yellow_belly 227 Posted September 25, 2021 After another loss, I haven’t seen Lakey pop up with some very positive spin. Can someone check on him? I hope his ok… perhaps he has come over to the sensible side believing that we am are doing rubbish and something needs to change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yellow_belly 227 Posted September 25, 2021 I agree. Perhaps he went to the game and can now see how rubbish we are. Boooooo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Paddons Beard 2,701 Posted September 25, 2021 Let’s hope he is still coming back from the game. It would be good if one of his many lectures was given after he has actually been to a match. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,781 Posted September 25, 2021 FYI otherwise engaged today. All I would say is stick with it, another away game next and still only 3 points off the team in 17th place. OTBC 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’re probably right, but when confronted by the grim reality of inept performances week in, week out, I think many have grown rather weary of the naive philosophy that “All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds” (Voltaire).

To be fair most of it is good banter. Lackey always tries to be a glass half full kind of person which in my book is a good thing that all of us can aspire to!

While I didn't go to the match and actually couldn't even follow it this afternoon, I have listened to reports on it and it seems we were more at it in some ways today and that is encouraging news. The penalty was (which I have seen) definitely dubious and VAR applied wrongly and reports say we kept at it. So inept sounds a bit mistaken. Anyhow, as Normann said in his interview today, it's very small margins and I think talk of "inept performances week in, week out" is just as wearifying as anything positive I might have to say. Incidentally, the quote you attributed to Voltaire, was actually by Liebnitz....... Edited September 25, 2021 by lake district canary 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing worse than being offended on someone else's behalf. He wouldn't post on here if he thought he was being bullied. Ludicrous comment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
