Have you seen our goal celebrations recently? Noticed how the whole team is involved in them? Wasn't like that a little while back.

Clearly we're not getting the results we would all hope for but that doesn't prove that there's no morale or team spirit. The ability to fight back from a being goal down is a major indicator of team spirit IMO. When was the last time we went behind and fought back to win the game? Robson's team had infinitely more bouncebackability (apologies for using this dreadful expression). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
