The old adage that you can not coach effort & determination has never been more true you either have pride in those things as an individual or you don’t. The majority of these players do not have any determination nor are they seemingly that bothered in regards to effort. Maybe part of the problem has been since winning the CC at Wembley they have believed their own hype and had their egos massaged by Radford, AP and Clarke enabling a poor culture evolve and grow.

As much as it will be difficult to shift any of these under performing lazy players it’s something that’s needs doing as a matter of urgency to remove the stench that is stinking out this club.

Smith as has been mentioned is likely experimenting to try and get improvement out the turds but much like rolling one in glitter it is still ultimately a turd. Think Smiths laid back style is being tested to its limits and the cancellation of time off shows his patience has worn thin with them. What is a surprise is this is the first time I can remember the players actually have a consequence for their so called efforts.

All we as fans ask for and want to see is a team play with effort & pride something that this bunch lack in barrow loads.



AP & Smith need to act quickly and cut a couple of players to try and give kick up the s to the rest, though even that probably wouldn’t bother some who have downed tools until their contracts run out.

I scroll through the long ones.

I've got Keef on ignore, it saves me seeing .

Just back from a few days away ... Not much on the highlights reel then

Can someone please tell the posters not to quote Dobbins posts, they’re all on my foes list but if you “quote” I still see it, NUMPTIES.

Or not? I'm sure Billy-Keith can explain.
