Too much sentiment contract wise in that team too many who were given another few years just because they have always been there, and everyone know that security in sport breeds complacency.
That was a humiliation, the third this season already, our end of season form has been transferred to the beginning of the season and once again as far as the club is concerned the tail is wagging the dog. Rovers have bïlt a team over the last 4 years or so whilst we have hung onto players, rewarded loyalty and showed too much sentiment and in fact gone backwards. We'll get a load of valiant in defence and hard working skits again this week but there is now really only one answer and I don't know how financially or player availability wise we can have a clear out mid season. No one has ever had one of the magnitude that we need mid campaign but at the fc at present never has spare the rod and spoil the child been so appropriate.
Sure there was some effort there but the lack of pace, the dumb rugby, poor end of sets and body language says it all for me. We'll always support them and will always be behind them and with that we as fans lead by example because that's what we do whatever is going on on the pitch , its just a pity that we don't see the same commitment and dedication reflected on the field .
