Andy Leese has been removed from his job for not being able to do it very well. But, as we know, Managers can only do so much. Once the players cross the white line there's little Managers can do. That goes doubly so for Leese.
The players this season have been very poor. No if's or but's. We've been rubbish at the back, rubbish in midfield and, yes, rubbish at front. They have not played two good halves of football back-to-back. There has been no leadership, little communication and scant effort. The players all look half as fit as the players we have played against. Personally, and more disappointingly, I don't think I'd be bothered if ANY of them left, and I cannot recall ever thinking that in previous seasons, no matter how dire things got.
I can't believe any of our players could put their hands on hearts and say they've given their all this season. They have looked unfit, under-prepared and often, unforgivably, uninterested.
This is all the more annoying as a lot of them are easily good enough for this level. They are not world-beaters, but they should at least be Barwell-beaters. Most of them will still be here under the next manager so we can only hope the new man (or woman...!) can wring the missing 20% out of each of them that a good manager, or even professional pride should bring forward.
You've let us and yourselves down so far this season. But, unlike Leese, you have the chance to redeem yourself. If you do - great. If you think you've done your absolute best so far this season I'd strongly suggest you follow your ex-gaffer out of the door because you haven't.
