I don't think the players "played for the gaffer" at all today.
I'll go as far as to say that they played like they wanted him sacked.
Okay, do that when you've got enough points on the board if you want to prove a point - but this is the wrong time to send the club down... and if we did go...
Players are always happy, unified, upbeat and positive.... when the team is winning.
We are not winning (much), so yes - of course some of the players won't be happy. They want to win.
However, if they're such great managers and know the way to play why don't they hang up their boots early...
