People on here seem entrenched in one camp or the other. Either they’re a “happy clapper” who will relentlessly look at the positives or they’re consistently negative who refuse to acknowledge anything good that the team/management/club do.


Exactly!  If we had lost on Saturday, the same people raving about the win would have said "It's no disgrace losing to Gillingham, as they are top of the table".

Let's wait until we've played Bradford, Wrexham and Swindon before going OTT with praise or criticism.

Not missing, just busy after the game yesterday. All I saw was another game proving my point. When Hurst fights his base instincts not to defend from the 6-yard box and instead we attack, harass, and press other teams in this league we look like and are often the better team. Thats now Salford, moments in the Notts game, first 20 minutes of Mansfield, second half at Walsall, and now the Gillingham game all proving my point.


You really don't understand football at all do you .

I think the point is more - let’s not go OTT with praise or criticism at all, but get some pragmatic sense of realism and perspective and fuse that with positivity and faith and patience.

I love a good moan after a defeat  , it’s part of my football experience. I’m usually over a defeat a couple of hours after a game unless it’s a disaster. I think it’s important not to take posts too seriously on here .

I also love a good moan after a defeat or stagnant draw BUT when I enjoy a win it makes all the pain and suffering worth it. I was fortunate enough to see Kerr and Buckley teams romp to victory at home more often than not and I still struggle to accept watching players unable to pass a ball 10yds or take a throw in or put a cross in .Towns 2nd goal v Gillingham was as good as anything from Kerr or Buckley teams so it's in there somewhere and I want more.Feed me Hurst

It's too early in the season to be overly excited or depressed.

We are only 6 points off relegation but as I like to have an optimistic outlook, if we had beaten Notts County, and we were in front twice in that game, we would be top of the league.

I’m not saying that there isn’t a natural place for disappointment, criticism, anger etc. Totally there is. Its the OTT bit that, by definition, is daft/irritating.
