Last season: Started off playing awful football but scraping wins in our first 3 games before being found out by St Mirren. Then a few up and down results, culminating in Ray being sacked after 10 games. New manager comes in and we see an improvement in results for a few weeks before the form takes a dip, we go back to playing awful football and rumours begin about the manager "losing the dressing room" and players just not wanting to play for him.
This season: Indifferent start, still playing dreadful stuff but picking up a few wins until the 5-1 hammering by Ross County sees Csaba booted out the door after 7 games, similar to last season. **New manager comes in and we see an improvement in results for a few weeks before the form takes a dip, we go back to playing awful football** (copied and pasted from above) but NO rumours of "losing the dressing room" or players just not wanting to play for him.
What am I getting at? Is there unrest in the dressing room again, just like last season? From what I'm reading on here, it sounds very much as though we have a number of players not giving everything to win games, not showing the commitment that we need to win this league and who are perfectly happy to just drift along, picking up their wage and then probably disappear at the end of the season. Sounds exactly like last season to me. Why is this? Where have we gone wrong again? Do these players sense that if they get us promoted, they will most likely be shipped out and replaced by superior players, better suited to the bigger league? Are we not paying good enough win bonuses?
22nd of December was the last time we scored more than one goal in a league game (2-1 v Falkirk)
