It appears that the crowd and the SOL is giving these players confidence

[ReaL Madras]

....strange that that band of high earners felt that it drained confidence.


Excuses from spineless players and managers with poor tactical skills and judgement.

The winning mentality is back and we are on the rise again.


Believe.

It is a world of difference to some of the shambolic efforts which we have witnessed for too long. Only a brief period under BSA was the effort of the players worthy of support.
Many of the new players appear to appreciate their new surroundings, which include the AOL with its fantastic facilities and won't have been anywhere comparable. Too many have just been here for a wage packet and had no professional pride.

Good thing for me is whatever happens, we score first or the opposition score first the fans have stayed with the team, the connection between the team and the fans seems to have been mended in double quick time which is both amazing and brilliant, onwards and upwards

For far too long we persisted in bringing players to the club who simply didn't want to come . I hate all of them but how many of us are enthusiastic about working somewhere we don't want to be ?

certainly looks like the pisstake party has bit the dust,so much more enjoyable even if it is only two games,seeing supporters smile at the game's a novelty in itself after the last few seasons

Max Power made comment on the stadiums fans in his interview..very positive..When Jack Ross spoke before a ball was kicked he talked about making the SOL a fortress but that it was down to the players to get the fans on their feet with the style of play...not the other way arounf( the fans had suffered enough and needed the players to lift them)..well so far so good Jack,thank you and the players for turning it around(albeit early days)

We've won almost as many home games already this season than we did the last

Bet the local bars are gutted at the loss of trade from 3/45 till full time

Well said,getting the right characters is to come to the north east is crucial(which if you have a few bob must be a fantastic relatively safe place to raise your family).JR seems to put a huge emphasis on this..signing hungry players with ambition

I noticed he was loving it when he was taking corners and egging everyone on to make a noise.

Crowd have been in fine voice so far this season.

There is a big difference in the crowd mind mate.

I’ve said this a hundred times before, but the previous ownership fucked up our ticketing policy and helped turn the SOL into a horrible place to play. Thankfully, things are changing

And credit must be given to our fantastic new owners.

Think it was 3 Home wins in each of the last two seasons. We’ve almost equalled that in our first 3 consecutive games. To do that we need to beat the team bottom of the league with a -9 GD to our +4. Surely even Sunderland cannot mess that up playing like this

What do you mean exactly?

Without a doubt, leadership comes from the top, something sadly missing of late.

Eh?
The shit overpaid piss taking imposters on the field caused that.

Yes indeed. And also the manager Mr Rss - who has transformed the way we play, and how we react to that play. It's brilliant.

You're right mate....getting the ethos of the club to where it should be is most important, and that stems from the top....something Short never realised. When it's right,everyone buys into it...the players,fans,coaches,the staff...everyone. It also makes it a lot easier to attract players to the club.
It's also why we've previously entered into some ridiculously expensive contracts for players.....it was the only way we could get them to come,even if they didn't want to. Word goes round this industry quickly,players talk to each other all the time and the message would have gone out what a hugely troubled and shite mess we were. It's early days,but the word will be going round now that things have changed and that will be reflected in our player dealings in the future,I'm sure.
