Anyone who has ever played football at any level will know that when you go on to that pitch for 90 minutes then it's then up to you- the players, a coach can't teach a player not to lose heart or when so many to have an off night all at once as they did in the 7 in Alkmaar or the 9 at home v Celtic.....we'll not in 6 games anyway. If we are 3 or 4 down at HT then what does the coach do?does he call it quits and take off forwards for defenders and risk the wrath of the fans for giving in for damage limitation or does he kind of stick with it in an attempt to claw it back a bit?a rock and a hard place.

IMO the players let the fans down on both those occasions and it must have been so frustrating for JR to sit and watch the comedy defending from the dug out just as it was for us.
