Phil Blundell

And I know it's been asked on shows previously, you know, at the point that we could have reached third, was that important to people?

Whether or not that's important to the fans, I think the manager should have been hitting that home.

I know that third's not a big deal for some people, but that's what we strive for.

Not we're trying to get over the line.

Not we're just trying to get Champions League football here.

It needs to be the highest that we can possibly achieve.

And we were off the back of three or four wins there when he's talking like that.

We could have really went for the jugular and started fighting talk of going for third.

And that's something that the team can grab hold of and feel like they're up for.

It just seems like nobody's really up for it.

I don't like being in the ground watching my football team play and seeing them not want to be there.

It's atrocious.

And because they don't want to be there, none of us want to be there.

So what's the point in being there?

The mentality is shocking and that is something I've got a real worry for because how does he turn that around?

I think it's interesting the heads burnt out thing because although the manager's head's clearly burnt out, I don't think you can let the players know that or the media know that or the fans know that.

He seems quite happy for everyone to know that.

You can tell from his messaging, as Ian touches on, his communication is very weird at times.

There seems to be no responsibility.

It always needs to be kicked down the road or there always needs to be some sort of an excuse.
