I think the Boss pretty much summed up everyone’s feelings on the game during his post match interview. The big question now is, can he address those issues?
The biggest worry for me is the feelings of the players themselves. After a promising start to the season, with player showing some enthusiasm and commitment, everyone had hope. This game gave me the sense that all hope had gone.
I have no idea of the actualities but I’d have had everyone down first thing Saturday morning, reviewing the game, asking the questions and more importantly, demanding improvement. A good old fashioned thrash it all out session, pointing out that a ticket to the South of France still had to be earned.
I would then have had a ‘gentle’ session of practicing catching kick (*including kick off’s) and playing the effing ball at pace. We either don’t do it correctly or at a speed that would embarrass a sloth.
