Not to defend him too heartily but an example I can give, Dundee game first half, Reading is marking McMullan at a throw in and he's followed him too far into the centre of the park. Hopkin shouts to Chalmers to mark him and Reading to come back over, Chalmers goes over to McMullan but instantly tried to hand him off to the nearest player.
There were lots of little things like that of them just ignoring him in both the Clyde and Dundee games that just made me think the players have no respect at all for him or his knowledge of the game.
