Whenever Lam refers to the 'new style' I cringe. If he had to summarise the new style in words, what would he say?
It must be the style he’s seeing in training. As a bloke said to me in a Salou bar post the Nou Camp shambles ‘It sounds like we’re that good in training I want a season ticket for it’ and we’ll forget about the matches.
There’s no doubt he’s been dealt a tough hand in some ways and as much as we’ve not been too badly hit with the severity of our injuries (bar the two wingers), we’ve had a lot of niggles and in match disruption. In the main though the pivots like Hardaker, Williams, Leuluai, Lockers etc have been in and around the team and there’s no signs at all of us developing a new way of playing. He wasn’t given any top class recruits to base a new style around like new coaches usually get at clubs but still we should now be seeing something we can say ‘that’s Lams influence’ that’s brought that change about.
