Carl Dickinson recalls 10-match losing run: 'I didn't want to be near my family'

No wonder we was losing, this is quite the poor attitude in my opinion. Whatever happened to trying? You know, work hard and come together as a team?

I fail to believe that this wasn't possible.

He doesn't say he wasn't trying, just that he was hurting after losing. I'd be more concerned if he wasn't bothered.

My point is, he never did anything 'positive' to overcome it and his comments about his family show an extremely poor attitude (one I have seen quite often when he does play). Footballers should never allow the game to effect their personal lives, 10 games isn't the worst outcome and if he was focused - perhaps family support would have helped him when taking to the field? It's a team game though, so why make your family suffer because of that?

I would spend car journeys with my family when I wouldn't say a word to them because what we were going through would ruin my weekend.

I wouldn't say anything to the missus or the kids and I certainly didn't want to be near them after a game if it had not gone well.

Under Sheridan I often spoke/wrote about 'morale' and 'confidence', but the above highlights his very poor attitude. He says he's a positive person, the quotes would suggest others. I'd sympathize if he suffered from a mental illness but he ******* during games, match officials, our own players/opposition.

He's just got a very poor attitude at the day and it wasn't that long people was reminding me our players are supposed to be professionals.
