Step 1 The response
The response this week (as opposed to last week) was exactly what we expected from a team under pressure.
Players came with a committed attitude.
It was particularly pleasing to see Williams response to the criticism.
(J Brown will probably take credit for firing him up :
: )
Our leaders for the most part (Cripps, Weitering and Jones) set the example.
The latter two were a formidable combination.
...and Walsh, who had a down game against GWS, bounced back like the champion he already is.
Step 2 The back-up
Having performed like that the very worst thing that could happen would be to not back it up with an equally committed performance.
That's the test. We'll have some down games but it's important to string together a few good ones in a row to build on the confidence gained from the weekend.
These are the situations that bond players and form the basis of really good 'teams'.
They'll come through the difficult times with the shared experience which will make them better as a unit.
