That's about it alright - though I would certainly think that Koeman has not held back in training.
It's not like 30 years ago, players have all the aces these days, you wonder what exactly can be done. Discipline in training was lost under Martinez and we have a group of players used to being praised and cosseted.
The days of a player being intimidated by Ronald Koeman walking in are long gone.
As well as Koeman, it's time now for the senior pros to step up - we have two international captains in the back four, and the squad if anything, is weighted with aged players - it's their responsibility too.
After the derby defeat last year, I recall someone on here suggesting that Bill or one of the other directors should step in and speak to the players, it really was that bad. It should never come to that but the main issue is that we don't have a lot of vocal, mouthy players, older, or younger, in this group. There is not a great deal of leadership.
All I can think of currently is to get Duncan involved more - a bit more British grit would make a good counterbalance to RK and EK, but perhaps this is there already.
