The problem

Back in the day, when County were a challenging side, a chap in the crowd used to shout to the captain whenjhe needed to change
his bowlers. Ray illingworth later admitted that he became wary of his better nature in case he was seen to be reacting to this pressure.
Perhaps EM feels the same way and explains his alleged stubbornness. His word to Madds recently suggests a brittle confidence.
Any radical changes now would be risky without the matches left to readjust. This will deter a manager who is risk averse anyway, so
it looks like a 'stick with what we have ' policy will see us out to the end...

Oddly, if we had arrived at this place after a season in which defeats had occured now and then we would be happier.
 
Sport is not about perfection, it's about a sense of jeopardy. The best players and Managers adapt to circumstances rather than the rinse and repeat tactics Enzo insists on.
He is his own worst enemy.
