I seriously wonder if Rowett and the team that played today, actually really want to get promoted?
I say this because when push comes to shove, certain players we rely on, seem to go missing at crucial times in crucial matches!
Regardless of whoever was in the starting line up today (but particularly those players like Kief and Burey who have been in and out of the team recently), the entire 11 should have stepped onto that pitch with the determination that nothing else but a win would do, especially if the players truly wanted a shot at the play offs!
Games like today (and the last two games to come), don’t get any bigger, especially when there is £140M riding on getting to the play offs and winning it! Not to mention renewed contracts for many of the players, as well as the financial rewards that come from getting those contracts!
There are a few players in our squad who are, or nearing their late 20s/early 30s: Bart, Murray Wallace, Hutch, Molly, Jed, Leonard, Kief, Sav, Bradshaw and Afobe. Getting to the Prem, even for just one season, would be very lucrative for all of them. Even if we got relegated the following season, the parachute payments would still be paying these players inflated saleries for a couple more seasons!
So why is it, that with all these riches potentially on the horizon, our manager and players aren’t moving Heaven and Earth to get to it?
