Well,well, well, what a difference a game makes , as they say , unfortunately in our case for all the wrong reasons.
Yes I thought and hoped we had turned the corner in January and after the Chesterfield match , great EUREKA ...we had or seemed to have done!
I agree with Smobile's assessment over the coming 3 games ....in fact I felt that if we didn't get 3 points after the Plymouth game...which we didn't ,that would be it the dreaded relegation battle is looming....
Well now we have turned a corner....straight into a cul-de-sac...which is heading 1 way!!
I know and understand why everybody loves Leam and he is such a nice guy ...bla, bla , bla, BUT reality is NICE GUYS especially at manager level , don't cut it in this business, My most favourite manager of all time was Cloughie and HE certainly wasn't a nice guy with players...even now , Ferguson,and Wenger aren't nice guys...BUT they DO get results, and think back not too far NO WAY would you say COLEY was a nice manager , but by hell he DID get results!!!
Just taking the last game as a small example, the change of Amond caused SO MUCH disruption to the team,and let's face it , we haven't had a stable defence for quite some time now,so doing what he did, (LEAM) was stupid.
There is a HELL of a lot of work for him to do this month even if we are to survive in this league, I am in agreement with most on this forum that we NEED a LEADER someone to motive ALL the team, which even though I wasn't a great fan of Proccie, he DID manage to do however he also had the support of Winnard , and Hessey, who were both very vocal, and that is good for a team, it shows commitment, and desire....
the present captain Joyce does not seem to generate any motivation or leadership so Winnard at least should be made captain and GET the shirkers in the side to WORK..
If I were Leam I'd get ALL the team who Played (except Belford...poor guy) to go to watch how Morecambe cope with the Daggers...it's free,
and would be worthwhile to see what a difference it is!!!
Once again like Smobile says, I think this month WILL determine our fate...
