How are you supposed to get better if no-one tells you how bad you are?It's mostly his fault because his attitude is atrocious. His talk about leadership and picking the brains of industry leaders etc is such a wank.
In stating that the club hasn't done the right thing by him. It's like no one has called him out on his BS. He should play reserves to get his game together and hopefully for him extend his career.
Imagine if you're a kid who can't read and is not really even trying to become a better reader and your teacher knows but doesn't do anything to address it aside from tell you not to worry and keep trying your best. No meaningful intervention, no consequences, no accountability. That teacher will have failed their duty of care and their job as the teacher of that student. This is the position Douhei and Brooks find themselves in now.
It is their own faults that they are not first grade standard players. They cannot be redeemed at this club in my opinion. But their ineptitude is just being compounded by the club's inability to hold them accountable for the substandard performances they are displaying week in, week out. Dropping them is the right thing to do to not only to trigger some of the self evaluation they need to improve their games, but also to show them that there is a standard to they have to play to and to take them out of pressure cooker environment that they aren't displaying the ability to deal with.
Douhei has no future with us. If the club keeps playing him with the form he is in at the moment he might not have a future with anyone.
