Doc on RSN Breakfast Club last Thursday May 08, 2018, 03:37:58 pm Do yourself a favour and track down the podcastHe was on for 20 mins and soooooo impressive. A really good listen about his current situation with rehab and coaching, the state of the team and some stuff around tactics I had never heard beforeMuch better than the usual 3 min media cliche fest from most players Quote Selected

We are working our way through this and trying to find a balance that works with this group, pretty difficult given the inconsistencies that come with such a young group. Will be a bumpy road which hopefully will yield a win in the short term otherwise it's gonna be a long year for all concerned. Quote Selected

It's also the inconsistency of personnel caused by injury.It would be extremely hard to settle on a plan when your team looks different every week.We criticise the match committee /coaching group at times for persisting with certain players but it may be about creating some form of stability.That was a really good interview...I was a "Docherty for Captain" man already. That just confirmed it for me. The guys not only a 'football talent but a 'football brain' as well. We'd have an on-field Captain-Coach Quote Selected

We'd have an on-field Captain-CoachExactly!I'd suggest that captaining running off the HBF is 1000% easier than trying to captain from inside a stoppage!As an inside on-baller, with so many stoppages per game, when do you ever get that moment just to scan around the ground and survey the terrain?

It was captivating listening, especially in terms of helping listeners to understand the game... and as far as the CFC goes, what our blokes are going through. Quote Selected

Whereas it sounds like bolts has our kids trying to run the right “patterns” and ensure they are always in the right position for the team. Less glamorous in the stat sheet, but hopefully will benefit them long term??? Quote Selected
