    Have we a team of poor players who are in fact performing to the best of their abilities.
    Or have we a team of good players who are consistently under performing.
    If the latter why are they under-performing.

    to be honest I'm a fan of Hassell - but you're not answering the question - why are they underporming with worrying consistency? Cheers.

    It's true

    He blamed Hassell for the goal we let in against man city and claimed that Hassell was stood with his arm in the air appealing for offside while the ball was in play. When video evidence was offered to him proving that Hassell was in fact NOT doing as was described and was actually running towards the ball at all times until after the ref had gone into the back of the net tyrone refused to acknowledge it despite being asked to about 10 times

    they have to be moved on zetland. we changed the manager too late

    and he is stuck with a load of crap. i can see a team with 5 or 6 loan players in it from now until january.
    that's how blackpool did it last season.

    No-one was banging our door down during the summer to buy any of them, so Robins has a job on with silk purses and sow's ears.

    stronger leadership on the pitch?

    Maybe they are not arrogant enough. I'm not a fan of arrogance, but it seems to be an asset in some footballers.
    If Davey has picked a bunch of skillful footballers who are also nice blokes, maybe that contributes to them being afraid of being singled out by the crowd for mistakes. That might explain the difference in their performance in training versus on matchday. Its basically some kind of stage fright.

    I'm not sure how you fix it.
    Maybe stronger leadership on the pitch - we need to find a Steven Gerrard who never stops believing he's going to win - a new Neil Redfearn!
