Cookie, we need to make it a non issue for a few games and just get our confidence back. You can't prepare to win and play to lose. Even Mick states he isn't getting the guys to see the victory, but see that we can win. The result works itself out in the end if the work rate is there. At the moment we don't have the work rate during games, but on the training track which just doesn't make sense. A loser mentality that must me rectified by the playing group. Not a coaching issue. A player mentality.
Mantis, addressing player mentality is Coaching 101; get your players, be they netballers, basketballers or footballers, up for the game.
