In recent weeks there has been an improvement in effort and endeavour (as there was again last night), the players are now at least looking like they mean it, so we have made progress in that area since the first couple of months of the season.
I think we now have another problem to add to our long list of faults and inadequacies, we have simply forgotten how to win. Huddersfield didn't look that much better than us throughout the game, but apart from the last two minutes I never had the feeling we were going to turn it around.
I reckon these endless defeats have knocked so much stuffing out of the team, that there is now an in-built expectancy that we will ultimately lose in the end. The last three games (London, Cas, Huddersfield) have all been potential wins which have ended in defeats. I think losing has now become an embedded state of mind as much as any of our other myriad deficiencies.
It's one of the major problems teams have when they find themselves in a situation similar to ours right now, how do you break a losing mentality? Not sure that Grix and Cummins have the capabilities to alter that type of mind-set if it is subconsciously buried deep within the players psyche.
