We been so starved of good football that winning football, becomes good football.
The Leicester game was a great result. Now of a sudden its a good performance.
And yet only a few months ago that same type of performance against Leeds at home was being crucified. The difference being Leicester didn't take their chances, Leeds did.
We say stuff like we didn't have many shots under Foster. Yet it was the same against QPR, Leicester, Stoke & Millwall.
And so whether we stay up or not, l will feel like we been making alot of excuses about our results over the past 5 months. Until we sort out the way we play l feel like we are just short changing ourselves. To not be able to do the basics of defending & passing at Championship level is the reason we are in this situation. Schumacher team had similar issues, he just had a couple of players who added a more clinical edge. It's very small margins.
Come Saturday, the lads will give everything, because they always do, and hopefully we will feel europhic & relieved.
During the build up to Stoke, Millwall & now today for Hull City l keep hearing how training is looking good. Well if it's go good why when we get out the pitch does it look so bad. Its "soundbites". I just look at Argyle & watch them give up possesion or don't do the basic of defending. And often feel its like watching a struggling league one side. Where is the belief instilled in these players from the coaching that they can do the things they try on match days? This goes back to the Ryan Lowe days where it seemed coaching was done by more believing what he was telling you, than making them better players on the grass.
I want us to stay up & will be delighted, but come Saturday evening l will be more interested in the months ahead because that's what will determine our future success. A coach who can build a competent team unit.
