What worries me deeply, PP, which I've said elsewhere, is that it is now an ingrained habit (losing) at our club. Breaking through that will require something dramatic (and breaking through means winning games against good sides in good form apply good pressure). Yes, we might win a game or two and feel terrific but the bottom line is that when we meet any reasonable side (or better) that applies pressure we fold... or in modern speak, we go to our default position - chasing clacker. We give up.
The BB message, for whatever reason, is not getting through. How long do we want more of the same? Rest of the year? This year and next?
I like Bolton, and I want him to succeed, but unlike the love of my life Ratten, I have no allegiance to Bolton one way or the other. I simply don't believe after all our recent experiences, that sacking the coach will solve anything.
