I think everyone needs to cut our players some slack in the * war of attrition no fans never playing a settled side and missing several key players and the fans throughout season
Our lads have reached the levels they did giving their absolute everything in every game for our incredible fans, with their vociferous support
A huge part of our entire ethos for being as brilliant and successful as we have been is Jurgen fully understands the power of our fans and he tapped into that and used it brilliantly and educated all our players to understand and appreciate how brilliant and unique our fans are and to use the power of our fans to inspire them and help them reach higher levels and that to never take it for granted and to give everything they had in every game for those fans.
The pinnacle of everything they do being for the fans should have been lifting No19 after a 30 years wait, an open top bus tour and parade the likes of which had never been seen before, completely eclipsing the celebrations of the No6 homecoming and the following season of stadiums full of those fans even more bouyant and vociferous than ever, belting out their songs and songs of the great team that ended the 30 year wait
Covid and the bungling Tory Gov took all of that away from them, the moment of crowning glory to spur them on to even greater heights has been stolen from them and our brilliant fans
And THAT is what and why we're seeing in so many of the lads being well below their usual exceptional ever increasing standards
