It’s a mentality issue, and that’s ultimately down to the manager. He’s obviously not the cause of it, but I’m yet to see the evidence he’s turned it around.
A large of that stems from selecting players who openly don’t want to be here. If Wout Faes is still in your starting lineup every week, what sort of message does that send to the players, the fans? It’s ok to not care about this club? And how might that attitude seep into how the players approach the game?
Where is the self respect and respect for this club? What about the youth who you were seemingly so keen on before we’d kicked a ball Marti? At least they’d be more likely to fight for the shirt.
Our squad isn’t perfect and it has a couple of glaring issues, but it’s still more than good enough to compete at this level and beat the likes of Wrexham and Portsmouth at home. Not happy.
