There is only so long you can be lucky and you can dig deep with effort. Time and time again we have managed to get something even though we are not playing well and yes you think we got a point there but the boys need to remember they do have another level they can reach and another level after that. SL will be wanting more from them and I think doing it before the international break is the perfect time as they will have longer to reflect and enjoy the performance rather than bang straight into the next game. This increases your physiological confidence quicker and higher than a phew we were lucky there to get a point or win. The risk is if we don’t have the performance game is then players will dwell on their own performance and go into games think it’s only a matter of time until we can’t come back compared to the thought of we have shown we can perform so let’s go do it again and win.
I don't think there is any evidence to back up what you're asserting.
Historically teams who earn points notwithstanding performance psychologically become mentally stronger not weaker because they believe that regardless what comes off they will achieve.
Sabri's role will be to ensure that we don't dwell, focus on the positives and work on the negatives.
