To my mind there seems to be a lot of unrest among the players, lackluster performances,heads go down way too easily,silly bookings and a complete breakdown of communication at vital times in the match.

JC continually haranguing the officials, heated arguments in the dugout with JB ( they are usually pretty 'pally' ), His apparent total lack of tactical awareness/play, other employees of the club being petulant by throwing footballs on the pitch, and players who are substituted throwing their bibs at the dugout. Add to that McEvily's disgusting stamping incident and red card.........(Im not going to include Branchy's 2nd yellow as from where I was standing the opposition player dived,sorry 'simulated' and the assistant ref got it wrong)............and perhaps you can see where I'm coming from.

I genuinely hope that I'm 'barking up the wrong tree', but thoughts anyone?

I would just remind you guys that in my original post I didnt say JC HAD lost the dressing room, I mearly posed the question and opened the debate, and quite a debate it has been.............I have certainly found 99% of the posts to be very interesting reading (with the exception of Poppy............nothing new there then! ).

But getting back to todays result, once again I would like to say well done the reds...................More please;)
