We don’t lack effort, can’t fault that, we are where we are in terms of quality in the squad as he obviously can’t bring anyone else in but the one area where we desperately need a boost is in having some confidence and belief, there’s a difference in trying hard and conviction, hopefully we can get a quick win under Manning and it will snowball from there with a fresh voice with some new ideas and a bit more technical nous, the players at the moment though look like they are expecting bad things to happen and a bit resigned to it, which is understandable after 1 point from 10 games and Robinson draining the soul from the club while his supposed boss just looked on.
I actually have a bit more hope after today, the players actually seem up for the fight but are a bit lost and directionless, hopefully Manning can make the difference there.
