So where do people think the responsibility lies for the mental preparation? How much comes form the coaches and how much is individual responsibility? Ed was on the screen pre game talking about how much negative press NM had this week and how they were going to come out firing etc. So obviously it was talked about. For me if these guys want to be taken seriously as professional athletes, they shouldn't need someone screaming at them every week to run out and give everything, it should just be what they do. Every @#$%&! week. The scars of the last 15 years run pretty deep, it's not a stretch to see today as a result of the players being pretty happy with 2 close losses and a win in the last few weeks and think, yep we're doing ok, we've been respectable for a few weeks, that's good enough.
I think the rot has set in
Losing as often as we do will eventually take its mental toll
We have been in this losing cycle for an extended period which is doing damage to our young player's development
I have the theory that you need a good senior core when rebuilding a young team
We have not had this and are now paying the price
Looking back I think we cut too hard
Problem now is we won't attract a quality FA if we win another wooden spoon (we also don't get the number one pick)
Agree 100%.
We are paying the price for letting go too many senior players for draft picks. The draft picks we received for letting these players go have not come on because they do not have senior players around them.
