Did you see the game yesterday?

Looking at the highlights on Raith TV - which admittedly can be miss leading - we did not look as bad as everyone is saying. Lots of Lennon's talk is to get the players up for Wednesday I think.
I don't think lack of enthusiasm...lack of energy..lack of will to win and go that bit extra for your team and mates is anything to do with a manager.
That comes from within the player and for some strange reason in certain games the players switch off it has happened under lots of managers.
So we need to assume we don't have enough players with the right attitude

Well I hope Lennon's outburst does the trick on Wednesday because whatever he said before Saturday didn't work.
Very misleading then because I sat through every minute of it and it was a disgrace.
These players have been dining out on the cup win for far too long now and give the impression that they think all they need to do is turn up because they beat top league opposition last year. It's not good enough and it's disrespectful. Lennon was quite right in reminding them that they've failed several times to get out of this league.
It's not a tactical issue, it's these laddies believing their own hype and needing a reality check.
If I put in below standard performances at my work I would get my ass booted by my manager and rightly so, IMO opinion we have been crying out for a manager who won't accept standards dropping, its our third year in the second tier of Scottish football and a fourth is just unthinkable.
For me Leanne and the board made a very shrewd move when they appointed Nell Lennon, in the January transfer window he was in for players IMO of the caliber of Commons or Stokes, not an easy task when your in the championship but it seems like he has said right if I cant get a player of that caliber I'll go with what I have, compare this to our ugly neighbors who made nine signings in the window that takes a lot out there budget
This means if were up next season, were there with something in the kitty to strengthen the squad, Lennon for me is the right man to get us out this division and I believe he would do a lot better than his predecessor's who fought relegation for seven years before we eventually went down, Neil Lennon is the right man for me and he was right on the money with what he said, its time to get behind him.
Mostly agreeing with this, but our relegation struggles started when we appointed Calderwood during 2010-11 season. Just for accuracy sakes, it should be highlighted that we were relegated in 2013-14 season. Seven years ago we finished 4th and were comfortably mid table for a good few seasons before that. Our demise was rapid and should have been avoided. The man in charge was Rod and although we have moved on, I still find it hard to forgive and continue to dislike the fact that he remains at the club.
While you are correct, i would say that the hollowing out of thr club, and the downward trajectory we found ourselves on can ne traced back to that period. Apart from half a season under yogi, and a couple of promising months under fenlon, we seemed to get steadily worse.
Onviously the calamitous reigns of calderwood and butcher accelerated it!
