That whole notion was all talk spun by ross and donald. We never had such players while ross was here. We all wanted to think we had them and sd played to that dynamic
I remember there were plenty of people posting on here after games saying how pleased they were with effort commitment and desire
they need to watch a video of the Tranmere game and early last season and play that way, surely they can turn it around.
Remember me dad saying tail end of last season when Ross, and pretty much Ross only, was getting all the stick for the draws and it's all his fault etc. He was constantly saying our players just aren't good enough and this is what he's got to work with as our recruitment team haven't got a clue. Brought it up on SMB a few times and got pelters, with them saying it was all down to Ross. Seems the penny has dropped.
The sentiments in the OP are all very admirable. The only flaw is, that to get rid of them, someone else is going to have to want them.
That's it in a nutshell mate. I think we're only a couple of bad performances away from "You're not fit to wear the shirt" rearing it's head. Our fans have been extremely patient with this lot, They can stomach players just not being good enough, but they can't abide players not putting the effort in, which has been the case in the last 3 games.These players need to be removed, as they're upsetting the applecart.
I think there's a problem with some of the players attitudes mate. Those in the Ross clan have stopped playing. Wouldn't surprise me to hear that the dressing room was divided.
I would not want to get rid of any of them unless we had a suitable replacement that was going to be an improvement , unfortunately that should not be as difficult as it may seem on current performance levels . I agree it is the wrong time to be making wholesale changes but the level of performance over recent weeks indicates a major problem , could it be the Jack Ross sacking as he was very popular with the players . Whatever it is we need to react quickly or it is going to be a long hard winter , better to do something rather than sitting on our hands and hoping things improve . You quote Charlton last year so it shows what can be achieved
As someone has mentioned, I think some of the players were close to Ross, and haven't taken too kindly to his dismissal. These players may well join him in January, if he lands either the Hearts or Hibs job. More than ever, we need players who want to sweat blood for this club. These petulant twats we don't need.
I'm not ashamed but the team should be. I'm just ****ing hurt and disappointed as usual - the hurt and disappointment are like SAFC - just habits that I can't shake off though even if I wanted too.
Where do we go from here , does the manager have a plan as it appears that he has totally lost the dressing room . The players with few exceptions are going through the motions to the point it’s disgusting , it has been obvious that a lot of them are not up to the standard but at least they put in the effort , now that has gone we are in for a long hard winter . What team can he put out against Coventry that will be a difficult game , this game could be a watershed for the club particularly if things go badly , the fans are on the point of turning and despite Phil Parkinson only been here a short while he has presided on the worst run of form we have had in this division . Please tell me I’m over reacting as the decline I find to be unbelievable .
