If this is being caused by not controlling the PTB, I will take that as a tactical failing of the coach, if not, it is a failing of the conditioner IMO.
IMO it's down to a lack of impact players coming off the bench in a number of games this season meaning we cannot maintain high intensity for 80mins. That can be attributed to injuries, recruitment and selection mistakes depending on the game.

Benidorm. Classy.
However, you being there clearly has not helped YOU get the answers has it?

Try to be calm there McSporran, did I touch a wee nerve there?
I can confirm that I do indeed now have all the answers.
Oh and sorry to be the one to point it out but your sand metaphor, like most of your theories, is based on a popular fallacy and bears no relation to the facts

I thought Macca was pretty honest in this article and despite looking carefully have failed to spot any excuses offered.
I am glad to read that he is to work on mental strength during the off season as that is what I have missed all season. We seem to lack the discipline to really close out a game when we are well in the lead as well as to find a way ti win close games.

Yeah - and he also says this.....

Oh yeah?
Never questioned officials and decisions then? Never bemoaned injuries and bad luck?
Hmm.
