Can’t help but feel they have a plan and know it might take some time for it to get learnt & for players to click together properly, before it will work properly.
When that is the case you don’t just get knee jerk reactionary like a seasoned Blitzer and throw it around in panic.
Some here seem to think this is just like any other year, it isn’t. I said it a while ago, but right now, what Woosha and the coaches are managing, is probably the weirdest, and most difficult situation team wise, possibly ever. It’s not like last year where no one expected a win, and it was all about blooding some youth & trying not to get smashed. Right now, in this first period, is the hardest part of his time with us so far, & ever likely will be.
No one knew how the returning blokes would go, and they certainly haven’t just slipped straight back in in great touch as we might have hoped, … but I’m sure he’s not totally surprised by that, but maybe is, as I am, by just how out of touch a few of the big namers are.
Jobe aint Jobe yet, neither is Hepp in 2015 form by quite a way, and Hooksey has been a bit out of sorts, with Hurley moreso, … but what is not lacking is the effort & endeavour they are putting in, … perhaps they are putting too much pressure on themselves right now??
It was always going to take some time, and you don’t change horses mid stream just coz. You stick with the fully informed, properly & professionally considered plan, and give the guy’s the time they need to get their touch back, and for the team to amalgamate.
They’ll know within the next month or 2 if it is going to pan out as expected/hoped, and if not, then maybe an alternate tack will be employed, but until then, it’s steady as she goes, back the plan & the players in, and wait for that cake to rise…
