ballers... i think we r both singing from the same hymn sheet here. a couple of players were outstanding, and we r short of belief. the committment is there for all to see from the players... in the final third we r simply not good enough on the evidence so far.
the real point about Heathcote is management style. i was sat behind him in the stand, and he was clearly abusing and bullying Reeves and DJ. Reeves ran after lost causes and aimless channel balls all night. DJ is clearly only about 40% fit, but still tries to put in an honest shift. Both players clearly demonstrated total committment, and did not deserve the criticism and abuse from heathcote. maybe they werent good enough on the night , but they tried. This is the problem with heathcote, when things go wrong he loses it , becomes increasingly frenetic and in the end splashes about like a drowning rat. Robinson on the other hand, was calm and cajouled his players.that my friends is modern management.
