Maybe im just getting old and too jaundiced, but these media platitudes mean nothing to me anymore. Ive seen us lose too often and for too long.

I hope this squad and MM are truly appreciating the gravity of our situation as we all are. Running out of time and need points not talk.

I have long felt the same way. In fact,, there seems to be a correlation between the intensity of such positive platitudes and then a poor performance and a loss.

Much rather the talking is done on the pitch through performance and results. Talk, as they say, is cheap.

It's not an easy balancing trick for the players when approached by press. They don't want to be seen to be unapproachable or unprofessional and do have an element of duty to provide interviews and comment. Their hands are pretty much tied as to what they can come out with!!!
Can't disagree with both your thoughts though. It becomes all a bit predictable and meaningless in our circumstances. Probably if we were in play off places it would be far more entertaining

Agreed stop all the old flannel,just pointless(excuse the pun) guff.

I think there's no harm in all of this as long as fans understand that what players and managers say in the press mean very little in the overall scheme of things.

Let's not forget that for a lot of older fans, they are not comfortable with the internet and still rely on a newspaper to get their Blues news, and for some it is something to look forward to even if it doesn't mean a lot.

Yeah no harm in it at all. Just getting a bit concerned with players saying we'll be ok etc, we are not ok we are deep in the **** and need to acknowlege that before its too late.

The like i say lads done good, rub of the green, worked their socks off spiel isnt good enough.
