Just watched and most of it fine but am I wrong to be a little concerned that the manager says “8, 9, 10 games into the season we’ll be a little bit sharper.”? I’m a big believer in giving time to see how things work out but I would hope the players would be “sharper” a fair bit quicker than that. I’m hoping this is just a half considered comment post match. And as you just said Mark, probably a large element of the manager saying one thing to the world and another to the players.
I couldn’t make the game as I’m away for work and couldn’t watch online, so I can’t say how we looked tonight.
