CibbuanoLloyd, Lucas will come good: Knights
April 5th 2009 10:32
ESSENDON coach Matthew Knights is confident that out-of-form veterans Matthew Lloyd and Scott Lucas will rise out of their form slumps.
The Bombers skipper was held goalless for the second time in as many matches in Essendon's 38-point win over Fremantle at Ethihad Stadium while Lucas booted 1.2 after managing just one goal against Port Adelaide in round one.
Knights said he would give the pair time to find their best form.
"Why shouldn't I be patient?" Knights said.
"They've been absolute stars for the Essendon Football Club for such a long period and they're fine young men and they consistently continue to do themselves proud on and off the field."
"I'll have as much patience as I've possibly got because they deserve the patience. They will come good, I know that."
"As long as they're contributing and endeavouring to do their best, they can't do much more than that."
