Wallace was a tactician, marketer and list analyser - great for an experienced side with a strong, established development culture but terrible for a young team desperate for an education and hands-on support. Terry ran players into the ground through mismanagement, he shredded their confidence with his abstinence and he confused them into feeling inadequate through his over complicated gameplan.
Really he was the right coach for the wrong time. Hardwick is exactly what out club needs now. Whether he has the tactical nous as the side starts to push for the flag is uncertain...
You know, I wonder about this overcomplicated game plan that wallace supposedly had.
I get the impression that the game plan is more complicated now under hardwick, as the players have books of set plays, similar to gridiron, that they must learn.
Jack said something about the difference from wallace to hardwick was like going from primary school to high school.
It took rance until his second year under dimma before he actually understood
how dimma wanted them to play.
I think the big difference is that hardwick actually spends time teaching the players how he wants them to play and trains with drills specifically designed to implement his plan and set plays, repeatedly.
It seemed to be a huge learning curve for the whole team initially, which showed in the opening months of 2010 season.
