We're suffering from the Australian flu and therefore neither my sons or I was there tonight.
I'm sure that the players are to some extent following game plans that they don't have any faith in and are perhaps less stupid than it would appear. Are they actually now trying to free themselves of the tactical shackles that Stam imposes on them by deliberately not taking responsibility on the pitch? Refusing to throw the kitchen sink when 0-2 down at home against bottom of the table even when the manager has urged the centre back forward seems too suggest they want to have the style discredited to the point that there is a change of manager. Jaap may be calm (and feel it wasn't appalling when talking toTim D) but i bet he tears some of those players to shreds of they go off plan. They've stopped playing for him and are serving up a parody of possession football.
How about player manager? Mick Gooding? Any kind of passion is better than this turgid stuff. With the money that's been spent on players and a decent academy the team should be performing better.
It's not just about winning more games, though heaven knows we need to, it's about the desire. They connection with the fans is almost totally broken and the only way to go is change. Jaap keeps saying it's about choices, bigging up the opposition and such but he doesn't seem able to accept that the heart isn't there.
There is only one decision to take and that's get someone who cares more. What a tragic day it was when Sir John sold his controlling shares. He was a fan. He cared.
So do i!
