I don't think it's just a question of attitude from the players. Obviously they weren't motivated by JFH nor JED towards the end of their tenures and that will always be reflected to some extent in the passion shown on the pitch, but to me that's not enough to explain the HUGE difference in committment between  the JFH and the DA teams.

I think in this case that JFH's constant tinkering and poor and confusing tactics limited players so much in their freedom of movement on the pitch that it actually made them look like they weren't trying. DA has said that they are a good bunch in terms of attitude and he doesn't strike me as one to say that for the sake of it.

In short, I blame this relegation almost entirely on JFH and agree he is probably one of the worst managers we've ever had.

Its difficult to disagree with this BUT I can't help but think that Grimes (particularly when he was on 9 yellows), Van Veen, Long at times, Pierra (definitely) to name but a few could have 'tried harder'. A football team cannot carry 2 or 3 players, and in many months this season we've been carrying a fair few. Bunney for instance I will excuse…totally out of position, confidence was shot to bits because of it etc. But I've seen too many players failing to tackle this season or challenge for the ball and confusion over tactics/roles is not an excuse for that. DA has been sensible about it, he's lifted them back up and ensured that they put in the effort for him. Thats basic management. I wouldn't be inclined to give those players a second chance though and to be fair other than VV the ones involved that Id consider 'fair weather players' are all out of contract/already left/were on loan.
