No courage, no heart, no desire

PDC: After last week describing his players as better than himself, after Saturday's game he told the chairman he wanted to sign four or five players in the January transfer window, saying that five of the players had "no courage, no heart, no desire". Just to finish off the week, PDC then claimed his regime at Swindon was "more organised than some Barclays Premier League clubs".

My top striker is lazy and I think he is stupid

Di Canio told BBC Wiltshire: "He's professional but he can be lazy."

From the Football League Paper
"In early January we play Wigan and then have the JPT area final.
If he doesn't react well in the period before then I think he is stupid"

The players are better than myself

PDC has managed to describe his players this week without resorting to donkeys, stallions, chihuahua or rottweiler analogies. Instead he compares them to himself: "They are all good guys, all good professionals but some of them are even better than myself ... I could not expect this at League Two level. I have some idea - in the Premier League I played many years there ...so I have to say that many of them surprised me in some way"
