    This and it’s spot on:

    The damage was done a long time ago.

    At some point people need to realise that 39 times this season 11 players have crossed the white line and have delivered a winning result only 7 times under three different managers. They are ultimately responsible.

    The real issues need to be sorted at the end of the season and just hope we can get out of this mess with what we have.

    Twist.

    That group of players is far better than that attacking performance, and certainly better than 0 goals in 3 home games. Players come in play well, then turn crap.

    We’ve got 7 games to save our league status and unbelievably, we are still only 3 points off. Get Allen in, blimey I’d even give Nolan another go.

    Would I think Ardley’s even the man to get us out of ****ional League? Nah.

The hunger, fight passion and desire has to come from the individual players themselves. That’s the mental side of the game. You can have the best players in the world but if they are not mentally sharp or strong they won’t win football matches.

    Sports Psychologists need to pay a visit to Meadow Lane quickly to get the players heads in the right place for the remaining seven games.
    You expect errors in a game,naturally enough,but the Manager watches the opposition,finds their weaknesses & plays to it.If someone is not pulling their weight haul them off,switch positions around,try something different.Your the boss,the buck stops with you

    I’m also wondering if playing at Meadow Lane is having an affect on the players in that they are scared to express themselves in case they make mistakes and the crowd turns on individual players?

    This football manager game is so easy.

    The really worrying thing is a friend of mine witnessed hardy leaving the ground in a very upset state (didn’t we all) but said he appeared to of been crying !
    Let’s hope it was just the cr@p performance that had upset him and not other possibilities going on inside the club !
