It was utter shite today but there were people around me who literally couldn't wait for Dixon to do anything wrong so they could start giving him grief. I actually heard somebody say 'I've lost count of the number of times......' three minutes into the new season.

It seems the wonderful Mr Jolley is more touchy than Hurst.
If you don't like the heat and all that
Is he really surprised? Looking back on here many seemed to thinkt he was going to win the Champions League at least
Players on the cheap? Make that manager on the cheap too
Well that just not true. For a start we're in league 2 and only premier league teams qualify for the champions league, meaning we'd have to win 3 promotions and then finish in the top 4 in the PL for us to even make the group stages, and then there's navigating those plus 3 knockout stages just to make the final against world class opposition. I can't think any rational Town fans would be expecting MJ to win the champs league on our meagre 1m or so budget per season.

Trust you to take my comment literally My point of course was that every fornicator was creaming their jeans about a financial dealer with U23 management experience and a relegation from the Swedish premier league. Any doubts or criticisms were greeted with adverse comments or worse. He won a few games and kept us up. That's last seasons news Everything starts afresh from today and it doesn't look good A bit early to talk of changing the manager ? Yes of course it is but please please Mr Fenty don't leave it too long this time. If it's going mammaries up don't prevaricate again.. He's made the signings, they're his choices and he's lining them up his way so no excuses please!

I think they should put the dugouts in front of the Findus Stand. None of the Main Stand riff raff shouting abuse during an "unlucky" defeat. All he would here is "Hard luck old chappie,better luck next time." {the useless bstrds]

Not great but playing players out of position doesn’t help hopefully MJ will learn from this If he doesn’t he’ll be gone by Xmas but having said that Fgr do have a big playing budget and it showed today tbh

Doesn't this all sound familiar, hope Jolley doesn't turn out to be another Slade............. Accept it Jolley, when its that bad people are going to hurl abuse, they have paid good money which in my book gives them the right too.

And trust you to cream your jeans at the first sign of negativity.... You must have absolutely loved the goals coming in today so you could come on here spouting your bile about how you were right about Jolley all along and that if we'd appointed Paul Harsley as you'd wanted we'd have won 4-0 and all would be rosy. Well your negativity bores me.... Grow a sense of humour and actually support your bloody football club for a change instead of moaning about every single little thing. You may just surprise yourself Swin!

Look, all said n done we got our @rses spanked today, jolley faced the media and made no excuses and did not single out a player although he knew who screwed up...my concern lies with the fact that in the first half we we're lucky to go in 1-0 up and fgr passed us off the pitch and he did nothing to rectify the problem at half time, so I must have reservations that maybe MJ is not as tactically astute as sone thought.....only one game in, I'm not judging yet but if the cycle keeps repeating itself then some serious conversations with the board and the manager will need to be had..

I just can't understand this view at all. This wasn't people shouting 'it's not good enough' or 'get your finger out' or 'this is sh1t' and such....this is really angry, personal, disrespectful abuse that I heard in the main stand. With kids all around. To be fair to Jolley, he mentioned it but made little or nothing if it. Civilised society wouldn't have it. It wouldn't happen in yours or my workplace. I don't think that paying to watch gives you the right to that kind of abuse at all. Criticism yep. Disappointment, anger - all part and parcel really, but what I heard was really disrespectful and very very unfair after one bad game.

Sadly, it wouldn't be BP without it.
