Would you stop going if Flitcroft got the job?

    I didn't participate in this thread, but I'll happily admit I didn't want Flitcroft. But him (or anybody, even Blackwell) being manager was never keeping me away from the club I love.

    I am even more happy to admit that my initial fears (that Flicker was merely Keith's sidekick) have so far proved unfounded.

    Fully behind the bloke. But would rather he selected Bobby....

    A really great reminder to people of how fickle fans are. An even better reminder about giving people a chance and being patient. PATIENCEp IS KEY.
    "Failure Flicker" indeed.
    Good to see more positivity. Lets hope we can retain the positivity about Flicker even I'd we get relegated cos he wold be the man to bring us back up.
    Less fickle more flicker

    Just proves how reactionary people can be. The exact opposite is happening now to say how brilliant Flicker is.

    We've done well, changed system but had more than a fair share of luck since he took over. Challenge will be when we lose a couple on the bounce.

    Enough with the realism mate, you're fooling no-one!!! You are right about the share of luck though. Bad that is. We were very unlucky not to beat Posh and Ipswich and have 8 straight wins! :D

    Haha fair shout.

    In 5 games we've finished playing against ten men twice, scored a flukey one v Burnley and got 3 last minute goals. Deserved luck, mind.

    The harder you work

    The luckier you get.

    If we've done nowt else since Flitcroft took charge we've upped the work rate massively.

    I don't think we've been lucky at all under Flitcroft.

    Neither we were particularly unlucky under the berk. It's just that he was fecking useless.

    Why is scoring in the 89th minute any luckier than scoring in the 48th?? The game is 90 minutes plus, teams only have themselves to blame if they don't play to the whistle.

    Can't really see how a player getting a deserved red card is good luck either.

    I never said I'd stop going, I said I couldn't understand why they'd give him the job. And I think that decision was made easy for them following the Leeds win, I said then that I thought that would prompt them to offer him the job.

    I hope he succeeds, and lets just hope this isn't just the new manager honeymoon period.

    Agreed, it's about playing the full 90 mins, about a defence staying focussed as well. The top sides are there because they don't switch off and keeep going. All Man Utd's injury time winners have little to do with luck but more about fitness and keeping focussed for the entire game. I hope we get a lot more late goals

    I didn't go yesterday, pal. Doesn't stop me from commenting.

    Knock yourself out. You're a well-valued contributor to this ere forum. **** what others say.

    Still hoping you can do as I did and put the 'issues' behind you and focus on supporting the club we love. Your call, though.

    Because it's the perfect time to score, the other side's got no chance to react. Perfect when you're low on confidence like we were v Burnley.

    And of course it's lucky if the other side go down to ten men. Everything Flitcroft is doing is working at the minute. The challenge will be when it's not.

    And agree about earning your luck. Don't agree that we're working harder now than before. Always been impressed by how much we press teams, difference now is we're quicker on the ball.

    I agree that that will be a challenge and a test but he (and Mellon and Scott) took on a massive challenge after the mess Hill left behind.

    Agree. And we've had the ball in the right areas and with the right players more often.

    Perkins was bollocked against Burnley for a short throw! Unimaginable under Keith.

    Look at the first goal yesterday. I know we hit them on the break but we had four players up top. Keith never managed to get enough players forward so that's why we didn't score.

    Different ethos now.
