It's important in my role not to be too soft. They are not robots but human beings. Of course we sense the mood. But not one player knocked on my door that he wants to leave.

We had conversations with loan players which is normally a good sign. I think the players feel that trust and backing. Hoepfully one day we can be club legends and get promoted to the Premier League. I know we can write a little bit of history.

On the subs? Well the decisions we make is always for the beneift of the club. We don;t give gifts away to keep everyone happy.

We have a great team spirit and togetherness. We don;t do this by just being nice and gentle - they are pro footballers and are sued to playing in an competitive environment.

If you deliver performances... and play well, make the right decisions and go through the door to make performances. If not, then maybe you won't play the next game.
There is the thought that after a great victory then the mood must be buzzing but there is historical evidence that after a period of elation comes one of depression and defeat... Churchill wins the war but loses the general election type of thing.

Players may have expected reinforcements in the transfer window, not fearing for their places, but looking for some sort of commitment from the owners, they may feel deflated.

Coventry are in the rise pushing for a play off place so I am equivocal as to the result.

after beating Norwich 7-0 at Stamford bridge Chelsea went on to beat Newcastle 3-0 in the next game. Just saying!!!

It could go either way, hoping for a win to send Lampard home crying.

If Amps is sitting in midfield I am pretty certain Firpo starts. If Struijk is not ready, DF may resort to a more defensive option at LB - Byram.

Not a huge issue tbh.

It's called tactical rotation to suit the opposition we are up against. :tup:

Must be Paramount+ in USofA land, can’t find it on here. Looks like I’ll be moving to France or Portugal tonight & watching on LUTV.

We'll possibly lose the forward runs of Rothwell, who was excellent vs Cardiff.
