I can't help but notice a slight discord developing amongst us, ( The support ). There has been much comment about the booing, for example, after yesterday's game. Our seats are in the main stand, and, in truth, I can't say there were any folk in our immediate vicinity booing the team. It would, of course, be equally true to say there wasn't one among us who was happy at witnessing such a poor showing from our Bhoys; particularly on our very own potato field.
I'll never boo or abuse any player wearing our jersey. I've always been reluctant to single out individuals for being, in my opinion, not good enough to wear that jersey. However, there comes a time when we have to call things as we see them. Only my thoughts folks; but right now our squad lacks the quality to cover for injuries or players lost to international duties etc.
As we witnessed yesterday, it only take our better players to suffer a dip in form and our limitations are exposed by opposition players who are prepared to dig in and graft. I'm not a witch-hunt, I want every player who pulls our jersey over his/her head to do both themselves and our club justice.
There's a feeling of deja vu swirling around in my head. The number of less than welcome performances make it impossible for me just to dismiss as minor blip.
Nor do I take solace from the fact that many of us think we'll be fine simply because sevco are mince. Complacency, once again, seems to be the order of then day.
I guess we'll just have to hope at the end of the season we proved to be a wee bit less mince than them.
