A specialist set piece coach is just a sign of a sport that’s massively bloated with money, there’s nothing in set pieces that any general coach shouldn’t be able to deal with, they’re not exactly black magic are they?

Simon Rusk being on the payroll but not doing anything to earn it takes the biscuit. *gets coat* I find it hilarious that we never get mentioned in any articles about him. This is the Athletic article that is mentioned in the one tggtiw shared and he's described as "the former England Under-19 and Brighton coach". I want to erase your time with us as well, Steve. I still find it maddening that there are people (almost exclusively not County fans from what I can tell) who say he's our second best ever manager cause he had a high win percentage. Ignoring the fact that in his time with us that win percentage was still well below expectations. theathletic.com/5307059/2024/02/29/forest-united-fa-cup-result/?source=emp_shared_article

Older players would be having hysterics over that if they are not turning in their graves in this stupidity thats happening in a game bloated with money but clubs seem to post loses at the end of financial years. All to get an edge on the others who,ll quickly follow suit and copy if a top clubs finds any success due to it. Even taking a basic corner now is regarded as a skill now where once most players in a team could take a good corner unlike the irratic ones we see now. Then there are the training ground fancy free kick, but how many actually come off in a season. What next a specialist coach appointed to defend what a specials has come up with.

the corners thing is an analytics one, at least at the higher levels. The big picture is that British fans are far more over-excited about corners than they should be, it's something like only 3% of corners actually lead to goals once you get to a half decent level.
With that in mind, corners that 'look good' to fans are pretty useless and inefficient when it comes to actually scoring goals.
The modern type of corner that doesn't beat the first man is a deliberate ploy, as on those occasions those corners do beat the first man, they've a very high chance of actually scoring.

No but you could say that with a defensive coach and an attacking coach. There's a time limit one coach can spend looking at something too and the wages of coaches will be a fraction of the overall budget so clubs will always be looking for something that gives them an extra 1% without spending millions. Rusk as a set piece coach though. Terrible choice.

True if you want someone to coach the most boring football I've seen at edgeley Park for many a year yes rusk is your man. He's the modern equivalent of Terry venebles no idea how he stays in football when his record isn't that good

He was part of a team/set up at Brighton that produce alot of good talent that went on to make the first team.

He was part of a team/set up at Brighton that produce alot of good talent that went on to make the first team. In an industry as small as football its highly unlikely someone will call a spade a spade. So we're not near the truth. I think rusk had the capacity to be liked by everyone as he didn't have a ruthless bone in his body. Chally came in out went Rooney. Got promoted palmer went eventually. If he thought it was right he'd let Ben go. Rusk strikes me as a fella who was nice to everyone that works great at development football keeping people onside. In men's football things are now brutal.

Being good at under age limit football where its more about performance than results cannot be a good training ground for somebody doing the first team job well down the leagues. Win all the stats especially the posession one and they,d be happy more than the result of the game is. There will be other rusk types with top clubs and in the words of the wise it is what it is.

In men's football things are now brutal. The biggest shock was rusk actually played non league football but forgot about it. A case of theory against practise to compare him and DC. We should have gone in for DC in the first place and was possibly Wilson and co. biggest mistake they have made with us.

He didn’t improve a single player at County That’s because he wasn’t any good and developing boys to men, and therefore reached the end of the road. In fact, you could say…
