Yeah, I'd probably turn into a shit player if everything I was good at and doing well was lambasted by my manager who constantly gave me shit for playing the game as best fit my attributes.
Couldn't agree more with you. Goodwin wasn't the only player to be stripped of confidence and dignity by GVE. It was a common theme of his managerial style, and we wonder why the team was shite. Players will take a while to get the confidence back. I'm happy to see Goodwin signed up again.
