For me the lack of care for the club with how it’s being run is still the much bigger problem. I heard commented on the radio that around the ground it’s looking shabby, dirty, our once award winning pitch is terrible as we all know. For as bad as we were last night I do think Mick and the players care, and regardless of the poor performance I feel bad for the guy getting that much stick. I know it goes with the territory but I’ve never liked the scapegoat approach and rather it was vented at Marcus Evans and his pals to give the boys a chance of performing. It’s no surprise this was the 5th game at PR without a goal.
That said tactics were clearly bad from the start and that is Micks fault. Constantly lumping balls forward to Sears, resting Waggy and Connolly despite being on max yellow cards, and apparently “leggy”. We clearly missed Skuse and possibly Garner but he should’ve had a better plan than that. That many changes in a must win game does seem crazy when we’ve got nothing to lose by going for it. The club’s announcement that’s coming better be something special but I’m not holding my breath.
