Funny you should mention this; a couple of weeks ago I was talking to a taxi driver who’s a friend of Des Walker. Apparently Des had a problem with some of the players (no names, unfortunately) because they only seemed to talk to the manager through their agents and were, as you say, wrapped in cotton wool. Lazy, too, according to the taxi driver.

What the recent management has done differently I don’t know. My guess would be that hopefully some of the players have woken up and realised what division they’re playing in. I don’t like the booing culture, but anyone with a prima donna attitude who doesn’t do the job deserves it to some extent. And they don’t deserve to be with the club, either. I’d rather see eleven players play with commitment and lose every week. Well, for a bit, anyway.

Good job the taxi driver was a Red too – he might not have handed in the house keys that I dropped otherwise!

Oh aye, I could most definitely be on the wrong track completely…

If your interpretation is correct (which it may be) then its insulting to season ticket holders (as I was last season) who paid good money to see very well paid “professionals” turn out in the Red.

However, it wouldnt suprise me if this is a bit of lazy journalism where Breckin has simply said that the manager is doing a good job in motivating the players.

Dont forget that the Post has a continual axe to grind with Megson for not talking to them.
