The thing is, we are now already back in that spiral, back in the mire.
September was barely over when the manager acknowledged that the clubs ambition is just to avoid relegation.
The mind set at the club was therefore established.
Basically, the players have been told we are in the shit. They now can't possibly play with confidence,flair, belief and freedom.
They are already playing with nervousnous, fear and, to some extents, resignation.
They are already approaching every game as another critical game that we can't afford to lose.
So, no one wants to take responsibility, no one wants to the one who fucks up and gives a goal away.
This has come from the way the club is run and managed.
Not only are us fans being 'managed' by having low expectations, but so are the players.
And it's only fucking October.
