Apparently the team need to make strong choices on every play of the game and to make these choices in a positive and collective environment. Because they live as a team it is important they all contribute consistently.

A partial answer to the initial question: How about preparing properly for the opposition? Dobbo must have thought he was in heaven. Up goes his very predictable bomb and our well-drilled defence all look up admiringly at it. A day off the golf course doing some pre-match preparation would be a start.

I would trawl our member database and find our longest-standing season ticket holder. Then invite them to address the squad. Never mind Tony Rea's pals like Jade Johnson. The players need to hear what a fan thinks.

You assume they have a database and know how to use it! Current marketing (I use the term loosely) would suggest otherwise.
