Pigs got promoted with a team full of Fox/Palmer type players. Reliable, hard working players who get the job done. Its the "better" players who perform 5 times a season that let us down.

My point isn't necessarily about Fox and Palmer specifically, more that you'll get further with less gifted players like them who are reliable and put the work in every week and, than you will with Forestieri turning up 5 times a year or a load of expensive crocks grabbing one last pay day like we have had in recent seasons.

The fact still remains we aren’t good enough if Fox is one of our best players . I don’t see how what the pigs achieved has anything to do with our situation but it seems to me it was the system that got them up, don’t like drawing comparisons with anything they do , Edited March 1, 2020 by dewsburyowl58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geniunely don’t know how bad it has to get until the Chansirites like yourself realise the damage he’s doing to our club Love the binary thinking. You’re either a “Chansiriite” or you’re whatever the opposite is. No room for anything in the middle. It’s either black or white. You think he’s absolutely wonderful & hasn’t put a foot wrong or he’s an absolute villain who had deliberately tried single handedly tried to ruin the club.

I said this about 3 years ago, we need a beast in middle of park, Pelupessy isn't the player, Hutchinson is on occasions but is either injured or suspended too often, whilst on some occasions even he doesn't look good enough. Luongo shows promise but nowt special, maybe Iorfa could be given a go in midfield, Monk seems to have tried different things, some bazaar, Pelupessy and Forestieri at wing backs, so surprised he's not tried this one yet.

torryowl Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 if people cant afford it / cant take that we are a badly run club then I can understand them bailing out …I don't think its fair to ridicule those that stick with em with the "true fan" label . I think we are all fans on here and some will go and support the club no matter how bad we are and some wont …….its what fans do that's why clubs at the top have rising attendances and those at the bottom don't and if by some miracle we are in some play off final at Wembley next year we'll have 40000 scrambling for tickets...…...

Whilst this is largely true, yes you need the hard working players but you also need a manager who can motivate players, install belief, get that extra 10% out of the limited ability they possess and above command respect, the pigs had Wilder, we have Monk, enough said.

gillyno9 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Fans have a patience threshold. There was a dreamy relationship in 2016 because we nearly achieved something when no one expected us to. that in turn raised the expectations from owner to occasional potg punters. Ticket prices soared, bang average merchandise was produced late at exorbitant prices, match day experience worse than ever. slowly but surely (myself included) fans have run out of patience with the current structure and will stop attending games and buying said merchandise. It’s a personal decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VBQ24 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I've said before, I've been going for 20 years in the hope that we would finally "get there". My patience has very nearly worn out due to an owner who does not know how to run a football club gradually making a bigger and bigger mess of things. Ten years ago I still had some blind optimism, but I think the two Playoff failures followed by recent events have left many fans jaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think Bruce was the one to take us to the next level, he seemed to have control that other managers including Monk don't appear to have been given, things were definitely heading in the right direction under him. I feel Carlos, Joss and Monk are all undermined and have no more to do than take training and get the squad ready for match days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
