Dear member,
I should start by making clear we are disappointed with how we are going but we are keeping it all in perspective.
Football is a tough business, and resilient people find their way through.
We are teaching our players the right way to play the game. We’re teaching the contest, we’re teaching people to think about defending a bit earlier and how to make it hard for the opposition to do what they want and we’re also coaching people to be smarter with the ball.
At the moment you’d be watching thinking ‘that’s not what we’re seeing.’
We have to keep educating people, demanding standards, demanding effort and rewarding people who give us that.
We have a lot of people in our team that have so much to learn about the game based on the fact that they’ve only been playing a short period of time.
I was fortunate to be a part of another club in a similar position and have had the privilege to experience first-hand how challenging but how enjoyable it is to have a philosophy and see it through. That philosophy is to draft and develop your own and bring people into the organisation that fit what we’re about — people that put the team first and who take great pride in how their Club is seen. We will plan and prepare and see it through.
The difference between good clubs and great clubs is that they focus on how they can get a player better, not bash them over the head and throw them out the door.
We have a new way of doing things here. A new approach to education and learning — experience tells me, it just takes time.
We'll find the way through this.
Sincerely,
Brendan
