I think i get what he means, i watched the after match interview right as it happened , there was a problem with the sound so from the point where he was asked if thomas and wooton were his prefered partnership all i got was pictures, the body language and his face was awfully negative, if you didn't know better you'd have thought we'd lost the game, he rarely says anything too comlimentary about the players and often offsets a compliment with a negative comment directly after, i think this is why he winds some of us up so much, we just won, while the honesty is nice a bit of passion would go down well

There are times when he says things about his players that you just know can't have gone down well in the dressing room, for instance saying we need more players because the current crop aren't of enough quality, i know if i were sat there and my manager said that about me i'd be annoyed, even if it were true!

A lot of us thought he had a negative,defeated demeanor when we were not doing well its starting to look like that is just his character, we haven't really seen him while we are doing well and getting results, this might just be how he is win lose or draw, which if im going to take a positive out of it means he's not likely to flap or get flustered or over excited when it comes to crunch time.

Maybe many of us including me misread him because we only saw him while things were going badly, he wasn't so much defeated as level headed whatever the outcome.

It would be nice to see him a bit more upbeat, i like to see a manager compliment the opposition it shows class but a bit of umph when talking about our own chances doesn't hurt either.

Its good to see him doing better
