I wonder if he's realizing how hard this will actually be
Possibly, but as a LBW, you cannot afford the luxuary of pointing out these things to your WAH. In fact, without any assistance from you...especially verbally, the better the spotlight is shown on his true source of the frustration.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
