Something has happened behind the scenes. How else can you explain the sudden lack of effort.
Sure confidence has been dented but the players are not running on or off the ball. The live wire Said has stopped smiling and everything seems flat.
In flashes we have seen what they are capable off but overall theres a sniff of disinterest.
Is the dressing room split?
Jens obviously scared the shit out of players and they dared not do what was asked. By all accounts Alfred is different. So who is kicking backsides and demanding maximum effort. Is that whats missing and players like JT and Longelo are going threw the motions, stinking the place out and causing issues.
We know we lack leadership on the park, but off it there is no excuses for someone not standing up to any nonsence.
The board need to be having a look at what is going on.
We all want Alfred to succeed but its getting harder for him by each passing game.
