Quote: JWP "What I find pleasing out of all of this, is that at least we have a Plan B. I know there's an arguamant that we shouldn't need a Plan B if 'A' is executed properly, but now & again in SL, you'll have opposition that find a way to stop you, and you have to counteract that, this happened last night. One of Culls failing if you were, was that if our Plan A didn't work, we were knackered, it was great to watch at times, but rarely did we win ugly or whatever you want to call it.
Tony got them in at HT, said his piece, obviously pinpointed the centre of the field, and it obviously soaked in, that's what'll please Smith. It's no good us watching the HT footage, him stomping around, then we come out and look just as clueless, they've listened, and I think this'll please him. Even if we hadn't have won, I think he'd have been pleased with the second half, as a coach, he must know that there's only so much he can do & say, the players execute his words, and he's delivered a HT teamtalk that's changed the game, because they've acted on his words.
We're starting to look like a decent side now, comfortable top eight stuff. We're also showing we can play different ways, dependant upon the opposition, we cut Bradford to shreds out wide, we've bullied Hull down the middle for 40 mins, we're able to look at other sides weakness and exploit that. I'm really positive.'"
Good stuff.
Can anyone tell I was a *teency* bit frustrated at half-time?
