Pressure, tension, nerves, mental tiredness all come in to play and you don't need to be a football manager to realise that. All those things either on their own or all together will have an effect on a sportsman's performance. Frankly, I think all of those things have affected particularly the young players, but probably all of them. Maybe That's why Todders had his hair done... a bit of time out from the pressure, tension, nerves and mental tiredness as you pointed out yourself. Talking out of both sides now Lakeyo? You expect them to have all these emotions and can understand that,yet a hairstyle grinds your gears. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't say it grinds my gears, I said it was self-indulgent, as are lots of things people do, like filling yourself with sixteen cans of lager, or sitting at a computer writing on a message board or a million other things. It was not a huge criticism. Anyhow, stress, pressure, tension, fear are all largely invisible and people cope with it in all sorts of ways, but if you do things that are visibly different, they are going to cause comment.

Surely we are well past the days when people commented on someone elses hair. And despite your claims, you were inferring it meant something more. Todd gave it as much as he could last night and even put in a nasty tackle and had revenge taken out on him not long after. I wish some of his more "older" teammates showed the same fight.

It still happens that if you don't notice someone's new hair style, they can take offence.....I didn't do it once and it took three days to get back in her good books.......
