Apathy

[Gerryhatrick]

Got back last night and I'm still shaking my head at how and why half the team just seemed so uninterested in trying to create chances or even defend.

The whole of the midfield, plus BEA and Zamora looked like they had no passion or understanding of why it was important to even try to win the points. It was as if it was an inconvenience to go on the pitch to earn the absurd amount of money they get.

Poor passing forward, no fight to win the ball back when losing possession, no movement from Zam up front, jogging back to defend when they attacked, just generally apathetic.

Something's wrong with team spirit, and this stems from HR. He needs to get tough with some of these dodgers. If we lose in a manner that had fight and determination I would be happy, but to just not care is unacceptable.

Well done for going Gerry.
I said last night before the game this is a game that we needed to win to show we mean business.
The first half was an embarrasment to our club. The second half a bit better. But as you say there is a lot of work to do to get us looking like promotion cnandidates.
I am just waiting for all the positivity brigade to pipe up now, lets hear what you have to say on last night's performance.
