Realism and fight

Lee Bowyer talked yesterday of realism and fight, personal attributes that he lived by as a player and has instilled in his own players as a manager.

During his career Bowyer relied on bloody hard work, mixed with a fair amount of natural talent. A raking 40 yard pass equally as pleasing to him than chasing an opponent around a pitch with the sole purpose of getting the ball back by whatever means.

We’ve become used to this mantra in his press conferences, as have his players, and this week and for the next eight the players and the fans need to remember this and together give absolutely everything to the goal of staying in this division.

He had a dream.
