I expect vast improvements in a whole host of areas and factors today because things have been so poor and there is just so much scope for improvement. Maybe not every area, but significant progress in the most important. I'll see how we do at the end of the game!
1. I want a team motivated. The only thing on their mind is winning the football game, whatever the circumstances. Drive, passion, effort, commitment and a wanting to play for the shirt. This is of the most importance and though it may have been present 1st half v Watford, it certainly wasn't in the last home game.
2. A team of square pegs in square holes. This means a max of 3 strikers on the pitch and them playing up front. No strikers on the wing!
3. I expect us to mix it up a bit. Not endless hoofs from the halfway line from the centre backs. Short passes mostly and try to get it to the wing. Use width!!
4. Utilise Howard effectively. Not endless punts for him to flick on to nobody. Get the ball down the flanks, whip in some good crosses for him to get his head to.
5. Howard and Hayles not up front together. Too slow.
6. A captain's performance from Clemence...some bloody leadership! Or give the captaincy to someone else.
7. No goal costing errors from Alnwick. Plus I'd like him to mix up his distribution a bit, and throw it once in a while.
8. A bit of urgency if we go behind. If that does happen, I expect the players not to act disheartened and beaten but to try to get back into the game. Which leads on to...
9. I expect the players to put in a 'performance' for more than 10 mins of 90 when it is too late to do anything!
10. Subs that are suitable and not to late to have an impact.
11. Lackzo - if playing...put in some bloody effort and do some work when you haven't got the ball.
12. I expect us to at least look like we're capable of scoring more than 1 goal a game if necessary.
13. I hope that the pitch has been verti-drained and that the good weather means it resmbles a football pitch more than a cow field.
14. I expect, that despite the consistent crap and losing football for 4.5 years, there will be another good crowd, 22000+
15. If we don't play well I expect Ollie to say so, without wrapping up a dog's dinner of a performance into a gourmet meal.
And all that without saying I expect 3 points! That is a hope.

Still thought he played a bit deep.
