Confidence, composure, cohesion

I'm not having all this "if player X had played instead of Y then blah blah.." its quite simply the lads have no confidence until we're way behind then the "nothing to lose" factor comes into play and we look much better. The integration of the new lads, who all look like they have something to offer (Pinto has pace and a desire to get forward and make things happen, Klose is decent in the air, pretty fast and again tries to make positive passes, and clearly will play through the pain barrier for us)
Its a shame we couldn't have got them in the summer and given them a good 6 weeks of training and friendlies to assimilate them into the squad and team.
As it is, we're firefighting massively and I hope we can galvanise ourselves to beat the buggers around us in the impending must-win games.

I'll leave you cryarse bells with this final thought from Al Swearangen: "Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f**king beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back."
