Since our nasty fans aren’t there, there’s no excuse why we shouldn’t be expecting a great run of form until the end of the season then, right? P.S. I never boo the team and yep, the crowd getting on Dawson’s back in 2018 didn’t help anyone. On 26/06/2020 at 12:22, bigthinrob said: Quite possibly might be an issue that works to our advantage. As for "nasty fans". Same as last post, grow up, smell the coffee. We aren't perfect, stop being so defensive & acknowledge it. Your prediction that having no fans in the stadium was going to work to our advantage is turning out to be a great call. Do keep telling us what an awful set of fans we have though and that we should all “acknowledge it” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s quite frustrating really. I just don’t subscribe to the bizarre theory that our long-suffering fans are in any way to blame for this. The fact that there are no fans in any stadia currently, yet we still continue to average less than a point per game show up this theory for what it is, total b*llocks.

It's not the fans. It's been a combo of poor players, managers and bad decsion making at boardroom level. We're no different to any other set of supporters. Look at the dark side of the city.. When Wilder took over they were bottom of League One and getting absolute venom from the fans. Serious abuse. What changed there to turn their fortunes? It certainly wasn't a change in fan attitude. Our problem is that since the Prem, amongst the poorer players & managers, we've actually had some great players, middling managers but no real stability at boardroom level. If we had a combo of Strafford's enthusiam, Milan's savvy and Chansiri's money, we'd be in a much better place. Can't we get them all to team up??!! Edited July 8, 2020 by The Horse Tired.

A man that has destroyed the club from top to to bottom . The sooner Chansiri gets out of OUR club the better and let's move on. DC has been a disaster, but no owner/ chairman will ever be as bad as that cretin Dave Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a word - highexpectations Every manager says that about every team frustrate the home fans or keep them quiet for the first 15 minutes etc. I dont think Wednesday fans are any worse than others in that respect. I went to a Blackburn game when then Venkys took over and the fans that boxing day were poisonous and as bad if not worse than at Hillsborough. I've been to Old Trafford last year where the moans and grumbles were almost exactly the same against the players. The problem at Wednesday is the recruitment has been terrible for years bar a few couple of gems. There hasn't been many players with the character to play at a big club or under pressure of expectation. They all join the club saying we are massive etc., say we should be Premier League then crumble under the expectation and then some how the fans get blamed. Recent history we haven't cashed in on players when they have been at their highest value and then smartly reinvested it. Chansiri's lack of acumen when it comes to football, business and the fans is where the club really falls flat on it face and if it lacks it at the top that will just roll down. Blaming fans is an easy way out and in the grand scheme of things have such a limited impact on the performance and score (no fans in the stadium now) I find it bizarre that the ones that often show blind loyalty and throw money hand after fist are blamed because of ineptness at the club from.the players to management to the board. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are done and will be a league one team next season. Although it reads that way, I can’t see Biggs knowing any more than anyone else. If it had been decided it would have been leaked. I take it that he means we need points to cushion us in the event of a deduction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
