The post match comments of JFH probably have very little to do with either the game or addressing the supporters. I believe the majority of what’s said is for the benefit of the squad and with one if not both eyes on the next match. When you think about it, it’s easy to understand why. Once Jimmy gets in front of the mic the Bury game’s gone, surely all that matters at that point is affecting the mentality of the squad? So what does he do berate them or try and build confidence? All I am trying to point out is that I wouldn’t be too hard on Jimmy for not being totally realistic in his comments to the press, their are more things at stake than total honesty? On a separate note, other than the obvious wide player, striker and please god experienced leader on the pitch, what we also need is fit JJ. We are a different side with him, and can I also suggest that many other sides would also be affected, possibly severely, by losing their most influential player? Especially when the squad has the shortcomings of ours?
It’s clear that JFH was protecting his players and creating a siege mentality amongst his group .
However , it’s not a good idea to patronise supporters and tell them something is white when it’s black .
All he had to ask for was patience and understanding .
The booing was blown out of proportion and shouldn’t have been mentioned .
We were terrible on Saturday and have been for a while at home . He shouldn’t pretend otherwise .
