Adrian Childs also did a documentary about his drinking called “Drinkers like me” Its from 2018, just googled it and mentions it’s still on BBC iPlayer, that was also a decent watch and may lead into what Stevie B says about about his book

Same problems at the back, slow to react and out of position it’s all schoolboy defending can’t blame confidence it’s basics, they just are not good enough even at this level, and I include Nelson in that, doesn’t matter who the manager is, we still have the same players to choose from. Yes they may be running around a little more since Garys arrival but this defence is going to relegate us. I hope Rowett finds the right formula, but think it’s too little too late with this team. They should all be embarrassed how this season has gone, but they won’t whilst the vast majority are picking up wages they won’t get elsewhere.

Was thinking myself not so much about having Academy players and are unable to sign new players or renewing contracts. But more the fact maybe 2-3 players were going to sign new deals at the end of the season, and now are told they can’t sign due to the sanctions, and now their future may be to look elsewhere, and this may coincide with our drop off in form and not giving 100% and risk injury?

When the season started and Enzo came in he looked fresh and exciting by the plan of getting us straight back up and playing a certain style of football under him. Im sure the change of voices on the training ground and new training schedules mixed with a few players coming in gave everyone a bounce and first half of the season we were well on top. Fast forward to now and it looks like they are over coached, too rigid and an are not playing with smiles on their faces like earlier in the season. Over the last couple of months tho it looks to have gone a stale very fast, which I’m putting down to a few factors that are massively weighing the club down. The Hierarchy of the club being a mixed bag of good people with best interests at heart, hangers on and those who just are not good enough in powerful positions. Unfortunately Top has let too many things spiral out of control, he isn’t really upto the job of running the football club effectively, especially when the pressure is on and BIG decisions need to be made. His father as we know was more ruthless when he needed to be. Certain Players contracts coming to an end and those on top who more than likely know they won’t be here next season which probably equates to a fair amount of the first team squad, so are they now 100 percent committed. Enzo seems now to be at loggerheads with those above him and prob doesn’t feel upto the challenge of a massive rebuild next season regardless of what division we are in, I think he was promised X and being given Y and he isn’t happy and think he is now just running down to the end of the season the spring in his step has well and truly gone. Its no wonder we are starting to crumble and fall apart, it just all looks to be a perfect storm again, the same as last season where everyone can see what’s happening apart from the club, and then are surprised when things don’t go the way they wanted. I don’t really know what last going to happen next season from those at the top/manager/players. I think it’s going to be a thrown together plan as I don’t trust those at the top to get it right, feel we’re going to be in the Champoinship for years to come.

I think complacency is certainly setting in with the players. It’s not the best idea that we only have one style of play, as when it’s not working like tonight, we have zero other ideas. We’re coasting through games and luckily our quality has been seeing us through to top spot so far. It’s ok having possession but 85 percent of it is around the back and into winks and back again. I can see why some of the attacking players get frustrated as they have made runs tonight and we pass sideways/backwards. Some of the chances we are giving away we are going to take some hammerings once we go up as the quality is a million times better…..I’m actually shocked how poor this league is, I dont remember it being this bad. Don’t let our league position cloud judgement we have a massive amount of work still to do on our general play if we’re to be competitive in the Premier League as Burnley are finding out
