LMAO...when the going gets tough martin and edward224 get going...ffs you criticise dude, ed, tes, me et al for giving constructive and wise criticism and you're laying judgement on a team that you're supposed to be backing til the end...very odd...fair play!
I was chuckling to myself as well Barticus (like the mad man I am) reading Edward and Martin's public soul bearing.
It's just some people see it earlier than others, some see it choose to ignore it in the hope it will get better.
All of what we've seen this season is to be
expected. Our club is in the middle of a perfect storm - 20 years of weak, then scandalous ownership, new owners who are neither knowledgeable or come from a country that immerses itself in football, a weak CEO, a young, very inexperienced manager (coaching is different to managing) and a threadbare squad, padded out with young players being expected and needed to offer as much as senior pros and a transfer budget that would struggle to buy the weekly shopping in your average middle class household.
Therefore we have two things only, hope and faith. All we can do is try and keep believing that at some point the tide will change.
During that time there is nothing wrong with constructive criticism, pointing out what we think is wrong and offering up suggestions as to alternatives. That comes from the desire to see things put right and go right, and let's allow eachother to feel the different things, in the different ways, we all as
individuals will do.
Let's avoid personal abuse of individual players, the manager or each other, as there's more than enough of that coming from opposition fans and the media, but calling out a player when they've under-performed is perfectly acceptable, afterall, they have a responsibility to give 100% and nothing less to our club.
