The fact is that as a club we are mentally too weak and fragile. How often do we crumble at the slightest hint of pressure? Its happened for years and is why there is the word "spursy". Its even laughed off after we piss away another lead or lose to the bottom club. Said with a knowing nod and a raise of the eyebrows "just spursy eh?"
Manager after manager, we see the same end product. We are experts of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
We have this excuse every week that may satisfy some by saying "we played well for X number of mins" or "we might have lost but we were the better team" and lastly the worst of all "yeah but against last years results we are a point up!". Bullshit.
All that matters are results and only winners recognise this. The old cliche about good teams playing badly and winning? Its true. But to delude ourselves and say its OK not to win as long as we play well doesn't sit well with me.
I don't doubt poch and he still has my backing, as do ENIC and Levy but the most important signing we could make is someone to make these talented players we have, believe and have some bollocks and fight about them. There's something about the club that turns clearly talented players into an absolute wreck.
The club needs a real kick up the arse and to rid ourselves of this inferiority complex we have. Maybe the quicker Lennon and his massive length leave, the quicker our lads can start being more confident?
