hogesar 9,503 Posted January 2, 2017 I''m feeling more resigned than angry today but it''ll only take one of our players to pussy out of a 50/50 to get me going :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagster 101 Posted January 2, 2017 Very easy to say from afar LDC not so easy to do when you are one of the guys that put their hand in their pocket home and away.I don''t get to go that often so I woudn''t dream of telling people who do how to react.

nutty nigel 7,355 Posted January 2, 2017 This is just a symptom of where we are at and fans disillusion with the manager. When it was Worthy he wasn''t passionate enough. Peter Grant waved his arms about too much. Roeder...... was Roeder. He was too obnoxious for people to care. Hughton was too static and wasn''t demostritive with the players. And his team had an iPad. None of it will matter if we start winning games. Results are king.I''m glad I don''t have so many distractions in the blankets. It''s hard enough sometimes watching the game without having to keep an eye on the manager and the director''s box at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first 10 results of this season masked the bad performances, and had we got the results from these that the performances warranted, AN would have surely been gone by now. I would love Alex to turn it around Nige, I really would, but I really can''t see it now, he looks lost and his decisions bear this out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chesney Hawkes 0 Posted January 2, 2017 If he gets out thought by Steve McLaren today then he deserves the P45. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,355 Posted January 2, 2017 I think most of us would Daz. But I wasn''t even suggesting he would or he wouldn''t. Just saying that everyone is an individual and have their own manner. I doubt Alex is any different now to what he was in 2015. Hughton was the same in the 10 game unbeaten run as he was the day he got clappered. The boy Tom always claps. Peter Grant always waved his arms about and pointed. It was considered refreshing to start with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From my own point of view though, I pay little heed to the dugout and judge what has happened on the pitch, however, the post match interview and pressers reveal a lot about the man in charge, and I do listen and watch these closely. As for how Delia or Tom et all react to the result, I feel that they have always and will always behave the same way regardless of results, and their loyalty is to their flag as such. I wouldn''t expect much different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
