Rowe Must Go

This is not meant to be hard on coach, Colywn Rowe but to say the man has overstayed his welcome and someone ought to buy him an air ticket back to Britain.

Honestly, this man has done more harm than good to the Zebras, ever since he took over the reigns from Veselin Jelusic. If what I have observed ever since he took over is anything to go by, then anyone can assume the Zebras coaching position. The coach has no game winning plans at all. We have managed a few unconvincing wins under his tutelage, and most of these wins are a result of some natural talent of some of our players, notably Modiri Marumo's brilliance in the goalposts. 

When the team was under Jelusic we criticised him for the defensive approach to the game- little did we know that his successor Rowe is an expert in this. He is so defensive that even in a must win game he keeps everyone at the back and hopes for a miracle to happen upfront. Against Egypt over the weekend, he employed the most defensive tactics I have ever experienced. Everyone was so at the back that even when we counter-attacked, the nearest man to the guy in possession (Dipsy to be precise) was always somewhere near the centre line- not even making a run towards goal. Dipsy was alone and lacked support upfront- he nevertheless made me smile. According to Popae TV (Btv) commentator, the plan was to catch them (Egypt) on the break. However, with everyone instructed to never cross the centre line we were bound 'go tlhola re defenda maitseboa otlhe'.
