Fair enough response MarinerWY, and yeah you are right I haven’t seen anyone suggest we get rid of Mr Holloway.

However, I get sick of the typical knee jerk reactions when Town lose. If we had won today, I very much doubt much would have been made of IH comment JT today. He’s maybe just frustrated.

I have been watching Town for 30 years and have seen many false dawns and managers full of promises. We finally have a manager who we can believe in and has worked minor miracles in the short time he has been here, yet some on here would rather focus on a frustrated, off the cuff remark instead. I just don’t get it.

It's not a great questions is it?  We had a bad day at the office against the best side in the league (according to the stats).  Under MJ we all complained about him chopping and changing the team and I am sure JT was with us on that one. Still ,  no need to be rude.  IH doesn't look as happy of late.  I can't remember which interview but in a recent one, he looked bored and distant.

'the honeymoon is over', 'showing his true colours' give over, we just lost, he upset emotions still raw, he has anger issues which he's admitted. We all have little issues. We move on.

The harbingers of doom just can't wait to get their claws into something, any little thing... Poor sods feeding on scraps 🙄

All I said was it was rude and uncalled for! That doesn't mean I think he's a bad manager, nor that I'm a harbinger of doom feeding on scraps. I just think he could have shown a little more courtesy to a local reporter who was asking a perfectly reasonable (if predictable) question.

I think everyone, manager and fans alike were pist off straight after the match - I was. Now that he has calmed down I am sure that he would give the same answer but in a politer way if he was asked this morning. Yes, they were effing shite at the start of the second half, most likely suprised by the effects the wind had and heads did drop but nobody tried to hide. He was as disappointed as us but these things happen . " A new morning has come "

Underneath the fantastic PR,the quotes the laughter and media appearances is a manager with a fierce will to win. That is part of the package and he obviously will be annoyed at the manner of the goals conceded.  That anger spilled over straight after the game - similar to a lot of posts on here!

I am sure Ollie will be the first to apologise to JT if he overstepped the mark.

Holloway is the best thing to have happened to this club for donkeys years and luckily a few wild social media comments about a post match interview wont have an effect, but I do find it difficult to understand why some people jump on it when you think of all the good he has done and the exciting times ahead.

Would be interesting to see the response to this overreaction from Holloway if he was an inexperienced manager like Bignot or Jolley for instance.

Interviewing managers is always suspect and to be honest, pre or post game I don’t generally listen to them. If they’re not full of cliches and sound bites they’re evasive or not that informative, in Holloway’s case they usually include some random analogy or some snippet of comedy.

Each to their own I guess but it’s just something I’ve never bothered with. Perhaps Tondeur was having an off day like the manager and the team, hence the simplicity of the questions?

Whilst many missed the sarcasm in many a post in this thread, the difference between Holloway and the last manager, I think this response was borne of frustration and a realisation that there’s still a lot of work to be done. Jolley’s response was from a man under pressure with no ideas left...

I think his initial over the top enthusiasm has been swapped for realisation of what exactly he's taken on, The honeymoon may well be over and maybe not a bad thing either. Less public stuff more football managing

I Think to some extent, the article shared on here last week from The Athletic says as much. You can certainly tell the folk that didn’t read it. Holloway admits himself in a roundabout way that it’s not just about him or singing his name and being out there but actually about improving a football club.

The putting down of fans cynical to the optimism or merely questioning things is concerning because that constant blind approach is what the club have down for years and it doesn’t help...

The general consensus near me at BP was that folk wanted more concentration on the team. No doubt we can utilise Holloway’s approach and attitude to raise our profile but ultimately I think the responses towards JT do show a man frustrated and a man who recognised there is a big piece of work on...
