I'm relaxed about it. I posted at the start of the season I had no expectations so fair to say the county stuff has been a huge welcome. White ball is going to take time, we went backwards in recent years and I don't forsee that changing quickly anytime soon. Alan Walker is a good man, spoke to him at Leicester a couple of months ago and he was very open and honest about recent years and he himself was very critical about certain things and people, he didn't shy away from things and didn't make any excuses, he's a good bloke and like us he's also a fan who loves the club. Last couple of games have been embarrassing but overall the place has had a massive lift this year which is credit to everyone. We've just got to keep going and get promoted. Small steps, though I still would like to see Marcus North out of the club, I think he's very fortunate he's still in post. The development of the young players is a concern but I can't blame that in Campbell, again a lot of damage was done in recent years and confidence was shot with many of them. Plenty of work to do but promotion would signal a positive on the road to recoveryAs I was leaving, a couple of Durham members were expressing their displeasure to Alan Walker. (I didn’t hear the whole conversation and wasn’t deliberately eavesdropping, but I could hardly miss it)
To his credit, he didn’t just dismiss them, but was basically saying that we need to look at the whole picture and not be distracted by a couple of bad results.
I tend to agree. Sunday and today were embarrassing. But when we look at the progress we’ve made this season, we have to be satisfied with this? As I posted earlier in the thread during the match, if we get promoted, days like today will just be a blip in the history books.
The lad (and his team mates) were probably laughing their bits off when they got back to the dressing room.
