And it was truly great to see them do that.
I would hope now that there is a change of attitude to accept wins are part of a developing side. The BPL has had a great effect on the local players belief - of that there is no doubt. Let's use that to drive further forward.
But it starts in the mind. And it comes from people expecting the best, not being surprised if a game is won.
