Only real point of note from today is the obvious lack of effort demonstrated by some for whom today was a rare opportunity to show what, if any, value they might have to the squad. Whenever called upon, effort should never be in question. If it is, game over.
Our success over the last several years has been down to a collective siege mentality looking to disrupt the league’s status quo. This is predicated upon spirit and desire. The remainder of our games do matter in terms of reinstating this as the club’s ethos, culture and driving force. The run in will contribute to this being our approach for next season. If we fail to use this opportunity to rediscover and develop this as our core identity, I fear for next season and those beyond.
It’s time to find out who we are and who wants in.
