From Depressed to Impressed

[JockPie]

Just back home after a 5 hour drive following the sponsors day today at Meadow Lane. Last night I was feeling really down and wondering how LW would be able to pick the boys up after Monday.
Let me tell you we have no worries. The training was sharp, entertaining and obviously fun for the participants. They were all buzzing and there was certainly no evidence of a hangover from the Wrexham game. LW gave us a real intelligent, informative and passionate talk pitchside, I’ll remember that for a long time.
After training we had lunch with the players and staff, to a man they were fantastic, they all reflected the passion, drive and discipline that LW has instilled into the team.
I sat with Chicksen, Baldwin and Austin. They were polite, humble, approachable and engaging just like the manager.
I said in last nights post that it would be surprising if LW could lift my spirits…..he did it effortlessly.

I have renewed enthusiasm for the playoffs, what a difference a day makes.

Not that surprised, given all that we've seen of LW and This Notts, but kinda surprised given the last couple of weeks they've been through.

We need some good news right now, and this [standard of] business as usual, works for me. Tx for posting.

Thanks JockPie!

This is such an interesting and cool insight! Thanks for sharing it!

What a fantastic read. I haven't seen it first hand but I'm not surprised at all by LWs man management skills. We've won far too many games this season for confidence to be an issue.

Cheers Jock. Your advices regarding the spirit of the team, after recent events, are just the tonic we all need going into the play offs.

Great insight.
I’m sure our players desperately want to win the title, but high on every players wish list must be the chance to play at Wembley.
There’s much to be buzzing about and little to be down about.
