[The Red Darreners]

These are young lads learning the ropes- look at the starting line-up today- I dont know exactly but 6 or 7 aged 21 or under? It's an absolute baptism of fire for Leam and we should absolutely get behind him , the staff and the team. Suspensions do not help one bit. The options aren't limitless...
But this is Accrington Stanley-look around you gentlefolk- O' Driscoll, Berg, Mellon...give Leam a chance!!! What's going on in the poisonous world of 'bigclub' football is shameful - We should be setting an example to these clubs and getting right behind our players and staff.
In my view the lads need to keep the ball much better than they are doing-and for longer, something (largely) the same players were doing better earlier in the season.
They need to get a psychologist working on their collective resilience. I felt very sad for them after a massive effort against Bradford trooping back to the spot after Bradford's late winner- their body language spoke volumes. Notwithstanding the inexperience in the team and the management, I feel much more attention needs to be paid than it is to their mental toughness- there seems to be a lot taken for granted out there-perhaps too much on all our parts- so get behind these lads and Leam. He comes accross as deeply committed to the cause- help him-he's earned our support.
If he keeps us up- he'll have done great in my book. Then we can start again.
Two big games coming up- but remember- it will NOT be the end of the world if we lose both- and we must get behind this lot and set an example.

And Happy New Year to one and all from Nirvana
