I shout myself hoarse encouraging this team and have never once shouted any negative words at the team during the game. I am fully 100% behind the team in public always no matter what. Nobody would ever guess I need to vent frustration sometimes and I do that here, thank god for this place better out than in they say.
My gripe is with Robbie and what the feck did he get the players for Christmas, with the best striker and with such a lead at the top, explain how we've only managed to score 2 or more twice in the 10 league games since then.
To be 17pts clear with no idea of the best 11, a squad with a loss of confidence and with no momentum is a joke. Being clear at the top should have allowed RN to blood youngsters give fringe players a chance, see what we have got and what we need. Some players actually show up better in a game than training, would have been great to give them a free hit. Getting the chance to play against teams who would kick their granny for a point to avoid relegation or make play offs with no pressure on getting results would have been ideal.
Can't do it now because a few more losses could get uncomfortably close points wise and ruin the fringe players confidence.
Most of the post Christmas matches have been sore on the eyes and if the last 10 games were the 1st 10 games of season would RN have got a contract extension?
Dont get me wrong if he then turned it round and got us 17pts clear and we had momentum then yes.
RN has an air about him that he thinks we believe everything is fine, the minute I saw Shankland chasing back 60 yards against ICT a few weeks back and make a tackle I knew it wasn't fine. He is ruining the boy, either making him do this or Shanks himself so desperate to get a touch and/or show an example to the others to work harder. He should be staying sharp waiting on service but shock horror there seems to be a problem here.
The definition of an eejit is to keep doing the same things and hoping for a different result, I'm talking about team selection here. he waits too long to change things, he stays loyal to out of form players.
Stop this tippy tappy sideways shyte
Get leaders on the park, give Shankland a partner, play offensive attacking football and out score the opposition.
Or else we face a nightmare next season, Shanks may be off, and I hate to think if we are 'nicely debating' when we are top and clear in one league, what's it going to be like if we are bottom and adrift in another.
Rant over thanks for listening
