H&S Doubters

People are chomping at the bit to discuss this on TOTY so thought I'd set up a new thread.

I can see both sides - think the fans talking about relegation not so long ago should have got a grip, but like Scott says it's an ongoing process and we haven't achieved anything yet.

I've defended S&H from the flak and we've certainly progressed going the right way recently, but I wouldn't say I have no doubts at all going forward either - so I'm a "possible". Won't say why right now.

So are you confident S&H will now deliver promotion this season or next ?
Or are you a doubter wondering if they're still the right choice ?

In either case, why ?

Discuss...

Their was hardly any doubters in the first place when they came, so surely their won't be many votes

Clearly, it's a possibilty.

Definitely possible.

It's still way to early to call H&S a success or failure.

I never doubted their potential and ability. If you look at their managerial career it has just steadily progressed and we are the next stage in their progression as a competent force. Too many fans on here wrote them off early in the season and gave them ridiculous nicknames but it was never going to be easy to pull things round at the club. I can see a very interesting second half of the season and a much better next season.

We haven't beaten a decent team yet, or had a cup run: I'm keeping my four feet firmly on the ground.

I hope to get excited around Easter if we still have a chance of the Play-Offs and a Trophy triumph.

I thought they was a good appointmnt when they took over and wasn't too concerned with their poor results from last season... The start we had this season was shocking, the good performances were sporadic at best and to me, at times, the players displayed the same sort of 'can't be arsed' attitude that we have had for many years, this is when I became a 'doubter' and would have quite happily seen the back of them...

Lately, there can be no denying we seem to have, at last, made some real progress... 3 league wins in a row, 1 defeat in 13, some of the quality performances and the amount of goals we have scored are signs of progress... I hope the progress continues and even in the times when I did doubt them, I didn't abuse them, just raised my concerns regarding whether they was the right men to take the club forward...

I still have some doubts though... I want to see us win the top teams both, home and away, because not trying to take anything away from recent results, have we really played any one of real quality who is up at the top end of the league...??? I also guess a lot of my doubts aren't directly related to the managers we have now but more the 'not wanting to get suckedd in to believing again and ending up being dissapointed...

As for this season I think we are too far adrift to make the play-off spots even though we seem to be giving a real crack... Next season with the same progress and an ability to beat the top teams we can deffinately achieve promotion and it would be a disapointment if we didn't make the play-offs...

I've put possibly but leaning more towards probably

I reckon they're doing everything needed but we are still struggling financially and need the gates to increase to support a promotion push (we seem to be a little light on experienced central midfielders atm). Not overly sure what the board want the supporters trust to do about setting their budget.

Three things that would push me to suggest probably:

Ryan Bennett being sold in the summer giving us enough cash to keep going for an extra 2 years at current overspend
Wembley visit with the fa vase and cash
A couple of excelllent money spinning friendlies to boost the youth system funds. I'm not overly sure why so many of our friendlies last year were away and to clubs with fan bases in the hundreds. Real shame about the Hull fixture but guess they made up for it with Townsend.

Good post but I believe its 1 loss in 14 not 13.
