‘These players don’t care’

[banksy1art]

Keep hearing/ reading this and sorry but it’s just wrong.

I can’t think of one player that looks like they don’t care.. maybe Wesley and Johnson but they aren’t even making the squad.

Yes they aren’t the best players we’ve ever had but they are giving everything in recent weeks imo so we need to stop slagging them off, keep getting behind them and let’s get over the line

Your thoughts please…

[Gods]

I think they all care.

I'm not sure that's quite the same as being willing to lay down your life and die for the cause.

Which is what people are really asking for, from everyone.

[scfcbiancorossi]

It's hard to know whether they care or whether they are really that bad. Either way, the fans have been incredible as ever this season and any justified slagging off has largely been confined to the end of the match. The players should be grateful to be playing for a club with such exceptional support.

[wakefieldstokie]

They care, but only in the same manner that I care about washing my car, I’ll wash it but I’m not arsed if it stays dirty.

[thehartshillbadger]

I’m sure they care but that’s not enough. They lack a real desire to give 100%. In football when you give even 95% it’s not enough. That’s what separates the good from the average. We have a team of 95 percenters

[lordb]

Nah

They care, they are just a young team in a disjointed squad with little leadership and lacking in quality

They lack confidence too

[GrahamHyde]

They care, they're just garbage in the main and don't resemble a cohesive team at all.

The fans have been incredible given the shit we've been served up this past 7 years.

[suck_the_mop.]

They care just struggling in a poor disjointed team that has no spine and leadership, if we can survive and super jon and Schumacher can identify the players we need i.e the stoke DNA then the majority of these players will be half decent in this league and would be ok.

Johnson always looked a trier just always passed back or sideways and at the back end of his career, wouldn't label him as don't care and I'm not his biggest fan.

[benjaminbiscuit]

They care but they aren’t very good as a team that’s the issue some are just poor footballers others suffer from not being in a  team with the right steel through it .

[canadianmoose]

Our entire midfield looked more scared of getting hurt than anything else yesterday. That appears to be the number one priority.

[xchpotter]

I think how much they care or effort they put in is at their discretion. They still get paid and know there is always another club somewhere else. It’s no different to any other footballer I guess, just that we’ve seen it for so long with different footballers it just begs the question why does it keep happening.

[franklin]

I'm sure they care ro a degree they just aren't very good and lack imho desire and courage. Unfortunately circumstances (fear of the drop) have held them back they are scared to play.

[sportsman]

Looking at the celebration from players and subs when that equalise went in I’d say they certainly do

[y_oh_y_delilah]

Of course they bloody care.
Let’s just move on from this stupidity 😡

[mrnovember]

I don't know how you would measure it. Community involvement maybe?

As fans we just need them to give thier absolute all on the pitch. I think this side has come close, with one or two exceptions. What has frustrated me is that SS derailed his own relatively positive start with these players. As evidenced by performances in the last few weeks, they can play.

[questionable]

They care to a certain degree but when a team is thrown together in a matter of weeks with critical positions insanely ignored for an entire season they must be well fed up as we all are.

Thr club has been ran appallingly for 6 years or so now and we’re paying the price.

[werrington]

Of course they fuckin care

It’s their careers ffs

[theonlooker]

They care up to a point. Most of them would still get a decent move in the summer if we went down.

There are players in this team though that clearly have their minds on summer bosman moves. It isn't hard to work out who they are.

[rowleyscfc]

I think they definitely care, just don't think they're very good alot of them.

[Ron]

They didn’t look like they cared on Wednesday at Swansea.

However, think most of them sort of do, not convinced mind.

The fact is they’re just a shit football team and deserve to go down.

It’s arguably not the individuals faults they’ve been assembled in such a haphazard and ill thought way.

I’ve worked with a few Herbert’s over the years mate who don’t give a damn

[Staffsoatcake]

Some of them care,others only care about their pay cheques.

[middleoftheboothen]

I do think they care as if not they wouldn't have made it as professional footballers. Having the players who can grab a game by the scruff of the neck is what we have lacked and I don't think it's through lack of trying, I just think some of them aren't good enough for this league unfortunately.

[skip]

I don't know what some fans expect them to do to demonstrate their undying commitment to the cause. Have a pot bank tattooed on their arse cheek?

Of course they care, even if it is about their careers and bank balances more than pride in the club.

The trouble is that the majority of the squad were sold the dream of promotion and they've ended up in a massive relegation scrap (lots of reasons why) and it's no surprise they play with confidence one week and shock the next.

We've just got to continue to support them to get them over the line, fourth bottom or higher. That's all there is to it.

I think they care upto a point but far too many of them are massive fannies who need an injection of bravery and nasty. Look at Laurent he has all the physical attributes to be a wrecking ball of a deep lying midfielder but he refuses to wield them effectively. Don’t even ask me who’s told successive managers he’s any sort of a creative force to be playing an advanced role. The squad generally lacks guts.

[jm]

100% they care. Its such a competitive league with unpredictable results - only Rotherham deserve to go down this season.

[jesusmcmuffin]

Possibly the most passionate goal celebration have seen in years

Odd way not to care

Isn’t that the problem there’s more aggression in many of their goal celebrations than their play.

[LGH87]

Look at the celebrations for the goal on Saturday, the subs and everyone going mental with the fans.

They care, they're just a bit crap.
