Barker has got the basics right and has concentrated on making the football more fun and attacking, plus he is giving kids responsibility and they are responding.
I'm not getting carried away with Barker but is he that good to turn around the teams effort?or was Malthouse that bad and out of touch with the modern game?....I'm thinking its more the latter....
I tend to agree after today. We seem to have a lot more urgency, confidence and spontaneity under Barker so far. We looked bogged down, tentative and hesitant by comparison under MM. This is only the start - I'm hoping for more improvement as our confidence builds and we get back some more belief.
Reality always wins in the end.
