Stevenson: No major changes yet

22 October 2010 08:30
Hibernian midfielder Lewis Stevenson has not seen a dramatic difference in approach in the short time Colin Calderwood has been in charge but he hopes the energy generated by the arrival of a new manager can fuel the players at Aberdeen. Calderwood arrived at Easter Road on Monday two weeks after John Hughes paid the price for a disappointing start to the season, which saw Hibs win one out of 10 matches. The former Northampton and Nottingham Forest manager has declared that his determination to win overrides any principles regarding style of play, whereas Hughes consistently spoke of his "philosophy". But, other than a greater emphasis on defending set-plays, Stevenson has not noticed too many changes in training this week. "The new manager still wants us to pass the ball, which for me is a good sign," the midfielder said. "Nothing dramatic has changed. We have done a lot of set-piece work, we're losing a lot of cheap goals that we have to cut out. "So that has changed but it's mainly the initial lift when a new manager comes in. Hopefully we can keep it going for a while."
