Can I change my prediction in play?!
It’s my first game in a while and the crowd and the sun got the better of my judgement.
Our goal was well worked, there has been some moments of decent play but the final ball is lacking.
Ultimately this team is still bereft in confidence and suffering a hangover of the Clarke / Johnson era.
It was my hope that the shock departure of the above would serve as a ‘reset’ and a catalyst for a shift in attitude and conviction, but on the merits on the first half I’d observe the fire is not there yet.
We really lack the do or die mentality which I believe is what the fans are looking for right now. We need a vocal leader on the pitch who will rally the team when the heads go down.
It wasn’t a disastrous first half, but a soft goal conceded to throw away our lead going into half time and the reaction of the players illustrates the lack of belief right now.
Let’s hope for an inspired performance and victory shooting towards our fans in the second half.
