Well I applaud that write up for our half backs are at present probably the worst in the league, talk about a one man team!!!! If James Smailes is reading this I hope he realises that this is exactly the sort of reporting that every fan appreciates and what gets the supporters reading the Mail articles again.. The club won't like it and will no doubt complain to the paper and Dan will be ostracised, but for me, it's just honest stuff from a fan. It doesn't make it better or solve the problem but it at least gets the absolute thinking of the average dismayed fan out there before any sort of spin can be put out 'to explain it away'. It's not knocking the club its just animating the views of the rank and file, from a guy who loves the FC as we all do, Dan and I haven't always seen eye to eye, so this isn't some sort of love in, but when I started this thread I was just hoping for such honesty. its an honest appraisal of what everyone, particularly those who made massive sacrifices and travelled all that way to Southern France to witness that, feel at present. Good stuff but if you want a little tip for future reference Dan take your own tea bags to press day !!!!
As you say it’s pretty much a fair assessment and honest and like many fans will feel and identify with. The club may not like such an honest appraisal in the paper but the facts are there for to see that have witnessed another very poor performance and in particular our 6 & 7.
AP and the club should be under no illusion that it’s not good enough which I’m sure Adam would likely readily admit as it’s very worrying for him.
Fans aren’t mugs and there does come a point when many after backing the club for years and during the pandemic when with the cost of living rising and the feeling of deja vue that they say enough is enough.
I myself had hoped that BH would be the one to improve us but we are yet again failing in many of the same issues that have blighted our seasons before. He has been here long enough now to have made a significant impact on the playing squad and our structures but in all honesty are we any further on or has anything really changed from seasons gone by?
