Of course but they should be asked of Slade, Wilkinson and Fenty and, if the winless run continues, Jolley. Moan about the team as a whole by all means, all fans do don't we? But leave off individuals, if anything they are all as bad as each other, no one is exempt. Slag them off as a group but then get behind them as a group too, not just Saint Macca and Master Clifton



Macca and Clifton have been exempt of criticism simply because their efforts actually look like they care

Well that's done a lot for Clarke's confidence to add to the constant slagging off of Matt, Kelly, Vernon, Hooper, Dixon, Berrett, Rose, and Woolford  doesn't leave many who would want to turn out for the club let alone be captain.

There has been a call to get rid of everyone bar Macca, Mills and Clifton at the end of the season, no need, there will be a rush to the exit

I thought we were supposed to getting behind the players on the vital run in. Now Slade has gone are we looking for another target to blame?

I never slagged off his performances as I rarely saw him and I never comment on individual players in matches I have not seen.

If you would like to waste an hour or so checking you will see I did not like the man, did not rate the man as ridiculously highly as some on here (the Premiership was mentioned for felicitations sake!) proven right by his record since leaving Town for pastures new (the grass is still probably still greener, in front of the bench at Peterborough, though as he's raking in the £££s) but I did not single him out for blame or criticism of his performances

You spent rather more than an hour obsessing about his 'dodgy' knee and how we'd been sold a duffer. Completely wrong.
I liked Bogle, I'd fu**ing worship the guy now.

So you never slagged off his performances as you wouldn’t do that if you haven’t seen individual performances, but you did (therefore I assume do) not like the man, so I assume you knew him personally or have met him to make that judgement?

I think the prevailing view of most was that he was too good for this level and was probably about lower end of Championship level, and probably worth around a million quid as a punt for a side lacking goals. That turned out to be the case.

But it didn't though did it? He was hardly prolific at Wigan and soon moved on

But it did. He went to a higher division for 1 million and was then sold to Cardiff for 700,000. Those are facts and he was judged to be good enough for that level by two different managers, one of whom is a very successful manager at that level. Wigan sold him because they got relegated to League 1. The fact he is currently on loan is neither here nor there. Harry Kane was once on loan to Orient. He scored three goals for Cardiff, got an injury, then couldn't get back in the side. Doesn't mean he won't go back there and be a success. He's not a top end striker agreed, but he is way better than you said he was at the time he was here.

You could always say..oh yeah, ha ha, I remember saying he was crocked, we'd wasted out transfer kitty  cos he missed a couple of pre-season friendlies with a sore knee when he signed, silly me, he was fine and went on to get us promoted, ha ha...

But you won't.
