Yes we lack the things you say but what your saying is basic rugby something every player is taught from schoolboy age ,if you think that Radford is stopping them from doing the basics and its not the players then your kidding yourself

BY ONE! In a league where the bottom side were absolute whipping boys conceding record points, and the team second bottom also shipped more points than anyone in 2013. Brilliant.
I really don't get this defence of a coach where the ridiculous notion of them instructing players not to do things is put forward in a (hopefully) ironic way. I don't think anyone is truly suggesting or believing that Radford is telling players not to back up or run on to the ball. The point is not that a coach is only at fault if he tells the players to do the wrong thing or not to do the right thing,
it's their job to get them to do the right things! If players are not doing as instructed, the coach still has to shoulder some of the responsibility. By your logic, if a class of maths students can't count it's purely the students' faults for not listening.
