Alright Connell you made me do this!
Pretty sure my record on these is not great so I think this is a bit of a free hit, post Plymouth trek.
I'll take a point now.
Thanks and sorry in advance.

Er.
Right.
Well...
Does this mean I have to do the Wednesday fred as well?

Not sure as I did the Plymouth thread Chef, then you got in early for 'Ull...
I am going to put this out there - controversial I know - but my belief is, it don't mean Jack Sh*t who starts the matchday thread !!
But now I have said this, all blame me for the next games reverse... |  |

I don't believe that it is a moratorium on criticising any players, more a combination of some fans absolutely need to have a scapegoat in the team no matter what and a sense that rising from the bottom of the table to a few points off the play offs in a couple of months is a staggering turnaround and should, no matter how we got there and who played well/ badly etc. is almost insignificant in those circumstances.
I could understand the digging out if we had gone from a few points from the play offs to rock bottom but we have a team on the up, a terrific team spirit among ALL the players and going to games is no longer a dreaded event. Imagine if Madsen was to read this board; is it likely to make him feel good and spur him on or just make him retreat further into his shell?
I'm half expecting the most common response to be "I don't give a flying one what he thinks, he's sh!t" Even now, after such a great performance from Paal last night there are still comments of "he was alright" but players like Field & Dunne get a pass for any errors they make. Please can we get behind all the players and do away with scapegoating them? There is ALWAYS going to be a player who is the worst in the squad but that doesn't mean we can't support him whilst he is wearing the hoops!
It really does take a shine off the current form and the reaction to the Leicester defeat really does emphasise almost innate compulsion to lay into the team or players at any setback. The atmosphere at the games is so much different to the vibe on here, the fans get behind the players and now we are seeing dividends from that support. |
Ok. Fair comments although I disagree in part .
For the record I was called a happy clapper 10 days ago for criticising the over the top nature of the fallout after the Leicester game.
Certainly not scapegoating anybody and posted a plenty about what a great win and gutsy performance it was last night . Mentioned who I thought played well who impressed me .
All positive .
I was buzzing last night and struggled to sleep for hours . So my aim wasn’t to ‘p*ss on anyone’s parade’ just saying what I saw in my view and that was 2 players looking out of their depth and off the pace . MC took one off so I can’t be totally wrong .
The fact that we shouldn’t be critical in case they might read this is ridiculous.
I played in a touring band for 25 years where live performances , albums , songs, tones, appearances and just about everything was torn apart by fans, media , social media , websites , fan pages , etc etc .
It’s brutal but if you don’t have a thick enough skin to read a few people saying you ain’t playing well enough or adapting as quick as we’d hoped then you are in the wrong business .
I didn’t see any abuse . And that’s unacceptable. But criticism is part of being a footballer .
I for one hope he proves me wrong . Nothing would make me happier I promise you .
But if fans think someone is struggling or not pulling their weight or letting others down or just playing badly then fans have e dry right to say so . |  | | |
