The season has faded into a another season of disappointment and I don't believe we should expect to see much of an improvement. Malky's high intensity training sessions may be the cause of the level of the performance as the players are being worked so hard in training that there is nothing left when it comes to the matches. I can understand this for pre-season but after nearly 40 leagues games (and the cup runs), surely this can be reduced as Match fitness shouldn't be a problem?

Don't expect us to get more than about 10 points from our last fixtures.
