Secondly, as to ‘tiredness’ being a factor in the abysmal performances of late, it seems reasonable to assume that it takes more effort to kick a ball to a great height as to that rolling it around at ground level .. whither ‘ the passing game ‘ ?.
Thirdly, and I don’t want to overuse the expression ‘ unfit for purpose ‘, but yesterday afternoon at least three of the team who started the game of were introduced as substitutes did not appear to have the basic skills or tactical awareness to play at Football League level !.. and I can’t be the only one to spot and realize these shortcomings !.

Gosh !.. here I go prophet of dooming again ?..BUT..
Some food for thought there my good friend

On the other hand, I feel that some may take offence at your comments

Hope to see you in the flesh - not literally of course - soon
