Since then we have been awful, creating nothing, have players been told they have no future at the club, so have downed tools, something seems to have happened?.

I thought that, too. Literally like the air has been let out of a beach ball.

No.
We had a blip of wins.
It’s that simple isn’t it?

Said the exact same thing at the end of the Bristol City game, and now absolutely convinced.

I can’t understand it. Players like smallbone, Laurent, hoover and even Campbell playing like premier league quality, bartering good sides like Coventry to this absolute pile of wank. It’s like they’re playing with Blind folds on.

It’s like they’re playing with Blind folds on. He overplayed them. And we’ve been shit at home all season. I think it’s that simple. Not rotating players whilst playing such an energy intensive way is just fucking stupid. |

Just made my me reaffirm my original opinion about Neil 4 weeks today I was in NYC and we were sticking 4 past Cov. Life couldnt get much better What has happened since, from a football point of view, is nothing short of shocking  |

He needed to use them to rotate. He left it too late and made it abundantly clear they didn’t have a place. Piss poor man management. |

I just think players ran out of steam. Unfortunately, some of the loanees had barely played before this season and it was inevitable they wouldn’t be fully match conditioned.

The only positive is that we will be a different side next season. AN has a big transfer window ahead of him & we can only hope that he gets it right.

Yep, it's like the half time team talk was " guys, don't bother with the pressing/hassling for the ball no more, you're bonuses have been paid so stand down, chill". |

The opposition remembered how to play against us, sit deep knowing we can't break down teams and wait for us to give them a chance. No coincidence we did better against the top end teams who play a more open game.

Before that game we had a chance, with a good wind to get near the play offs.
That made us stop dead.
If you were a player and you were on loan, or were due to be out of contract or thought you may get sold you wouldnt put it in as much, you'd protect yourself as the risk wouldn't be worth the reward.
Unfortunately, most of our players fall in to that category
