Why can't we get IE a PR adviser? he needs one just as much as the 1st team needs a striker.
A team psychologist is a must have. They stand more of a chance, of stopping the slow sleepy starts than IE does.
The PR adviser and psychologist must be able to work together. What effect does IE's statements and conversations have on players, individually and as a team?
We were much better, the last time we had all the above.

It says it all when the BN highest rating for our team was 5.5
The stream underperformed but Evatt picked the wrong team.
We play forest Gree on Tuesday, It's to be hoped that we win that game.

Many have been quick to dismiss yesterday.
FGR at home and then Charlton away, will demonstrate whether dismissing yesterday as just a bad day was a good idea.

I'm thinking evatt isn't very flexible tactically. Seems to have a game plan and stick with it. Warne definitely out tactic evatt yesterday..The same issue with Declan John being targeted down our left now iredale is injured
Would have thought a back 4 would have worked better yesterday with Williams and sadlier either side of Charles. Could also then bring Jones in as a right back and give Bradley a break.

Wash day again.
What a nightmare hanging out the washing.
Which pegs work best for what? I've got wooden pegs and plastic pegs of all different shapes, sizes and colours.
Why is it pegs suddenly fail and let you down. I've even had one ping off the line and fly high and away, beggar knows where it is now.
Enough of clothes pegs.
My new electronics peg board has arrived. Now to work out what goes where and the best way to make it all work together.
Did I tell you about the new aerobics workout video? It arrived yesterday.
Have a watch it could be just what we need to wake up and warm up to.

Ian can't come to the phone right now.
He's watching Sesame Street, today it's the letter P. He's hoping there's a song about pegs. I beg it'll be Peggy Sue.

The team wouldn't be able to learn that routine Pasty, there is too much to it. Remember they are footballers.

I think IE and the boys are using big Kev's old Tai Chi videos.
I tried it once; I didn't wake up for a week.
