Well done to Matt. This group was extremely difficult and our U-21 NT has done well considering the current state it's in. Matt has done a great job in communicating with the managers of players to get the best out of layer development. We won't really see the fruits of Matt's work until the current crop of 18 year old talents are 21, so the future looks very bright, and I hope Matt is given at least a second term as U-21 boss to see his development of our U-21 NT through.
Looking at our Senior NT I don't think even if you had the best manager in the world you would do well with them. Even doing slightly better with them than their current record would be a push in my opinion. They are poor as our players have been neglected for years, thankfully Matt has taken some major steps to get us to move in the right direction, but it will be a while yet before we see an improvement in our Senior NT.
I don't see why our current Senior NT boss has such a low approval rating as it is, and I certainly don't see why Matt has only 80% approval (Matt should have 100% approval in my view). We are a small nation with few active managers compared to most other nations, and we haven't trained our players in the best way. That's a recipe for disaster anyway you would look at it. Matt has done a great job with us so far, armed us with the tools to get better, but it takes time, and we need to be patient and endure with what we've got. NT's aren't like your league team - you can't go out and buy the players you lack. Although there will always be people unhappy even if your doing well.
Anyway, well done Matt
