long time red and long time reader

Hi all, long time supporter and long time reader of the site. enjoy the banter, comedic value and some of the threads and posters on the forum. Thought i needed to get off my arse and share some of my thoughts on the current situation. Hope I do not get shot down too soon....

I think its quite bad the manager getting stick for 1 win in 7, although granted I I have not agreed with all his decisions, but yet hecky didnt get a fraction of the stick for 1 win in something like 20 and a piss poor year. likewise under the current regime its not been great but he's inherited a terrible side put together under the last regime and manager. big difference I can see last 7 games is at least we scored goals, we were not scoring at all before. Also this clamour for 442. we were losing doing that formation. all this clamour for mallan and didnt change anything, all this clamour for hammil, we was losing with him in the side also, and many were asking for him dropped. we seem to have this view that the player or formation we are not using is our savour. he had no goals or assists. we have basically tried every formation, player and still lose. all this talk by some of if hecky was still in charge, look how he is doing at leeds with a way better side. 1 win so far... we gotta realise that this team is not good enough, simples. I think its about time the players take some responsibility and stop throwing their toys out of the pram. I do feel sorry that most were thrown in at the deep end in this league, but they should relish the challenge, appreciate they are doing a career most would dream of and are paid handsomely for it. We are a town full of honest hardworking folk, who would trade places with them any day. They should need a manage to give them bottle, or lift them fort games, yes it helps, but its about time they show some bottle and balls and get on with it and stop looking for excuses. That being said I do think alot of hearsay going round is rubbish rumours, and they its sad many are turning on the club and the new owners. They must be thinking what the hell have taken on.

It was unlucky enough today to come across a youtube video containing a fan saying the manager should **** off and that he is putting a tenner on us losing 4 nil. anyway, hope I am not shot down too quick for my view. Go easy on me.... lol

Ps apologies for the bad grammer, wrote this on my phone at 6am in the morning.
Thanks guys.

well said mate

 

In what way have the players thrown their toys out of the pram?

 

We didn’t play 4-4-2 under Hecky. Bradshaw played up front on his own 95 percent of the time not that I’m a fan of it.

 

Welcome to our madhouse.
Next time could you please write a longer thesis, but do remember that whatever you say will turn into a vindictive personal argument between people who start talking about something completely different.

 

Excellent post.

 

As usual with the long thoughtful posts some decent points and some rubbish

 

Ah, Love you long time.

Ooops, sorry wrong thread.

 

I said not to shoot down so fast ;=)

 

It's a 'like' from me, Longtimered, but I've a different outlook on....

Hecky - what he's doing at Leeds is irrelevant.
Malian - he was looking really good up until the silly mistake & his confidence was shot. I hope Jose has helped him get over that & he starts today. He's easily the best set piece / dead ball striker in our squad.
Hammill - some great wing play & should fair better with Mcburnie if given a chance. Again, if Jose feels he's ready, then would love to see him start today .
The side - we haven't seen the side yet & maybe never will. Hecky never had Mcburnie & Jose hasn't picked the right one so far. It's all about "the right one" and being able to win "any time, any place, anywhere"... . That's Jose M

 

didnt realise it would be so long, I think it was perhaps 3 yrs in the making (how long I have read this forum)

 

I think he had him for the qpr game. but i still have little confidence it would have been any better under hecky. constant negativity must have been a drain. but we just didnt look like scoring at all. I just look at how hes done at leeds with a way better side and is pretty much how it was with us. but like you says it irrelevant. that is why i dont understand how so many still long for him. not just what I have read here but also amongst fans personally. I love hammil, what he achieved that season. but he was average last season too. hes never really pulled up tress in the championship.

 

1st post and he said 'arse' ban him ban him!..... orrrr mebbe not , welcome new blood is always welcome, except mebbe not in places like Norfolk

 

Well that is ironic ,your one of the worst culprits for that on here
