Listen all. I’ll try to answer all of you here. I care deeply about the club and want us to win all games. We play in Man City colours (more so this year) and why not emulate them in terms of challenging for every single competition right? I get that. I want to win it all too and am very competitive in that respect.
This season unlike others we all feel is our best chance to go up. There’s also so much we’ve done to improve things in terms of our infrastructure and setup. We’ve had a great preseason and today was our first game against st a team that is expected to struggle this season. Plus they didn’t have 5 or 6 starters according to Oggy as well. I’m willing to accept the loss if our performance matched what we saw in the preseason in terms of effort, energy, grit and desire. However, I didn’t see any of that today and was very disappointed. Maybe only a few players came away with some credit, but by and large it was below par across the board and Robins said as much and was just as perplexed by that (listen to his post match comments). Granted it’s only 1 game and thankfully there’s 45 more. But we do have some glaring deficiencies in midfield and defence that need to be addressed in this window. That is very evident to almost all of us. Our promotion prospects depend on it.
As for my comments about playing our U-21s , I did clarify that above that it was to blow if steam after today’s result. I want the team to progress in all competitions as far as possible without it derailing our chances for promotion.
Safe travels to those going to the match. PUSB.
