I'm not over 40 and I get it! Got to love a bit of Thunderbirds!
It really was a good start. There seemed to be a lot of purpose, moreover 1 thing I noticed yesterday was Cliffy. Now, over the season it was said many times that the coaching staff perhaps concentrated on the Officials more than our players vocally. Yesterday poor old George Washbourne was in the left wing back spot and he got constant (and I really do mean constant) advice and gudiande from Mark. Sometimes he did shout, but also whenever George did something particularly good he also praised him a lot. It was actually quite refreshing to see, and maybe it's a difference in mentality?
It was also good to see Luke there, even though he wasn't part of the squad sitting with the rest of the lads on the bench. Clearly shows that there really is a tight knit group now and I'm personally very excited for the new season.
