Although the derby games have been worth twelve points this season - four winnable games which, if won, would have seen us go up via the Autos.I agree with Tisdale, when it comes down to it in the cold light of day it's just another game worth three points which are there to be won.
Players should be fired up and "want it" for every fixture and that is the manager's job.
He has not been doing this at all well - we notice this more at derby games because to us they matter more, but the fact is that far too often a good team of talented individuals has not wanted it enough and games that should have been won have not been.
This is why, despite us being comfortably in the play offs, a sizeable proportion of the support feels that this season is a bit crappy
But I agree with the rest of your statement.
