David Artell’s Management Tricks To Keep Squad Happy

The manager of Crewe Alexandra admitted on ways of management powers he used to keep the squad contented while preparing them for League Two at Cheltenham Town last month. He had a weekend off before he could prep up as there numerous selection problems as he plotted ways to get his side’s initial league scores of the season. Forwards Alex Nicholls and Chris Porter from the last league game had massive claims with just 3 goals between in 4-3 Checka Trophy won last month at Tranmere.

Artell with an ability to throw Corey Whelan, the Liverpool loan player into the mix was delighted and expressed his views. He said it’s great when there is competition in known places as there are lesser chances of injuries and people continue to play well. There is no single player that has sulked and every great first teamer has got an opportunity. It is a teamwork and each player has to put in efforts to fight for victory. As per Artell, Chris and Alex were terrific posts their performances. Jordan achieved 2 previously and came in to score again. As far as Richards is concerned, he received a green signal to begin the season between the sticks. However, it looked like he was dropped post his poor show in the 6-0 drubbing that was held in Colchester.

The manager also explained the inefficiency of Richards as he failed to follow guidelines, which made the team lose to Fleetwood in the month of August. Artell said he had a word with Dave and he is a good player. It is not only one bad game, but there were other things to it. Artell has always managed his squad well and prefers being honest when it comes to giving feedback about each player. This way, the players know where they stand and improve whenever required.
