To me there are only a handful of real battlers in the side who will give their all week in week out and this MUST BE addressed by Austin. He himself has said that graft and hard work over the full 90 minutes is a pre-requisite but we don't always see it and in some cases it is shockingly obvious at times (Powell and Matt Crooks for example). CW always used to say that quality only makes a difference if you are at least as physically competitive as the opposition. DA says these are a hardworking bunch with a first class attitude but we don't always see that on a Saturday afternoon. Why not?
These are the only players I've seen in recent times who ALWAYS seem to care, regardless of how well they play: Hoskins, Buchannan, Cornell, Taylor, Foley and McWilliams. I don't care what DA says about the attitude of the rest, if we can't see it there's sometjing wrong. At the moment I think those mentioned should all start every game because we need some fight. Of these, I would say that only Buchannan and Taylor are potential leaders, but even their heads seem to go down at times. I totally agree that we need a real leader who will still be geeing the players up when we go 2-1 down to sides like Cheltenham because the way things are at the moment it won't be the last time.
