Interesting comments about the "energy from the manager" and the work ethic...

It’s been really tough - I’ve found it tough since I’ve signed for the club to be honest.
It’s not gone how I wanted it or how everyone at the club wanted it. Obviously we’ve seen a manager, who played a big part in me coming to the football club, lose his job. It hurts because we’re ultimately the ones on the pitch out there to produce results, and we cost a man his job. That’s football.
I’m loving the energy from the new manager and his coaching staff, and I’m enjoying the work ethic the lads have brought to the training ground the days I’ve been involved.
It’s not been a great start for myself personally at the football club, but I can’t look back on that too much - I’m excited for the future now and improving each week.

A big reason I signed was because I thought we’d be fighting at the top end of the division. We’re still early on in the season, so we’re not getting ahead of ourselves, but we are where we are and we need to move up the league - we’ll take that a step at a time.
You have to be self-critical and not blame other people. I’ve not done enough, or didn’t do enough, for the previous manager. I obviously got injured as well. I’m looking to put that right and put in some better performances. Hopefully that equates to some wins and us moving up the table.

It is good to see a player taking personal responsibility, rather than just lumping it into team failures.
 
It’s mad how things turned out but that’s what happens when the players aren’t coached correctly, let alone not conditioned to play as we’ve seen with a few of the players.

All positive words from the players under Evatt and can only see an upturn in form especially with players returning.

Totally agree pal. They never displayed any energy levels under SB and if rumours are to be believed then there was obviously no intense training or stamina building which is essential when playing professional football;
with that said the players also have a personal responsibility to make sure they are match fit.

The only way to be match fit is to play games yourself, so how can a player take personal responsibility to ensure he is match fit if he isn't playing?
 
Definitely seems like he cares, just needs a run in the team… unfortunately Bruce thought he was playing football manager and forget he actually had to create some sort of way of playing!
