Just back

I did think it was quiet on here last night after a decent performance, given how you can barely get a word in edgeways when we’ve lost.

Glad it’s picked up now we’ve got someone to pick on though

Yep. 3 new threads since yesterday’s match, one of them being the Colchester match predictions. Wonder what that tells you?

When things are going ok on the pitch even Mr Fenty gets an easy ride on here, just think if we were to be top 3 and challenging for promotion, people would be carrying him around on their shoulders and singing "there's only one non chairman"

There is one poster who is a prolific thread starter when we lose - usually blaming the board for playing excrement. No surprise that he’s one of those scapegoating.

I like moaning myself. Good for the soul.

If I am not moaning too much then things aren't too bad. What's wrong with that?

We don't do enough moaning in my opinion. After 17 years of complete failure, our collective moaning has been very subdued. I don't think you can expect the forum to have page after page of positive comment following a 0-0 home draw.  

The difference between when we win and lose is staggering though. Some people have been noticeably quieter since we’ve started picking up points again. I assume they’ll be back after the next bad performance.

Well I bet the board would play excrement - they're all a bit old. It's a bit sad if no-one is allowed to have an opinion that is vaguely critical - I firmly believe we had at least two better options than JJ on the bench (Cook & Pringle).

Only one ?  Definitely 2-3 who's ears will be burning [ or will they be smirking ? ]

Maybe it’s about balance then? If people can’t celebrate a decent result with the same vigour as tearing into a bad one, then maybe each situation needs a level of understanding and nuance? Especially given what people are advocating every time we have a bad run, in sacking the manager and all the staff, and starting again from scratch. Do we need an inquest and a hanging after every loss? Maybe after 6 on the bounce or whatever, but this has been going on for years every time there’s a duff performance.  

This 17 years of abject failure can quite easily be laid at the door of one bloke, but he’s not the one copping for it when the team gets booed off at half time or when JJ Hooper misses a header.

All that sacking Jolley nonsense a few weeks back was embarrassing to say the least..............
