Man FridayHoop BlahMan Friday No no no no no no!!!! Don't you remember the players saying how motivated they were now and enjoying life much more under Nige?
Doesn't mean they can't fail to go into a game with the right attitude or that some of those players who have been left out of the early league games have taken it badly.
No? Personally I would say there's a smidge of a contradiction there.
Within a happy squad there can still be disaffected players and instances where the whole side seemingly underestimate the opposition and then can't turn a performance around.
To be clear, I'm not absolving Adkins of blame for this performance, but under no circumstances should that 11 be bad enough as it sounds they've been. Ultimately that comes down to the players themselves.
