Not sure whether I'd qualify for PT or NT, but the quite clear positive from this week and last is that on the evidence of the first half of each match we have a decent competitive team who can well outplay other teams in the league.

The quite clear negative is that they are not doing it for 80 minutes. This probably comes down to the coach and/or the captain in as much as they set the gameplan, strategy, mood, etc. Or alternatively it's just fitness which is also the responsibility of the coach

What we have at the moment is not irredeemably broken but something fundamental has to change to fix it.

I'm also quite positive about our away strip which I think is quite smart.

The coach didn't make that last 40 mins happen. But the buck has to stop somewhere doesn't it?
It looks like a mental thing to me. We seem to crumble. I hope the win two weeks ago would have put that to bed. But oh no....

The buck stops with the coach, I've read peoples post's about how he's not responsible for this that and the other, he IS responsible for the team, the performances and results.

I think the time is right for a change at the top.

OK. Just thought of a positive.
We will have two hours more rest than Leeds before nex Friday's game. Of course I haven't taken into account the time difference and the jetlag.
