Tonka is a good Player but sadly he was not used and treated right by Karl IMHO. He had come back from a bad injury and no doubt a bit unfit and maybe mentally a bit down when we signed him. I think he is better off the bench and used in 20 Minute passages, rather than playing from the off. I think he needed somebody to give him confidence and for the ballplayers to give him good quick balls to run on too.But we changed the ball Players around every couple of games and there was no understanding built between the Forwards and backs. With the Team seemingly having no belief and confidence in Karl, its no wonder Tonka and others have just drifted along. I believe Tonka will go away and be a far better Player, than what he was at Fax and that goes for others as well. Karl didnt seem to understand how to not just help the Team, but have the man Management and technical side to improve them as individuals. For me, a Coach is more than just signing a Group of Players and sticking them out there with your plans. You Need to get Players Feeling comfortable and make them understand what is required of them and help them see where to improve and what they Need to do. I just never really saw that in Karl. He seemed to just drop Players for no reason and come across as an abrupt Person who you dont mess with. A Coach nowadays Needs to be often more like a Parent, rather than just do this and do that and then make excuses when it doesnt work.
