The ‘must-win’ game wasn’t won. So what happens now? Robson said there could be no excuses if we didn’t win this game.
He’d changed his tune a little by the time Radio Sheffield interviewed him after the game declaring himself pleased with the performance. He made a lot of the fact that Preston had offered little goal threat conveniently forgetting that we had managed only one real shot on goal other than the penalty.
I thought the crowd were almost willing a good performance out of the team, the applause after a Cahill pass with the outside of his foot in the first half didn’t come from a crowd willing the team to lose. By full-time the mood had changed though. There was no mass protest and only sporadic Robson Out chants. Instead what enveloped the ground was a resignation that we are a team going nowhere until there is a change at the top. Even the fans who were still backing Robson seemed to have realised their mistake, the bloke who sits next to me shook his head sadly at the end and said ‘He was my hero’. Those who revered him as a great player are quickly having those memories tarnished as he continues to bring our club to its knees.
Hopefully this sad period in our history will come to a close this week. It is very difficult to wish defeat on the team we all love but in this case, a Leicester victory might be for the greater good.
