The players confidence is probably shot by a bad start to the league campaign and defeat to Aldershot in the cup match. We need to start the season again, from now, the players need to forget what's gone before and play with pride, passion and belief. It's our first week training at our own proper training ground, we've got a fellow relegation candidate at home on Saturday, and everyone connected with the club needs to raise themselves up like never before.
Now's the time to keep the game simple, stop thinking about the opposition, and just put our best players in their best positions, and have the belief and confidence that we have enough to beat Wycombe and get three vital points. The likes of Trotman etc, who have still to show their potential, have to forget what's gone on already and just show 100% concentration and desire.
October is a critical month for Dale, in which we play a lot of struggling teams, and we need to make the most of our opportunity to play ourselves out of trouble.
On Saturday, the players on the pitch need to raise the crowd, because it won't happen the other way round. If us fans see the effort and desire on the pitch then it will create the vocal backing. We need to get at Wycombe from the off and never let go. We need Eyre to get them fired up, and Jonah to keep that momentum going on the pitch.
Start the season again now, and hopefully in a few months time we'll all be laughing about how bad it once looked. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]
