Football Department Review

[Thryleon]

Regardless, the critics are ignoring the massive change in the way we play, and just looking at the results.

If Bolton had made as much progress and impact on our game style and scoring in his first two years as Teague has, then Bolton might not have got the sack!

In my opinion Teague is on the right track, with a trajectory that suggests huge improvement is possible over the next two seasons, and our club best be wary of the white ants that can see that and look to opportunistically get on board, and also be wary of our enemies that look to scupper that progress by any means possible.

The white ants see the reality, we are just 2 or 3 goals in the first half season away from being in the bottom of the top eight, the impatient fans are fools if they fail to recognise that change!

I share this opinion.

Ironically we are like the chef that has made the recipe for quite a good slow cooked meal and its simmering away now for the requisite time its going to take for it to be complete.

Through impatience, we keep lifting the lid, adding more salt, pepper, and anything else we think will accelerate the cooking process and in the end are going to spoil the dish.

Just leave the lid on, bubbling away, and get the sides and table ready to serve please, and stop fecking about with it!!

This could change if the dish boils over and we start getting thumped, but I suspect that its quite inconsequential.  The return of Plowman is the single most interesting part of this weekend for me.  If our defence magically stops bleeding as much as it has recently its a direct effect of having someone who is mopping up after the others there and his stature will grow accordingly.  Or not, it is only Adelaide we are playing against after all.
