The thing is even when we have won, with one or two exceptions, the team has never looked convoncing. Thevsame weaknesses from last season are still there. I am not surprised that we have gone from “getting by - but only just” to the present state where we are barely getting by. It was never going to be a big step to do that. Even the poorest teams know that with a bit of application they can beat us.
Complaining isn’t the issue though. Unreasonable expectations of waving a magic wand and fixing things instantly are the problem. As has been said on this thread , no one can be happy at this situation but realistically the things that are wrong with the club, ie current squad, recruitment set up, scouting, academy etc are easy to run down but can’t be fixed instantly. For a start, everyone knows the club doesn’t have money to throw at things and even if we did, financial rules don’t allow it. I really hope with the new investment, there’s a serious strategy and an identified aim. To get there, and to do it within the rules and in a way that will keep benefitting the club for years to come will take time. Some people will never be happy with that because they demand instant results
What does posivity mean, making excuses for poor displays, saying it‘s ok to be shortof power, pace height, skill and guile if it wasn’t so broke, it wouldn’t need fixing. Positiity does nothing, you have to be realistic, then you can start to fix things.
Another goalkeeper, are they hiring you in or is it the Russians.
they never go to games marra, so you should be ok...
It’s sad the way free speech is being suppressed, of course common decency and a modicum of sensibility has to be applied, but if someone cops a ban merely for expressing an opinion then we’ve reached a sad point in time.No freedom of speech on here mate I got banned for rightly saying Pickford was shit and then for saying that Sunderland getting 8000 attendance s was poor mods
Instant results? This is our 2nd season in the third division. Looking a possibility it could be 3 years and more. Is it unreasonable to expect promotion?
Course it’s not unreasonable but my point is you can’t just get rid of the current squad, you can’t just bring in a ready made whole new team that’s fit for purpose. People wanted Ross gone rightly or wrongly but then people expect a new manager to come in and everything’s rosy. In one of my previous posts I said the time for a reset was the beginning of last season but recruitment obviously wasn’t up to scratch. No new manager can come in and fix 10+ years of bad management in a month. If you take today as a fresh start. It’ll take ages to put everything in place to have a successful and functioning club. Mistakes or bad management have put us where we are. There’s no instant fix to that as much as we’d all want there to be
Why do you think he was a bad choice, and who would have been a better ( realistic) one?
His record is poor and Pearson would have been my choice he wouldn't allow these pissheads a free reign
He would have been mine too, but I thought I'd read somewhere that he wasn't interested?
No one is suggesting that supporters cant have an opinion like. Football is a game of opinions but when those opinions become poisonous and incredibly negative it has a detrimental effect on everything. We are called supporters for a reason, we are supposed to support even in adversity.
The Keyboard Mags in this forum should find there way into their Lasses knicker draws as you elegantly put it above....
