"play-off Blues Are Behind Us"

[richieb]

Following on from an earlier thread.

I have seen that SL is blaming "play-off blues" as a real factor as to why we have made that shaky start.

The good news is that it is now behind us.

Come on Mr Chairman, while I agree that it was a huge disappointment in not getting up last season,lets not get drawn into the fact that this has been a major factor in a poor start to the season.

How about.

- Loss of Scott Murray (biggest contribution last season)

- Trying to replace him with Wilkshire (a central midfielder)

- Believing that Mickey Bell would be the midfield answer

- DW's early season tactics - boring us all to submission

- renewing the Burnell/Doherty partnership,that without the SM outlet was being shown up as negative.

- Leaving Tins on the bench which left no creativity at all in midfield (especially with LW on the wing)

I could go on.

So while there is no doubt the management & players were disappointed at not getting up last season, I think this is a very lame excuse for some Management decisions that should be laid fair & squarely at the Manager & players.

If we had started off with the team selections & style of play we have now, I for one don't think you would be in a position to have to blame 'Play off blues'
