Easy when you have five matches to go and everyone believes that you are already down to 'go for it'. A free shot to nothing.
Totally disagree and shows in my opinion a complete misunderstanding the psychology of managing footballers - if they believe they are down why the hell would they work their socks off and perhaps more significantly (before the old playing for a contract with another club chestnut) comes out - getting stuck in where they might get hurt.
Sure only one game but the change of attitude was palpable and even managed to lift the crowd to a good vocal level of support.
