Players always think that they should be selected and some think that the team should play differently, very few go on to be successful coaches. Players reaching the end of their careers rarely recognise the fact until they find themselves playing at a lower level and struggling. Cockers support for injured players particularly ones whose playing time ended abruptly (Brett Deacon, Richard Blaze, Anthony Allen) must earn him credit in the dressing room. Players I have spoken to are largely happy and have respect for Cocker, there have been some in the past who felt they had a grievance but lets face it who of us has not disagreed with our boss at some time.

If you want to work for an idiot then become self-employed - I did!
