Normally you might say a 'big' Premier League club -- for the money -- which maybe is a defeatist attitude. ... OK,I know that we'll not win the FA Cup - but - what I want ( and not just in the cup games ) is; 1. Commitment - did we get it ? ---- not really 2. Passion - did we get it / --- Well without commitment, you're not going to get passion. 3. Desire ( you already know the question - and the answer) 4. Quality ....... now I'm just dreaming ! 5. What did we get - a bag of dog's 'do' I don't mind losing -- goodness knows, I've had plenty of practise - but - it's the way in which we lose -- barely 10%, let alone 100% effort
Exeter aren't a bad side, so it was always a potential banana skin, but it shouldn't happen. I think there have been more unpredictable results than usual this season, not only in the Cup but across most divisions, and wonder how much is because of absence of spectators. It could be quite reasonably argued that professional sportsmen shouldn't need further encouragement, but we all know how much effect a partisan crowd can have
Tim, Whilst I understand what you say - the difference is that the players get paid - for abject apathy - at the expense of fans, - who have to pay to get it!.... No excuse for lack of 'hunger. '
So where was Medley today? Why did we leave it until the second half to replace Maghoma? When are we getting another first choice keeper in, to get Bonham to up his game, unless Walsh is ready? What the hell happened out there today in that 15 minutes of madness? Jackson, why were you sorting your socks out when we are 1-3 down, while we are waiting for you to take a throw, where was your sense of urgency? Our front two are not natural goal scorers, I don't care whay anyone says. You can probably tell I'm not happy.
I think people are being unfair, it is only too be expected that there will be a difference in quality, skill, passing, ball control, passion, work ethic, fitness between league 1 and league 2. Can anybody who watched todays game, honestly say they didn't notice the difference,
grumpygit, I'm confused - and that's the only reason why I didn't "like" your post.... I didn't realise that L1 players are expected to concentrate on raising their socks - as opposed to " Pulling them up.! "
So I wasn't imagining it!? I was watching him and thought what ******** **** you doing. You never ever saw a player like Charlie Lee or Barry Fuller do stuff like that.
I didn't watch the game, but based on comments here I think you might have missed the point of grumpy's post...
