Last time we had Beenhakker to take charge
And he was de kinda coach who had de pull to say he not toleratin any interference on how he runnin he teams or else he walkin and mean it.
Few people WANTED Beenie to walk den.
Dis is NOT de same situation.
Plenty things was different last time.
As bad as things were under Bertie we were already in the Hex and had a core of experienced players that had been playing together for the preceding two or three years. The team selection wasn't apoint of debate every time we play a game.
Yorke come back, good. Birchall come in, good. Latas come back, even better.
We had Dog and Lawrence with 10+ years of experience under they belt. Both of them used to make the same kind of dotish defensive errors that Hislop and Thomas making now, but at least they had enough experience to learn from past lessons.
We had keepers with top international league experience.
Now even with all that it take Beenhakkerseveral games to drill the team into a competitive shape where we could execute a plan for 90 minutes and get a result.
