As happens many times, some Players mouth off in the Telegraph about what they gonna do, and it all backfires. Ollie is everywhere around the Town making a name for himself. Maybe its time he went into obscurity and got on with the training. Its not all about you Ollie, its about our Club, stop making a name for yourself and sort it out. Fed up of all the silly quotes etc, stick with the training, don't speak to the Press, stop your money making journals and get on with what your paid for. Too many of you lot on here are drawn into what he is doing, no man is bigger than the Club, read it and believe it.


You're absolutely right...how dare he try and drum up some extra support for the club and try and engage the next generations of Town fans...

The absolute cheek of the man!

I'm as disgusted as you are!!

We can only but pray for a return of the days when the club didn't try and form a real connection with the fans!

2 goals down to midfielders not tracking their player allowing them to just run past (Grandin/Whitehouse) allowing them to get the throughball near the byline. Subs had no affect and I still dont know what Green brings to the team other than running around alot (may have been enough under Jolly but not good enough if we are going to improve) Dont think we had a shot on target 2nd half. Still we didn't look too much out of our depth but still a long way to go if we are going to challenge next season. .

Through the ramblings I am inclined to agree with your sentiment but aren’t the fans arguably an issue here. Singing his name like he’s some saviour? Suddenly wanting a flat cap...

Holloway himself has clearly acknowledged that perhaps it needs reigning in a bit and I expect it will.

Even if we were excrement for only 14 minutes today, we were dismantled and the first half at Bradford is something we’ve seen too many times.

No doubt that will be worked on...I know folk want realism but I’ll be copulated if I’m gonna be happy losing 3-1 whoever were playing...understandable that fans aren’t happy. Will it get an over reaction? Naturally? Will folk clamour to shout ‘be realistic’ and tell us it’s a work in progress blah blah...

Perhaps people need to just acknowledge it’s football and emotion is a vital ingredient...just because folk don’t agree doesn’t mean they’re wrong necessarily...

A tiny bit of perspective wouldn't go amiss. I rather suspect he does the interviews and PR stuff outside of training hours. I have never seen a manager work so hard and we have lost to the league leaders,who will probably go up as champions, and he is trying to turn round years of neglect.

Well you've made a right male private**** of yourself there!

Consistently winning matches will do that, performances on the pitch will do all the drumming up you need

Do you think winning a few matches would mean a lot to 6-11 year olds who have never been to Blundell Park?! Kids who would only normally watch their Premier league teams on match of the day... Or would they need something to spark their interest... Like the charismatic manager going into their school etc etc?!?
