If at all possible on this particular thread I want to steer away from player criticism because players get picked and do not go onto a pitch with the intention of playing poorly.
And I want to avoid if possible the logical next object of venom, being that of the manager. Simply too easy.
I want to use this thread to try and decipher the code or the enigma that is THFC.
There are some elements that seem apparent. We are a disliked club. Of that I think there is little doubt. From Chelsea through to Leicester there are a few clubs, West Ham being another who seem to despise us, in a way that is sometimes hard to fathom. Does that have an impact? A question..
Then there is this thing called DNA. Maybe there is something within the fibre of the club. Maybe even if there isn't it's enough that it gets talked about amd maybe takes hold in.the players' psyche? Again a question.
Of course we are not the only underachievers. Just 3 competitors per season to win, plus a Euro comp I suppose but we still fall short.
How can that be when we have had the collection of players we have possessed in the last 15 years or so?
So it's a poser. A real weird one because it seems to be a continuum.
