EHL I know your not seeing players at training first hand now, but with your previous, can you see enough of the squad coping with the mental side of playing for Muscat, and being strong enough mentally to challenge for titles?
I can't help but feel when Muscat starts (if indeed it is not for another few weeks) that he will demand so much more of them than they have been giving and I'm not sure a lot of them are up to it.
I'm really excited about him coming, we need to be challenging at home, and I can see him making it so.

Gtgac hopefully he would introduce it over time mate. I don't think it matters what manager we brought in at this time, there's going to be a lot of hard days ahead as far as this season goes, as our squad just aren't up to it imo. I would love to be proven wrong, but can't see it. Our defence is worst than last year, our midfield don't seem to be clicking and our strikers are worst than last year. Whoever comes in will need time and money will they get either?

Boy blue getting time is what worries me the most, but as many have said, if he makes a noticible difference than people will give him time.
I think come January we need to focus on defence if we sign anybody, we have talent at other end of field so if he can sort the back out and get us a bit more solid he will get the time he needs.

Don't think manager will come in without assurances, financial or otherwise. Maybe new guy will sell some RM wasters generate maximum revenue. I can think six off top head can go forth. Certainly 49ers learnt expensive lesson with RM but know further outlay/ recouping business necessity.

Sorry, I have no idea what the 'mental side' of playing for Muscat means.
I genuinely believe our squad is comfortable capable of competing on all fronts, it's in my opinion that it's comfortably the strongest squad we've had for a long time.
In fact, I suspect that we'll see a vastly improved performance this weekend - simply because Martin and his toxicity are gone.

Think the same as best squad for a while EHL, kinda tired of saying it, couple in defence we're sorted, play three cm's got 5 internationals.

Sounds good EHL
Can't believe how bad one man can be
In fact I find it astonishing.
Anyway here's hoping we're now going towards better times ahead I hope everyone can and will get behind Muscat if it's him and gives him time
Think he will be a good solid option to be fair.
