Popular Post @owlstalk Posted September 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2020 “The reality is, and everyone should realise this, that the ramifications of relegation from the Championship are huge on the club, it’s people losing their livelihoods. “We’ve seen it before at other big clubs, the club can change forever, so knowing that and having experience of that situation, is key, putting that across to players. Not in a way that they’re fearful, but in a way that can galvanise them. That’s what we’ve tried to do. “It’s a big, big season and that’s why we talk about needing the fans. I know they’re not in the stadium right now but we need them right behind everything. “Even when it gets tough and there are some bad results in there or bad performances or whatever it might be, we need calm in that support.” “It’s the bigger picture. We need to look after that and fight for that and that’s what we’re trying to do.” 48 21 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 True words there. We need to keep a lid on the negativity where possible and get behind the squad. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted September 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2020 For me, the key phrase in all of that is: "we need calm in that support". And that cuts both ways. The extremes we've seen on here in recent times don't do us as a fanbase or the club as a whole any favours. There's no point listing the clubs Monk's been sacked by to try to prove some wider point after every defeat, but equally there's no point posting a form table or win ratio stats for the season after a solitary league game. The two extremes just encourage each other to up the ante whenever a result suits their take, with neither particularly interested in the detail or reality of the situation. We're in for a battle this season. Level heads are going to be needed. 42 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwokenGiant Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 No truer word spoken! Put it into perspective for the players and the fans! Seems like the players have bought into to it, hopefully we can duly oblige. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast Forward Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Bit of a muted rallying cry I’d say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinowl Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Also not a fan of his but agree. Posted up something very similar on a thread recently that we as fans need to stay calm when the inevitable first defeat comes. I think there’s enough quality in the squad to stop up but let’s not think it will be anything else other than stopping up because it won’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriwozgod Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Every single one of us will get behind any Wednesday XI that gives their all, even though the minus 12 isnt of our making. Maybe this site could take a lead as some of the threads started seem hell bent on dividing the fanbase at the moment. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOwl72 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Unfortunately it’s not the players or the management and administrators that loose their livelihoods (or if they do they get a nice pay off) it’s the people that keep the club going. - ticket office staff, ground staff, office staff etc etc. Sort your team out Chansiri and Monk and make sure it doesn’t happen! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick one or the other if you feel Neil is divisive today this minute, right now. Yes or No? 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s quite bizarre isn’t it that people’s minds work in this way, I know one “fan” who will actually admit he wants to us to go down so he can be proved right about Monk. Crazy!

Dizzys Dad Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Clean slate needed. We can’t change what’s happened, It’s much easier to put things behind you, and make progress, if everyone around you is supportive, rather than waiting for you to fail. Staying up this season is ALL that matters, and we as a fan base all want that, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this site could take a lead as some of the threads started seem hell bent on dividing the fanbase at the moment. No they don't For instance yesterday I posted a positive thread saying 'hey everyone! now we've won three games on the bounce, kept three clean sheets, got Rhodes and Windass scoring etc - does that give you a little bit more confidence for the season ahead?' and got BLASTED by the Monk Haters for it. 5 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
