Do you think police talks before games affects player performance?

No, but the Police are having to much of a say in Scottish Football; I might pop into the local Police station and lecture them on their behaviour.

 

No. We bottled it and the Huns got the break of the decisions that day. Thats why we lost.

 

Nothing to do with the police talk, really grasping at straws with that one

 

Nah, no way does this affect the players, none at all

 

I agree. So its a no from me.

 

yes i do think it does , every time this happens we seem to stand off the opposition and not go into tackles that we had been going into previous weeks , i don't know if this is the reason , but in the recent old firm game it looked as if we where scared to go in for a challenge in case it ended up in red cards , we stood off them let them bully us and still got two red cards , we need to play our way

 

IMO the game last week was lost as soon as Cha Du Ri got sent off, which was perhaps a debatable decision but nothing to do with the police. Up until then I felt we were doing ok, and were still very much in the game and only a goal down to what was nothing dubious, just a cracking bit of play by Aluko.

I also think our players have motivation issues and our team lacks a bit of steel. We've lost other crucial games since Lennon's been in charge including Sion, Utrecht, Killie, ICT etc. and I doubt the police were so involved in briefing players in these games.

Although I think we still have by far the strongest squad in the league when the players are on their game, I think it has to be said that we're lacking in the bottle department and need to bring in one or two with a bit of experience. I reckon one or two more experienced players who'll keep going for 90 mins and drive on/keep cool the rest of our younger players when the heads are down/we're holding a lead should be a necessity during the transfer window. Kayal is probably one of our main ones besides Brown but out injured, but I also think we could do with maybe one in defence and one up front for a bit of balance. Mulgrew always gives 100% but doesn't strike me as a player with any influence in the talking department while our main strikers tend to just do their job and keep their traps shut.

 

In that case it would affect players from both sides it just wasnt meant to be that day....

 

It will have some effect but very little. That wasn't our reason for our poor performance.
