Perhaps if Murphy was not punted around the team to accomodate other players, got decent service, played in his best position, got proper encouragement from our support, and that the fans remembered that he his still a young guy learning the game, then he might produce better performances. It was not that long ago, that he was our only attacking threat.
Young players will blow hot and cold, and will make mistakes. We just better get used to it, as nothing is going to change over night.
Jim, thats what i wa thinking, that perhaps there is a problem between say the board and the players, possibly about bonus win money? Maybe, some of the players know they are aint going to be here next season, and see no point in busting a gut in the league, but will do in the cup, as they can make a name for themselves. In some ways i hope this is the case, as a top six finnish is almost gone, but a wee cup win would be nice.
