Laurie Calloway Quotations

We're not good at getting on the other end of head balls. We just don't score goals like that. We scored four headed goals all year.

Lewis is a great passer, very quick and he's good in the air. He can play all three positions in back.

No excuses. We didn't play as well as we should have. But it's halftime of a game that's 180 minutes long ? and maybe longer. These guys know they can do it, but they won't do it playing like they did tonight.

Richmond is probably going to defend (tonight). They're going to let us come at them, so we need guys who are going to be aggressive, guys who are going to get in behind them.

He has three young children and although he's making good money for this league, it's probably not enough.

He draws defenders. He's got to learn to dish it off more, but with that pace he's a bit of firepower we didn't have last year.

He knows what I want and he's going to demand that from the players.

We've discussed possibilities for him to remain in the organization.

We showed a lot of character to come right back, but in the second half we were poor defensively. We defended poorly on two set pieces and a cross, and we suffered the consequences. Credit Richmond.

Us being flat won't be a factor. The competition in training, the intensity has been better than it has all season. That edge was there again.

Based on how I want them to play ? fast break, counter (attack)-type stuff ? I think we have to be fitter than last year. We're working them a little harder because we started (a week) earlier and we have these perfect conditions outdoors.

It's a shock and a blow but it gives some young guys a chance to step up.

I want them there. They've been through this, they've won championships.

You can't replace a Schweitzer. He was probably more important in the locker room the past two years than on the field. I don't know if there's too many other people on the planet like him as far as motivating (teammates).
