Message in the dressing room - is this true? 12:08 - Mar 6 with 2486 viewsNthQldITFC

One of the commenting bods on the news story 'Lambert Hopeful on Skuse and Huws', says that there is 'a sign that reads "99% effort = 100% failure"' in the home dressing room at Portman Road.

Is this true? If so that's really sh1t psychology (unless you are a club at the very top of your game) and should be ripped down asap.

Why? The least we should expect is 100% effort. Less than that is failure

Would you rather a poster that says “put in as much effort as you can be arsed to”?

Some of our players don’t look like they’re anywhere near 99% effort levels as it is

My hobbies include being quiet during trips, clapping with songs, and diabetes.

Because the mentality of this club is very, very fragile and has been for quite some time. Just mentioning '... 100% failure' as part of a well-meaning phrase can be consciously or subconsciously damaging to certain players, particularly now.

Change it for "Give everything" or just "100% effort".

I’m presuming that this is a leftover from Hurst’s crappy revamp of the dressing room area with banal slogans.

We should have seen the warning signs when he said he didn't like cheese. But we didn't.

Can't trust anyone like that.

Are you trolling?

If they can't handle the 'pressure' of facing giants like Lincoln and Accrington they can do one.

I don't think they are emotionally fragile to fall to pieces over a meaningless poster.

Get a grip.

That's not a bad effort though in the face of expected failure.

Mine would say 75% effort if I could be bothered to put one up.

No, not trolling. It's just a belief I have. As with everything, I could be wrong.

If they're that fragile they shouldn't be here. If it were me I'd see it as the challenge to not be a failure and drive me to work even harder
