Trying to figure it out

I have been trying to figure out over the last few days why I feel so unsatisfied with our current manager.It wasn't an instant dislike as can happen but it is more of a gradual thing still with moments when i am questioning why?
Some of it goes back to last season when Chutney and Phileas really could of managed the team and won promotion in March.The team was good enough all on their own it just needed real direction without too much intervention.
This season has seen us return to the level of football that we were at before the league was restructured all be the top half of that level and I really should be satisfied with mid table in the first season and probably will be in retrospect as we spent most our last few seasons at that level yo yo-ing up and down,but the manner that we are going about it at this time is going to send us spiralling towards the relegation zone.We are paying far too much respect to all of our opponents,with the attacking options we have to me this is just not necessary and is putting the side on the defensive all of the time with even the option of countering being more difficult with just the one forward in that actual position if the wide players make a counter at speed.Jack is giving more than his all in every game and how the lad is still standing after 70 Min's just shows how fit he really is,but he needs another player either as a pair of in a 1-1 formation.As for the defending a corner with all bodies that is beyond my realms of comprehension completely.How can you counter when every single player is defending? As for seeing it in the premiership,did it work and is any top side still doing it?
This manager causes more frustration with his negativity that any manger i can remember. Does he have any real idea of how to win a game from the start or anytime for that? It is still players individual quality that is getting him out of jail. John Turners goal on Tuesday was all about the player nothing else.
Do we expect too much and have we been spoilt over the last few seasons because as a team we have always been challenging for honours.Maybe?
Should we lower our expectations and expect to lose more than we will win for a season or two?
The thing is player wise we are better than that.With some togetherness,passion and rousing the side can do so much better.
The manager is not getting the best out of his players and what troubles me is Why?
Come and prove me wrong Keith,Mr A.Ferguson did in 1990 when along with thirty thousand others I was calling for his head.
What a level to aspire to even for all of the MUFC haters out there.
