How do you feel right now?

[solo]

How I feel ... Bored 

 

bored of the the style of play 

 

bored of the interviews and pre and post match press stuff . 

 

No longer surprised at what I perceive to be a lack of care to supporters ( feel like a number not a person ) 

 

bored of attending games. 

 

Me done till next season.

[steveger]

I feel confused right now, don't know whether to have a bacon butty or a sausage butty, or i could be greedy and have both....

 

when she comes in from work to cook them obviously, after she's made me a cuppa and done the hoovering and all that...

I can't believe some of the flak on here

Have folk forgot how far we have come in a couple of years?

 

If someone 3 years ago would have told you we are playing that well and scoring that many goals we can afford to have Hooper and Rhodes on the bench you would have laughed in their face 

 

I for one can not wait for the next match , I'm going to love pulling a couple of 20s out to watch the onslaught 

 

I understand the point of being thankful we are in a much better position, but I don't accept that our past means we can't also have concerns about how this season has gone.

 

This season hasn't been good enough, and how bad we were before doesnt make a difference to that. Yes, we are all delighted to be in a better position overall, but being crap years ago doesn't mean we should be expected to accept the current season.

 

The owner and manager both said promotion is the goal, and CC has repeated this in the past month, saying we are looking at and fighting for the top 2. Compare our season to Wolves, who is really gunning for a top 2 finish?

 

They set the bar, along with the reasoning for the high ticket prices being the cost for successful attacking football. This season isn't living up to those expectations. Not even close.

 

The only season that matters is this one. Not 3 years ago. Not 5. Not the 70s. Being crap years ago doesn't earn you a bye.

Makes for interesting reading this now that there's a fair few numbers involved.

How representative is this of Owlstalk?

How many people use this site?

How many of the 372 who voted actually go to matches

50%+ of the respondents to this survey say they don’t have a season ticket. Don’t we have about 20k season ticket holders and our average home attendance is about 22k (minus away fans). So a survey of season ticket holders would be more representative. I’m a 3 year season man so difficult to say if I’ll renew , esp after following for 50 years! But my newly enrolled 8 year old is bored out of his brains now and last season he loved attending. 

[pachyderm]

like 1 point is better than no points...

[fred mciver]

But it's not just Carlos.

 

You only gotta look at Wolves to see what might have been.

 

If DC only had got a top recruitment guy to help him.

Many of us who have been going for years have beeen through ups and downs and will keep going regardless. The point above is worth noting the type of fooyball we have served up in last two seasons is hardly likely to encourage support for us. I took my young lad yesterday and it was a cold day and think highlight of it was warm pie. Quite certain he would have been happy to go home at half time. Also the type of fair we are serving up will not encourage coverage of games by Sky so less TV money. This was noticeable last season where games were not covered as frequently in last third of season.

Football has always been that way.

When I was eight I had a top & Whip, a Tennis ball a battered pedal car and a family Television where the linehold had to be reset every few minutes. Looked forward to the match with my dad but the ratio of good games full of goals was poor. If you take an eight year old along to the match in this day and age you must do so with the expectation of a low boredom threshold. Nothing new.

Carlos should do a q+a on radio Sheffield like wilder has done but he bottled the opportunity. 

 

 

Don't be foolish Tinks it wasn't an opportunity for Carlos. It was an astute decision not to fall in with the RSFH narrative.

How do I feel right now?.

Well, I feel fine, been out with our lass, had a couple of pints, well 5 actually, and I feel that there is more to life than Football.

In other words.

GROW UP, life is not about SWFC, or any other form of addiction.

[parkfieldowl14]

Total Frustration with CC and his Negative tactics.That's how i feel at present.Time for DC to sharpen the axe.

 

[Pinky]

Happy as Larry. Off to Mauritius for my honeymoon and don't have to suffer CC's negative tripe for a few weeks!

[Frazzlebeak]

Is the person who thinks we will get automatic promotion in Ranby?

[DorsetOwl]

I’m just watching Huddersfield v Man City ... thinking that could be us playing them in the Premiership !!! .... Carlos so lost my support in the playoff semi finals against Huddersfield last season and I can’t believe he held onto to his job. This season has been dreadful and the further recruitment and squad management poor .... where has that flowing exciting football gone of two seasons ago .... cannot see us going anywhere at all this season !!
