    "The supporters need to show more backbone" or the "fans need to grow some ********" what difference do they believe this will make on the pitch? If everyone turns up on Saturday with their ******** in a wheelbarrow will it make a blind bit of difference, or is it, as I suspect, complete and utter meaningless tripe?

    Like sticking with a manager and not wanting change every third Bank Holiday.

    I hope they install special turnstiles. It's making my eyes water just thinking about it.

    Morning James, you should have just replied to my post rather than starting a new one mate.

    But seeing as you asked, you see how people really are when things go against them. You know, a bit of fight and faith. When Flitcroft was sacked it was very easy for people to talk about writing this season off, planning for the future, giving a manager time to build a club and team after all the **** we'd had these last few years.

    But then this weekend after the first really bad result of Danny's reign has seen people turn on him. Flitcroft didn't get this much hammer when he lost:

    5-2 away at Blackburn
    4-0 at home to Wigan
    5-1 at home to Southampton
    5-1 at home to Watford

    I understand people being upset. I wasn't too f.cking happy either but when you look at the four results I mention above did we expect Danny to come in and sort out that amount of **** in 10 weeks? I hoped he would but never did I expect it, especially with the constraints he's being asked to work in. So my point about lack of backbone is that if you honestly believe we should be planning for the long term then you have to accept **** like Saturday will happen, dust yourself down and get on with supporting rather than bairning and stamping your feet.

    The anger should not be at the manager. Simple as.

    I agree that anger should not be directed at the manager (although any manager has to be accountable to some degree) but people keep trotting this out about fans having backbone or ******** but really it means nothing.

    We could all come on here every day saying he's great and that's working and so and so is a cracking player and everything else but it changes nowt. The only thing that matters is what happens on the pitch. And we're ****ed. I'm convinced of it.

    By the way Liam, it's not just you who said it so I'm not singling you out in any way.

    All managers are accountable, I wouldn't argue otherwise. But Danny has taken over a side that was ***** and whilst in my opinion we're a bit better we're still ***** and will probably get relegated. If we do then there will be no blame on Wilson in my opinion and I look forward to three years of steady development under him because that's what we need. One bad result here and there won't change that for me.

    Anyone that believes Danny Wilson is a bad football manager needs to bang their head against the West Stand wall for a while. If he can't manage this club then unfortunately he's not the problem.

    I think Flicker sorted out them results himself, however, having to go ultra defensive meant we had less in the way of attacking options and whilst results were easier on the eye and we stayed in games longer we still weren`t picking up enough points.

    Danny started off with sorting the defence out and being tight at the back and we picked up a few points but now we are in to the period where 3 points are needed and we are having to go more attack minded we will occasionally or maybe regularly get beat. Time will tell. We still had chances early on Saturday to take lead and that could have seen a different game altogether.

    Dyson defend him all you want.

    It's him thats getting it wrong time after time.

    he's been in charge 13/14 games and as made 7/8 big formation or sub blunders. Not good enough.

    We are to battle, it'll not be pretty. We get that at Huddersfield.
    Shea's low on confidence or something similar yet keeps playing him. bringing him on and the 2K away support breaks in to song, Don't sell McCourt, Paddy McCourt will not do him any good but thats not the players fault, not the coaching staffs fault not the supporters fault IT'S THE MANAGERS FAULTS.

    He's costing us time and time again. Doncaster Away Sheffield Away Ipswich Home. Three games where HES cost the team 4 points easily.
    If people in the stand can see things 15/20 minutes before he's making the sub then thats a MAJOR problem.

    Okay but a yes or no answer

    Did he get it right in those three games?

    4 points, would have given us 30 points from 32 and we'd be sitting in 20th above Doncaster on Goal difference. Win our game in Hand and we are two points behid Blackpool with 13 games to go. I'd fancy us to get 3 more points than they do between now and end of season.

    He got it right against both Wednesday and Ipswich for me. I was proud of 'em v Wednesday and if you're slamming him for the draw v Ipswich who do we give praise to for us being 2-0 up in the first place?

    I didn't go to Doncaster but a 2-2 draw away from home isn't bad is it?

    Against ipswich Dyson it wasn't like it was out of the blue. They got at us for 30 minutes of the 45.
    Okay about Wednesday if you think that. Personally he should have brought a cb on and put cranie at rb.
    Doncaster were for the beating AGAIN. Two games they have got 2 points of us. we should have got the 6 and that could be vital come May (not, yes he wasn't in charge for the home game. )

    I will give him praise for the Millwall game. Especially when he went 1 up front, battled but kept the ball well. We need more of that.

    46 points could keep is up there season.
