No doubt Jolley will cup his ear at the abusers when we win the play off final

Blames the players,blames the fans. Typical really lol. Nobody else but you got it wrong MJ, bad  team selection, bad formation,poor game plan.

He should be a man about it and accept the blame for today. If you don't want abuse MJ then deliver a team and game plan that offers good football and wins. Better yet if you get it wrong hold your hands up and admit it.

Every manager we have mentions from time to time the comments of those behind them in the Main Stand. It's part of the job and it gets to some more than others, but it is bound to affect the managers they are not robots.

There was plenty of hysterical nonsense from fans today. The same fans telling me before the kick off that they thought Jolley would take us up this season were the ones haranging the players and calling him clueless.

It was excrement, but it was the first game of the season. We look light in quality but he got us going last season. Not looking forward to that style of play though if it continues.

Quoted from Vance Warner
Thought he got that spot on in his interview. It’s no good complaining about the amount of money it’s cost if you’re going to spend 90 mins shouting counter productive abuse which is only going to make performances worse. Jolley has now seen the best and worst of our support. It’s been commented on by every manager I can remember. For the record it doesn’t happen to this extent at all clubs.

I think though this club is maybe a bit more working class than most and this has it pros.A lot of the fanbase will appreciate a tryer.

Likewise the weight of expectation by some fans may weigh on the players after matches via sites such as this one after a bad result.Hence Iam sure most if not all players and management  read the fishy.

So it was the players fault and he also had a go at some of the fans, disappointed he didn't accept some of the blame and suggest he got the team selection or tactics wrong.

He didn't 'have a go at some of the fans'.

MJ should accept some blame, you don't lose 4-1 at home and be thoroughly outplayed if you get your tactics and personnel correct.

However, I've listened to the interview and I don't disagree with him when it comes to the bile being shouted from the stands. Whilst our fans can be magnificent in getting behind the team when things are going well, we also have a much higher percentage of utter arseholes compared to other clubs. We lost today, badly. We were also very poor. But I saw on social media some twat telling Jolley to "f**k off back to Yorkshire". It's day one of the season. That is quite incredible and I bet he's one of those bellends who will in the next sentence claim we've got "the best fans in the country".

I don't disagree that you can comment on how badly a game is going but we've all heard it on numerous occasions where the comments become overly vile and personal. Hilariously, it's generally these same people that get arsey when they're called out for it. It's no coincidence that near enough every manager in the 20 years I've been attending have mentioned it at some point.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

People are still getting angry when the manager doesn't lick their ringpiece? Oh dear...
