PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS AN OVERVIEW FOR THE MONTH APRIL,
THE RESULT AGAINST THE IMPACT WILL BE ADDED TO THE POLL IN MAY.
PLEASE READ BEFORE RATING!
(it'll make everything a hell of a lot easier)
Each category gets a specific rating, from 5 (being the highest) to 1 (being the lowest). To calculate the average rating, just add your total up and divide by 5, if it's got a decimal point at the end of it, you can round either up or down based on the simple question "did Nelsen perform up to your expectations for the month". Afterward, you post your total rating on the poll, from 5 - 1. As a nifty little added feature, i've attached links to the matches. simply click on the match to head over the post game analysis, crourtesy of the MLS. it'll make it easier to back up your points with information. Here's the criteria:
TACTICS
how did you feel about the tactical choices made?
what about his starters? subs? formation?
RESULTS
how did we do in terms of results?
did we tie games we should've lost? lost games we should've won?
EFFICIENCY
how effective was Nelsen in utilizing the players he has?
did he play some players out of position? did he have a reason to?
COMMUNICATION
how effective was the coach in explaining his outlook and choices in the paper / on torontofc.ca / on TFCtv / in post match interviews?
TRADES / MISC / XFACTOR
were the trades made productive or counter-productive?
did he fly off the handle at get a 4 game ban?
was he making eyes at your wife/girlfriend/same-sex partner?
A general guideline: Its how you feel at the moment, not a final assessment. Like a marathon, this is just a snapshot of our support for the month. A low approval rating does not rate him as an overall failure, just like a high approval rating does not mean he's Sir Alex Ferguson. For the sake of context, this is how he / TFC have preformed in APRIL:
