Quote: TheEnforcer273 "Huge missed opportunity due to Batley and York both losing, frustrating.
I do have to question the style of daily social media posts from the club leading up to the game yesterday. Looking at it from a sports psychology background - If you keep telling people that it's going to be a struggle then it likely will become a struggle.
Obviously not the reason we lost but hammering home each day "We have no players, this will be tough". "Our backs are to the wall for this one" etc. does not mentally prepare the players, who do see the posts, for the weekend's game.'"
My thoughts too about the psychological side of the game, did we talk ourselves out of the win? We’ll never know but having players returning next week should help, just a shame we didn’t get the 2 points as that would have evened us up with Batley.
