As much as I agree, let’s ask the players to ****ing try first

I’m so annoyed I can except losing when you’re the second best team, but mix that in with players not trying it does my head in. No excuse to not try

I am going to be controversial here but that comes from the manager too. I have said for a while, that how we approach games

The players could chip in …

… Dan Neil must be playing in camouflage green.

They could and Neil has been **** for months. Checked out with his contract on hold. Keeps getting played and still captain. We can predict how we will play and set up. I want to see RLB actually make some changes and try to arrest this. It's the same every week.

think he deserves a chance with fully fit wingers

but a mundle clone and maybe this style is better?

agree you can’t decouple player effort and the coach. Clearly it’s not all the coach’s fault but it’s also his job to keep the team playing at the right effort level.

This for me

don’t think tactics are as much a problem as the players mindset is

they’re waiting for the play offs

Has that not come from the manager, with this rest attitude and basically approaching games like pre season friendlies. Imagine a keane having that attitude. Don't think so.

But do you know what he’s saying to them in the dressing room? What if he’s kicking them up the arse? What if they just don’t care about this game?

Wonder if Neil got subbed for samed today over jobe because he was h the e worse of the two by some distance or because he’s protecting from injury etc

at this point with Neil it’s a purple patch of good form rather than purple patch of poor form with the middle 30% of the season being great but the first and final thirds being way below average if not poor
 
Been out with family, checked the score and wasn’t shocked in the slightest. Like the players and manager I also feel I’ve checked out.

Just said I have no idea where he is playing

Think it's Rigg actually. So with just over 1 game until the playoffs our front 3 is;
Watson (one foot out the door), Isidor (hasn't scored in months) and Rigg (a midfielder).

Wow.
