It's clear that a few players are suffering from a distinct lack of confidence.

Barkhuizen, Harrop, Horgan, Johnson, Hugill, and Mavididi before he went all look shot of confidence. Does anybody else feel the same?

Horgan is a prime example. Last season, he would take people on, be direct and produce decent quality. This season, he can't even pass the ball 5 yards.

Barkhuizen started brilliantly, in recent weeks he's been afraid to take people on and he's been pretty non existent. Johnson looks a shadow of his former self, hes been passing sideways and his body language has been poor, he's been frustrated and has picked up so many yellows from dissent recently.

Hugill is devoid of any service and his body language has also been poor in recent weeks.


It's a slight concern IMO. We need a win and some confidence and energy as soon as possible.

Have to say no , they all looked confident ?
 
Harrop and Horgan might lack a bit of confidence through not getting regular starts, but the others should not be lacking confidence at all - they are regular starters, we are 11th in the table with only six defeats all season and until today had a potential FA cup 5th round tie looming. If players can't be confident with that then they never will be.
 
Neil has said over the course of the season he wishes the players believed in themselves a bit more and realised how good they actually are.

Some of them just need to take more responsibility on the pitch. Too many of them are taking the easy option at present and everything just goes sideways and backwards.
 
Any professional sport is demanding and unforgiving. If as a professional footballer you don't believe in your own ability to be a good player you are probably correct.
 
Whilst the manager may ask the players to believe in themselves it’s hardly surprising that a fear factor has crept in when the manager continually berates the players if they try something and it doesn’t come off. Confidence is instilled by the leader, it has always been thus.

Barky looks a shadow of his previous self I agree.

Harrop is a very young and inexperienced player that needs more time to develop but I believe will develop into an absolutely top quality player.

Horgan was a poor signing. I don't think he's good enough to be a regular in the championship. Bit part player at best.

Hugil hasn't scored for a few, it happens. He'll bounce back.

Mavadidi didn't take his chances when given them so we got rid.

Defensively (when everyones fit) we're good, very good. When Pearson plays with one other the 2 is good. Hugill/Moult can play the lone striker so the problem is getting the right 3. I'm hoping Bodin will manage it and Harrop will develop. As for the other position .... ????
