that an 'on loan' player is the one digging deep and trying everything
he can to get the team spirit right. All kudos to Craig by the way but
I cant help thinking why the hell the manager hasn't thought of stuff
like this MONTHS ago.
Just how detached from the players is he??
No doubt in my mind that Craig is determined to drag this club into the PL even if that means some are kicking and screaming behind him, including DJ.
On Saturday even against 10 men DJ still had his 2 banks of 4 dropping off whenever Pompey had the ball. How many times did Craig run back into his own half to tackle Pompey players turn and run straight at them. The problem being DJ had his 2 banks of 4 so deep our midfield were left 40-50 yards behind at times.
We know we have the best attacking players in this league and when we are playing against 10 at home we should use them as this may go down to goal difference. If Craig is influencing things maybe we should send DJ on gardening leave.
