Why are our loyal supporters on a witch hunt?
Like most i am extremely disappointed about how our season has started, im not a great lover of explayers returning to be coaches, as when a new coach moves in it does have a tendency to shake things up, which i believe to be a good thing
Getting on to my point, why when players are not playing well do we the fans turn on them. The media start and for some reason the supporters gather speed on rumors etc.
Giving away a penalty is not what any playr sets out to do….its happend move on!
Not keeping the ball up the other end of the park, silly yes….but again move on….lesson learnt!
If supporters want quality players to remain at the club…..support them….suppot them through the good and the bad…..we have been renowned for doing this in the past.
Yes lets pay money for good players….get them to play our way but whinging and the blame culture will result in bad feeling and that will result in players leaving or not coming in the first place.
I know this states the obvious, although not playing well, down on confidence blame the manager….and although the owners have dragged us into the present….pressure them to get a new person in charge….play a way with confidence and results will come!
Football for owners is about money……money talks. I know many on here will say thats what we do anyway but lets get back to supporting our fabulous players through good or bad performances and enable them and us to watch our profress up the league. RANT OVER
