Exactly.
I dont mind if we lose if the lads have given 100% and played as well as they can, as i`m sure most people dont, its when they turn up and dont seem to play with any passion or idea of what they should be doing that gets people`s backs up.
In the final conference season there was passion and good football to watch, some games we only won through pure determination and grit and guile, Burton springs to mind as it was quite a well balanced game with plenty of effort from both sides and Burton actually at times played some very good football and i thought they probably just edged it, but because the lads never gave up believing they could win, we scored near the death, and took maybe 2 points from the game more than we deserved, but that happened on more than one occassion because the lads gave it their all, its not that we are playing better opposition that we are losing games its because there seems to be no belief from the very outset of a match that they will win, it wouldn`t be so bad if it was just the odd player but it seems to have spread across the entire team, why ?, whats gone wrong with their moral and belief, it`s got to be something thats happening off the pitch, because the fans are still giving it their all and getting behind the lads, but if this lack lustre attitude continues from the players how long will it be before that changes ?, not long, i`m sad to say.
