This wanting GR out stuff is getting really boring!!

I don''t understand how we can expect to go from narrowly avioding

relegation last season to being at the top of the table this season. 

It''s like Bolton fans expecting to be chanllengeing for a top 4 spot. 

Ok the start to the season hasn''t been great but we are doing better

now than what we were last season.  These things take time and I for

one believe we are playing better football with a better squad of

player than we did under PG.  It is proven that success is achieve with

a manager being given time at the club for the long term, Eg Ferguson,

Wenger, Moyles, O''Neil, Curbishly, Allardyce.

We need to manage our expectations and say lets give GR 3 years to

build a squad which can get us into the Prem and stay there.  If we

made the playoffs this year and went up I think we would only have a

Derby season and noboby wants that.  We are still at the beginning of

the season right now and we shouldn''t really pay much attention to the

table until Xmas.  I think we will have a solid mid table finish this

year if we keep GR and I will be satisified with that with the

expection that we push on next season and get a playoff spot.I don''t often post but read this message board most days and I''m getting tired of reading the same old doom and gloom.  This message board can be a pleasure to read as we have some very witty and funny characters who often make me laugh out loud when I''m mean''t to be working.  So common guys cheer up, the season has just started and it can still be a success if we get behind the team and realise the a mid table finish would be a good season when you consider we were nearly relegated last season.

[/quote]I''d agree we are playing better this year. The results haven''t gone our way but the quality of football has, on the whole, been much better. If only we could score some goals!

This question might come back to bite me on the behind, but what was our record after 11 games last season?

It''s all part of the master plan of lowering the fans expectation levels and unfortunately it appears to be working GH.

Goals win games and points get you up the table but if we fail hey at least we are playing better and we have a better squad so i am told.

Yeah right.

Exactly Graham. Performance wise, yes we are better, but performances dont buy points. Without that winning mentalaty we will never start gathering points.........We dont have a winning mentality people. Who''s fault is this?? If Its not Roeders can somebody please tell me whos responsable? Its been racking my brain for three years now and I want answers.

.......and before you blame the board, remember this. Roeder promised a team of new heroes, Ive seen nothing but a team of quiters with no winning mentality, Its a tough league, sure it is, but given our support (thats the one thing that keeps me sane in these situtations) surley we deserve better?!?!
