The defensive schoolboy errors will still be there though

The team looks shell shocked to me, and no wonder considering how this season is panning out. I'm trying (with difficulty) to stay "glass half full" so I'm prepared to view the perceived lack of effort as shattered confidence. Both scenarios are pretty grim, but there may be a chink of light if it's more of a confidence thing. If Richardson can get the team on his side and buy into his ideas then we may see a turnaround in "effort", performance and (hopefully!) results.

Like Brin says, we were trying to pass it around a bit more on Tuesday. Baggies not playing a high press and letting us get on with it certainly helped, but I'd like to see more. It can only help, and we will get better if we persevere.

There's no easy way out of this mess but I can't see any point in spreading gloomy “something rotten in the state of Denmark” conspiracy theories. Try to stay positive. Things could be much worse. Get behind the lads.
