The level of defeatist cr*p went way beyond 'genuine concern', even "given the circumstances". You are obviously a better fan than anyone else. May I suggest a round of applause? Maybe, just maybe and I include myself in this you are just more optimistic that others. It's nowt to do with being a true fan or not. I salute your optimism but wind thee neck in.

Owlsend Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 To be fair I was one of those fans with the new manager in charge and only having four days of preparation for is new team with the amount of injuries we had. I didn’t think we’d actually get beaten massively like five nil. but I did think we was going lose And I think I almost prepared myself for it. But after watching it I will eat my words I came home from the match last night thinking theres still a chance we can get a few wins on the run with this new manager organises team very well one of two more injuries coming back is looking good.

Athelwulf Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I didn't think we'd get hammered 5-0, but I did think we'd lose. What's shameful about that, bearing in mind the injuries we have? United have beaten better teams than the one we fielded last night at the Lane this season, after all. Cootie is an enormous loss for them; without his passing, they tried to create things in and around the box, which led to overplaying the ball. We know all about that here. We were sloppy and complacent in September, but his absence last night was a significant difference. Also, Carlos made the fatal error of believing that our midfield four could match their five. Our main hope at the Lane was new manager syndrome, which thankfully was the deciding factor. Tuftenbauer was clearly displeased. The sour-faced g*t.

I genuinely had a feeling we may nick it 0-1 and stated this. As the pressure was all on them and we had a new man at the helm which normally does bring an upturn in confidence and application. So being honest ill take the 0-0, but I'm still feeling a little sad that we didnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't and just out of interest there are a few posts of mine that refer to CCs 'project' having run its course. I was personally of the opinion that DC was right to show the loyalty he did towards CC, and that he had earned the right to have another go this season, but it became clearer by the day that it wasn't going anywhere and that it was reaching its natural conclusion. We were ready for a change and JL is a superb replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Sadly - predictably - this thread quickly descended into a slanging match However, I agree with the OP regarding negativity It's almost reached epidemic proportions this season, and so far there's no cure in sight I'd say since the 0-0 at home to Bristol City (not such a bad result in hindsight) threads had become deliberately provocative in nature Inciting argument rather than inviting debate A lot of it (IMHO) being unreadable and best left alone You'd think Carlos' departure would at least lighten the mood in some quarters but no We had the chairman's 'message', the appointment of our new CEO, and the fact that results hadn't magically improved once the main culprit was out of the picture Indeed, some bad feeling seems to have followed him down to Swansea - and I can't imagine what these fans hope to gain Jos' arrival raised the mood and then news of the latest fans' forum flattened it again But that seemed to go well so could we now look towards the derby with renewed optimism? Huh-uh Or at least, not without skip-reading the views of our resident pessimists Football's a rollercoaster, we all know that Ups and downs, highs and lows We buy a ticket to share the same thrills and spills But it spoils the fun when some of the other passengers seem so determined to throw up everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones that were predicting Armageddon against Barca United should reflect on their so called support and in future should react accordingly. Normally agree with you on most things, don't on this. I was afraid we may lose, maybe even heavily if the players turned up (or more appropriately didn't turn up) like the Burton game. I still watched the game in the Hope we could win and obviously wanted us to win By no means does it makes me any less of an Owl or even defeatist, I thought we could still win, but a loss was more likely. It's also what the Bookies thought so it's probably more about being a realistic than a pessimist and certainly not defeatist. In a similar vein My mother has just been seriously ill, I was frightened and worried that something horrible may happen, I obviously didn't want this to happen I wanted her to get well and obviously still loved her (probably told her so, more than at any other time in my life) Sometimes you fear the worst, that doesn't mean you want it to happen fare from it I think you're confusing Wednesday fans fear of losing to meaning lack of support in most cases (nearly all) this is not the case.
