"Hopefully..." classic Laidley speak, one of the things l like best about our new coach is that i've not once read or seen him say 'hopefully...' in reference to doing what we need to do and winning, he comes across like he's got no doubt in our ability. It may take a while for the players to...

Most important thing we need is someone who can develop the mental brawn and motivational hunger that we've lacked. Look forward to see how the boys will respond on the field.
This is getting way to personal for my liking and i normally don't go near threads that get this heated, but just to clarify, my post was in response to this statement, which i found a bit surprising that the time was not known by Simmo, and aside from anything else they should be going for the...

As that's...
Whether or not Wellsy needs to harden up, the real issue is that Dean appears to have no idea about people management and basic psychology.
Dean agreed with Daniel that he could have worded some stuff differently. If you are going to spray a player publicly with a view to motivating them...

One thing he does provide is more pressure in the midfield to keep the ball forward as AR2 indicates, helped by his backline apprenticeship. He may not be the most talented player, but he uses what he's got with 100% effort most of the time and actually has decent skills.
