Hope v expectation

[Joe blogs]

 I resent being told that as supporters we set our expectations too high.

I EXPECT the team to turn up fit! well trained! allowing for injuries they are the best available.
I don't EXPECT heads to drop,
I EXPECT them to be trained to function as a team.
I HOPE they understand how much our club matters to us and will respect that and play wholeheartedly.
Naive? Maybe, but I always go to The Cottage with HOPE. (Though it is becoming harder.)

I expect them to show why they're professionals being paid millions of pounds rather than performing like a pub team stumbling around aimlessly hungover after a heavy night out.

I also expect Jol to demonstrate some kind of motivation and evidence that the players are receiving some form of tactical and physical coaching during the week

Its easy to motivate... Goal bonuses, win bonuses do that. What Jol needs to do is inspire his team to want to do well for themselves and for the fans

thats the problem they should not need to be motivated to do their jobs.
