'If you can't play well, don't get beat'

Resolve has been big part of your reign, yes?






MM:"Absolutely. We were 2-0 down at Bransley in my first game and they responded brilliantly on that occasion.

"Knowing they’ve got that resilience and that willingness to fight for each other is a really big thing, particularly in this league because it’s a tough old league.

"We showed far more quality at Blackpool. The performance there was very good.

"It was always going to be a tough game at Peterborough, but if you can’t play well, then don’t get beat."

The trouble is we start every game with such a defensive mindset, that we frequently have to chase the game 2nd half.
Instead of “if we don’t play well, don’t get beat”
Why not… “don’t worry about what they do, let them worry about what we can do!”

With this mindset you draw more games than normal which means you've Lost more points than if you win and lost games.. we lost out last season because we drew to many games... may have only lost 3 in 24 last season under him but it didn't get us top 6 as that stat said it should have done ...
