I think it is about time this forum and fans in general start to get behind the team, Manager and the club,
Any one on here who thinks we are going to win every game and play free flowing football like the prem is supporting the wrong team.
We will loose a few games between now and the end of the season, We will make mistakes that cost us, so will all the other teams in this league.
It can not help the team, players or anyone else if we have a barrage of Hurst out posts every time we loose a game.
We are in a good position with a slim possibility of going up automatically so whilst we are in this position its our duty as fans to help drive them on not drag them down.
Lets be the 12th man
Happy new year to you all and hope 2015 is our year to get back to the FL

I can't imagine the manager or players give a monkey's bollock about what's written on a fans forum - they don't read them, or so we're lead to believe.
What definitely isn't helpful, is people such as yourself & the majority shareholder coming on here telling people to be thankful, or happy, or content with the situation everyone is in and the performances that we've seen. If there's one sure-fire way to turn people against you, it's telling them that their opinions are wrong if they aren't the product of the same blind faith that has infected the club at the very top during this decline.
The fact of the matter is the novelty of this division has well and truly worn off for most people. They're sick of spending their weekends and free time travelling to places like Eastleigh, they're sick of teams bringing less than 20 fans and they're sick of being told that it's THEIR FAULT that they might be doing it again next year.
How in Christ's name anyone can say we're not doing our duty as fans, having just had 7100 turn up the other day and 700 stood in the pissing rain & snow at Macclesfield two days before, is beyond me.
Great post. Spot on. Presumably, in the interests of balance and even-handedness, rob will also have posted a message to Fenty, Hurst and squad entitled 'time to deliver'. |

Makes me laugh this does......we have jf on another thread giving his reasons why things are how they are, then on another thread we have you rob, one of jf best mates spouting the same nearly word for word
I will make my own mind up, and don't need you or jf telling me what I should be doing
John why do you have this obsession with trying to tell everyone I am friends with JF every time I post. If I am then so what, am I not allowed an opinion of my own, I could say the same about you and a few others on here who all jump to each others defense when anyone tries to post positive threads.I am not saying we are playing good football or world beaters but answer me this how is all the vile abuse on players and the coaching staff whist at the games helping the team. |

Do you have any song inspiring graphics on the new scoreboard Rob?
Working on a few as well as goal replays (would be nice to get to practice that bit a few more times in a game though) |

We're going to lose 10 or so league games a season, the reaction to every defeat from some is totally disproportionate especially when they come on the back of a few good results. Still the players have to be able to handle the pressure, it's the same with any club where the supporters expect some sort of success at the end of the season (and for us in this division there is only one prize that ultimately matters).

I have an alternative proposition,why doesn't the team reward those who go week in week out without complaining with a memorial performance tomorrow.Can't remember when the last one was. |

Absolutely. The club are very fortunate indeed to have the level of support they do, and the vast majority are balanced and durable, as we have proven many times. |
