It's quite short, quite brief, but he covers everything, whether that be in training or in the team meetings."One thing I've really been impressed with is the training side of things. There's a real emphasis - whether that's because it's pre-season at the moment - on the way he wants us to play, individually, collectively."We've done an awful lot of ball work, but I've been really impressed and everyone seems to finally understand the way he wants us to play. Naturally, that's going to take a few more games to get it where we want to be but certainly we're implementing that every day.""Andre is a modern manager. The thing that impresses me, he understands the players. He's not old school. I've been speaking to a couple of the other lads at Villa and Blackburn. They're on double sessions and they're busting their guts basically every day. Whereas I think football has moved on a bit from a few years back, and he certainly understands that, and listens, and takes on board what we say."

Henri 115 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 The captain is behind the coach, really no suprise is it?. JT is a survivor and a great captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Nice. It's important for the captain and the whole team to voice out support to the manager... Not only players need confidence, the manager does also, especially a new settling one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 So, JT has supplied his necessary seal of approval prior to the start of another season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
