Do our players like each other?

Technically I'd say we've got a good team, comfortable in possession and we have the ability to ping the ball about quite nicely.

The problem I see is we've got a squad which generally haven't gelled, they don't appear to be willing to fight for each other or really have much connection as a group rather than the fact they've been thrown together when signing for our great club.

As fans of this club we're not particularly a picky bunch, we want to see players fighting for the shirt, proud to play for the club, none of which we're currently seeing.

We need to trim the squad, get a tighter knit squad, I'd rather us spend money on paying off players contracts and getting rid of some of Cloughs deadwood, I truly think this would have a positive effect on the team and at least create some commradary in the team.

I noticed in the second half on Saturday that Basham chased one of their strikers down to the corner of Kop and South stand, with Collins also coming across as well, resulting in our throw.

Collins seemed to have a go at Basham and Basham just ignored him, walking away, shaking his head. Harris then picked up the ball, Basham back in position, Collins stood around down near the throw, but offered nothing, Harris then shook his head that nobody seemed to want the ball. Bit of a strange couple of minutes and i thought then that the two centre halves didn't seem to get on.

It sounds like nobody is particularly keen on Collins.
 
The players don't care?

And yet look at how they recovered when Southend broke second half Satdi. We were pressing and hugely outnumbered looked like 5v2 in our half at one point. By the time they got the shot off we had five outfield players Collins, Adams (well done!) Freeman (who'd lost the ball on the edge of their box - and run the length of the pitch to recover), Collins, Basham, and Hammond behind the ball. Bob wasn't far behind - he'd missed a recovery tackle on halfway. This is after recovering from 2-0 down to 2-2 and going on to hit the post three times in fifteen minutes - or whatever it was.

Coutts laboured - and is probably just arriving now.

If seen plenty of United teams who didn't care. This isn't one of them.
