SallyCinnamon Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Two play off defeats. Underachieving season last time. No new players to freshen things up. This group of players had their chance. The sooner we start taking some risks, sell players and start again the better, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s6 owl Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 And the one player who isn't mentally weak is currently being treat like s**t, Our wonderful 3rd choice GK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticOwl Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Yup. I was thinking of creating a sports psychology post a few days ago. The club need one!! The players have the ability to win games, but they are defeated in their heads before they even kick a ball. This is why Man United won the league so many times under Fergie. He made them believe they were winners before they even kicked a ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he was told to leave to reduce the wage bill. As he didnt agree, he is being put out in the cold like Hirst was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls2k Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Although technically not the most gifted, losing characters like Semedo and Loovens are huge for the dressing room, they keep the harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it goes wrong I think it makes it even harder for them to take. The chairman basically said last week if we don't go up, we're in trouble. Talk about pressure on a group of players who lack belief and confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 The reason we lost today is because we sold out the away allocation. 3000 Wednesday fans scaring the players senseless. That's why we lost. That's what the owner told me anyway 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morepork Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 There is no mental fortitude in our squad, it's one of our biggest flaws..... When DC tells the fan forum that we have better players than the Blades you can see how little he has learnt. A players character should be the first thing you look at because it doesn't matter how good you are if you don't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarringtonowl Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Marks out of ten for today's starting line up. My honest take on today's performances. Ignored the subs but Fletch and Preston looked OK Penney not on for long Dawson 8 Baker 5 Lees5 Hutchinson 4 Pudil 5 Thorniley 5 Bannon 7 Pelupessy 4 Matias 6 Forestieri 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through complete neglect and mismanagement he's been hung out to dry. Looks completely lost and fed up. God we miss loovens. I'd agree it was the right thing not to renew his contract but that was based on the idea we'd actually replace him! If I'd known we wouldn't I'd have kept him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
