Pressing concept
Defensive organisation
Getting our wingers starting more narrow and use the width of the pitch instead of hugging sidelines too much.
Shooting drills
Flog the shit out of them in pre season and harden them the **** up.

Either way, make a decision now.
If we sticking with Jones, so be it, announce it, let him get the squad he wants, let him put his job on the line with his selections and recruitment an make a decision at the January transfer window if we are still floundering.
If we are getting somebody else, lets get them, announce them. Let's make a decision now. If we get somebody new, let's not give them the excuse of "Not my squad".
It's going to be a long off season going round and round on this topic.
I couldn't think of anything worse, queue the next coach complaining about not his squad, cause let's not forget lawrie said it was no excuse, you know until recently and now it's convenient to roll out the usual excuses. Not to mention having Jones boys on multiyear contracts ****ing the new manager over for another couple of years of rebuilding.... And the cycle continues.
Sack Jones now already, sack the ****en lot of the off contract players, get an experienced manager in with the best part of a dozen squad positions open to bring in his players from the outset, visa spots available and marques spot open for them to utilise.
Ernie Merrick is free.
Legit question.
I didn't see what happened, but what exactly did Hoole do when he got subbed that set everyone off?
Also, it was very interesting to see how this was reported. I read the Herald recap and I was very impressed with the quotes that they used from both player and coach and thought both handled it really well.
But
Then I read the SBS account and (once again) they used direct quotes from Jones and he came across as a complete knob.
Apparently When Hoole was subbed he chucked a hissy and was only walking off when we were chasing the game and Zane had a go at his work rate and said something like Dont you ****ing take you head out of your hands or ill place it there for you. Thats only what ive heard from people who said they sit near the bench
