You can’t keep blaming lack of fitness, lack of tactical nous etc. They’re professional footballers for crying out loud.
Not going to name names, but it’s quite obvious some of them would rather be sat at home watching I’m a Celebrity than playing their heart out for the shirt. I don’t give a toss what Mickey Mouse trophy it is.
Dempster is quite clearly out of his depth but he seems to be taking all of the flak for this team of uninspiring, whiny bottle jobs. It’s about time someone held them to account.

Some that I think need to go might shock a few, but some of our better players have achieved nothing and are now costing us games.
Bishop, past it.
Benning, shadow of his former self
Pearce, a goal waiting to happen and fora captain hardly takes charge.
Macca, not in his prime anymore. Can't play on the wing anymore and certainly not a centre mid.
OSJ, can't perform in the league.
Dapo, seems to have gone anway

Yes, some of the players have let themselves down, but it all stems from poor leadership.

Some of those players have been our best players for the last 2-3 years and either they have all suddenly become bad eggs or there is a problem with motivation, leadership and tactics.
Stop giving them excuses. The management team are responsible.

I would not let Pearce go.
Completely accept that his performances haven’t been at his usual high standard, but I think that can be said for the majority of the back line. I don’t think the coaching has been at all good for the defensive unit this season..despite having played together for over a year they all look like they’ve never seen each other at times, whereas under the past 2 regimes they were very well drilled and we saw the best of Pearce.
He’s been a rock for 2 seasons, and been out of sorts under a hopeless manager...If a new gaffer came in I would back him to get back to his old self. I’d stick by him.

good players don’t become bad players overnight, our defence was arguably the best in the league last year what’s changed for me tactics and manager not really rocket science is it?
