It’s been a pleasant surprise. The competition going on here, the optimism, the confidence in this locker room to go out and prove a lot of naysayers wrong. There’s a history here of not being successful, but no one cares about that. We’ll write our own story this year and it starts next week. It’s been great so far.”

It’s not going to be excellent, we’ll be going in opposition to a fancy protection so we’ll must make changes on the go. I’m assured although. We’ve performed quite a lot of soccer individually, we’re a bodily duo and the group may be very bodily. We’re making an attempt to place our stamp on our model of play in Week 1. It’s not one thing that occurs in a single day, however we now have the appropriate mentality and expertise to get it executed.”

I instructed the blokes that if we get a couple of wins, the place goes to get rocking. We must exit and carry out, give our greatest effort and provides the followers one thing to cheer for they usually’ll have our backs.
