Up until a couple of weeks ago even with so many games still to play we looked odd's on champions.
They say every team has a dip in form, maybe that's what we've experienced these last few games , the upside is, we may have dropped points but we still haven't lost a game.
The downside is, we've looked pedestrian, predictable and tired.
I'm not a professional athlete so can't explain whats happened to a squad that's apparently lost it's "mojo"
Is it that the required physical and mental focus that took us so far ahead of our rivals is now exacting a toll on the players ?
Wouldn't be the first time in recent seasons that we've gone off the boil post the Xmas/New Year fixtures.
I'm screaming and cursing at some of the performances as much as anyone in here .
BUT, instead of slating them I'm thinking ............
Maybe the first team fella's are trying to give it their all but have just mentally and physically run themselves into the ground ?
Despite a marked improvement in the squad, we're still unable to rotate "quality for quality" in key positions
