I think NI is right about the agents. The other issue is the perceived or real lack of effort and commitment to the club shown by some of our own and loan players.
They make it pretty obvious that they either don’t want to be at the club, or have been farmed out because they have no future at their own club. Some will be on higher wages than our better players who are trying. Can’t be great for team spirit.
Yates, Crookes and Toney of the recent ones did put the effort in and looked like they were happy to get game time. Of course we were at the top of league 1 then and provided a better opportunity for players looking to progress.
Some of the more recent ones have played as if they don’t really care or they are here knowing that they will be released by their parent club when their contract is up. Still don’t understand why they are not busting a gut to get a contract with us or impress another club. Probably taking too much notice of their agents.
