Slow Burning Dave, a man on the edge of tetch, where the longer the losing interview the shorter the fuse gets. Never, ever, ask the autonomous coach how long a niggle is!
"We got what we deserved…I don't think we played well all game. At half time we spoke to them and showed them a few bits and we didn't get any better."
OK, but why, you must have an idea given you're the man in charge?
"…that's nothing to do with the opposition that's got everything to do with us. I didn't like watching us today and I normally do. Why? It's a hugely hypothetical question…it's never one thing, we could be stood here for the next hour, it's not just one thing."
What do you expect, the Gettysburg Address? No-one's going to label Lee Bell a Churchillian orator but he said the ususal things in the correct order without too many umms and ahs. Basic coherence, like his team:
"Delighted...brilliant...amazing...pleased"
