Re: Davies post match

I think it's a forlorn hope in this day and age to expect most managers to show much in the way of honesty or openness in a press conference. Everyone in football (apparently apart from Mo Salah) has media training up to the eyeballs now. And even if that weren't the case, Davies just does not look the kind of manager who would come out and show all his cards.

All that said, I do find his interviews painful to watch, especially when we've not played well. It's always the same patter and platitudes. It reminds me of that scene in Rick and Morty where Beth and Jerry are sent to alien couples' therapy and Beth manifests a load of self-obsessed Jerrys who immediately all start shaking hands with each other. It all feels very self-serving.



I'm still on the side of Davies getting the season to have a proper crack at managing at this level, but I think the away performances as much as the horrendous away form must be putting him under some pressure. It's not just that we are 21st in the away form table; we look like relegation fodder too often in these away games.
