It`s an interesting question,but basically we`re not really built for the Championship(at the minute).
However,when LR came in we weren`t that far behind,I think 3 behind Wednesday,and maybe 8 from safety,which sounds a lot in the real world,but with over half a season to go,it was catchable,but all we`ve done is get further and further behind,and I must say since he came in I don`t remember must positivity,or rallying of the troups,even if you think you`re doomed,you must spout possitivity to the media and the fans,I can`t recall must of that.
Richardson`s thinking,from what I`ve seen is quite negative,don`t get hammered every game,I`m guessing he`s trying to make the best of a bad hand he`s been dealt,but we would have never survived with that mindset,and guess what....we haven`t !
I mean it`s quite likely we would gone down anyway,from the position we were in,but I would have loved us to have given it more of a go.
