Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3220956, member: 1847"] Well let's hope we don't play them into form like last year. That is true. Very true. Individual performances do need time to fine tune as it were, and combinations need time to develop, but, it's the same story for us year after year. It just doesn't happen although for me, things looked a bit promising with Dearden and Milford over the last 2 seasons the little they played together. Since we have a new coach and there is a lot to be undone from the last 2 seasons, it [B]will[/B] take time (yet again) but for me, the biggest negatives that came up last night were our lack of resilience, that falling apart under pressure, that losing mindset which seems almost endemic to this team, and the simple lack of an organising principle in the middle - a true leader who knows how to read a game and organises the team accordingly. Like he who shall not be named. The last time we came close to that was when we had Locky and Hodges. Sadly for me, I can't see that sort of leadership, that fixed point as I call it, in our squad, and until we do, the best we can hope for, or expect is improvement in bits and pieces which is necessary, but not sufficient to go deep into the comp as winners. I feel we really needed a win last night to start undoing the loser mindset. Either way, we can see just how big a task Walters faces. Still, can't wait for the season to kick off. Go team. [/QUOTE]
