Got tickets for 5 of the next 6 games. Really worried about what the home crowds will be though, can't see them going that much above 10K.</p> Think Davey needs to shake things up and drop the hard stand against certain players. If the player is fit and can add quality to the team then they need to included.</p>
The thing is those that haven't been involved all season e.g Johnson and Christensen will be no where near match fitness meaning that we're stuck with the same squad that has been so inept since christmas.
Genuine competition for places could help focus the squad, instead of sending some of the squad to the naughty-corner.
Even if they don't play, wiping the slate clean has got to be better for rallying the whole squad together, rather than leaving a few misfits languishing with nothing to train for and no sense of involvement in our plight.
What I don't get is the comments RE:Christensen. Heard that the guy is always putting in extra sessions at the gym, and on three occasions when I have been in the North Stand prior to the games he is always working out.
The fans can play a big part the more vocal they are the more likely the players are to respond and put in a performance. they will take some lifting after the cup defeat, and injuries to key players exposes gaps in the squad. if we can get something out of the next 2 away games it would set us up for the 3 important home games. Make no mistake, its going to be a rollercoaster finish again. Get behind them.
he'll stick with butterfield on bench for the remainder whats point? we need impact players not give-the-lad-some-experience players, wait til we're safe for that, a la Potter last year.
Motivation? Professional pride apart, why should Johnson and Christiansen bust a gut if they are leaving at the end of the season anyway?
RE: Motivation? Think you could say the same about a lot of the players, suspect they're will be a lot of people moving on regardless of whether we stay up or not.
