I would like to think that RM and his coaching staff look at their part in yesterday's shambles yesterday and learn from it.
From team selection ( playing Williams, dropping Bidwell) plus the selection of subs ( freezing out Whittaker and Obafemi and choosing Cullen), to his failure to recognise when things aren't working ( playing everything through Grimes, allowing Grimes to take dead ball kicks,constantly going sideways and back, keeping Laird on when he was struggling yesterday) and failure to introduce fresh legs.
Yes the players need to learn from yesterday but so too do RM & his team

Difficult to argue with most of that

Agree. If players have to question themselves then so do the management team. Evolution not revolution.

Maybe swapping with you yesterday gave me a different perspective?
