But why are these boys all injured? Surely most teams do not have the majority of their defence out injured? I never realised low morale was an injury anyway?
Hey, we're all miserable about our team but one or two positives. We scored TWO goals. We scored those goals playing a higher tempo, slightly more direct game. We have big guys in the team, set pieces should be a tactic that we make more of. For a short period we took the game to the Saints, it may - just may - get across to AT that we can mix it a bit. We have to.
A few people have pointed to our back 4. Three teenagers and the outstanding Richard Keogh. I'm convinced if we'd had just a couple of our senior players in we'd have got a point.
Jordan Willis is another off the Academy conveyor belt. He looked strong for a young kid and not afraid to get forward. He was partly to blame for goals 3 and 4 I know. But yet another prospect.
Sure, kids won't keep us up, the excuse of a board we have will damn us.
I'm a bit long in the tooth for protests but surely a simple printed card SISU OUT held up by all fans at a given point would demonstrate just a bit? I'll gladly pitch in a few quid for printing costs if a few others do.
Other ideas, like everyone remaining under the stands til a couple of minutes into the game might be something. Sure it is a bit inconvenient, we might miss a goal etc. But it is a show of solidarity. It's OUR club.
I don't want to be going to Chesterfield, Rochdale etc next season. Let's get behind the team.
