The people saying they needed to shut up early on rightly pointed out that they'd be making a rod for their own back if things didn't go well and they suddenly went quiet. Turns out that's exactly what's happened too, what with "tactical twitter holidays" etc.

Amazing that this gets ignored.

If you can call ya family being threatened and threats about ya house being burned down a "tactical twitter holiday"

We complain if a manager is honest and says we are relegation fodder, we complain if one of the board sets high expectations.
I am happy with the latter, Iam grown up enough to know he can’t guarantee it... but at least it’s a stated ambition and objective by which to judge our season by.

We don’t complain if the board set high expectations though.

It’s the fact he set them then hasn’t invested anything into the squad, paid off the higher earners & done very little in the market to address last seasons issues. Also kept the manager who failed last year. He’s not going to get us to 100 points and the team is weaker than last year.

Bloke also said we would give it a right good go because we were in such a healthy spot with parachute payments etc & we clearly haven’t done that.

Excuse to have a pop at the fans again I see


There’s really not a cabal of fans.


The vocal support bounces off the performance on the pitch, that is a fact.

If the side had been having a go and creating chances it would have been bouncing in the final, instead JR and the players shit themselves and camped behind the ball to defend. That obviously creates nerves and there’s nothing to shout about.

This is the same as in the home games, the crowd react to the performances, it’s the same everywhere. Everyone talks about Anfield and their crowds etc but I was there when they beat us 2-1 when they were going for the title under Rodgers and I tell you what, it was silent until the 94th minute because they were shite and nervous.
Can’t believe the fans are coming in for stick for the vocal support, the level of support or anything like that.

People are that up the owners arse they’d (not you), they’d rather dig out their own rather than SD or CM

I can't argue with your point that the 2 Wembley performances were poor, but as so many had made the expensive trip down, why not vocally support the team to rev them up?? I've seen us and many other fans do it over many seasons.
I recall vividly being at Villa Park 80--81 and despite being 4 down, we sang solidly for the last 15 minutes pledging our love which even Barry Davies commented on. That's support and I'm sorry, our vocal support at both Wembley finals was piss poor and I like any other safc fan there that day was culpable.

Nerves. Support in the cup final against City was excellent even though we’d lost the game that’s a fact too. Was only 6 year ago.

It was a tight game and the performance was absolutely terrible on the pitch so the crowd reacted to that, that’s natural. We are also in the third tier and can’t seem to put in a good performance, by the end of the Charlton game everyone was simply fed up.

When you’re losing 4-0 the game has gone, it’s gallows humour in a way.

So you're not one of us, not a supporter?

Thought so, your tone is contradictory and disingenuous. Think you need to stop it TBH and just be clear about your intentions.

So we’ve spent more money on weakening our squad than strengthening it? As it stands

You do well then, some would argue this forum is becoming your full time job given your post count on a daily basis. Now we know you're not one of us and a true fan it makes things easier TBH.

im more a rue fa of safc than those (not you) who are eager to find the negative and are doing the bidding of peopletring to make safc fail..people with an agenda because they were made redundant or didnt get to buy the club off ellis..those people are the probelm...and the poepl who claim to be fans but never do owt for the club..

poyet called the problem the "something he couldnt put his finger on"...until that is fixed..safc wont hit its potenial..
 
We don't need to be serenaded, cajoled, soothed or volleyed, have expectations re aligned, understand "our place", feel as though the owners adore us, we need to see a team on the pitch who can play.

If whoever is tasked with this finds it impossible they are the wrong person.

Funny how the quiet are seen as aloof and disinterested, yet the vocal are seen as totally immersed in the project and switched on.

Once again football on Wearside is being made into a complex machine. Fuck knows why.
 
The bloke is a bellend who some people fawn over because he comes out with shite like 'under my skin' or some childish jibe about the mags.

How some people are taken in by his PR bollocks is beyond me. Naive in the extreme
