The Great Drinkell 50 Posted February 18, 2009 Right readers, I have been investigating the reasons - according to this board (message) - as to why we are currently in the bottom 31) the board are bleeding useless couldn''t run a bath etc etc (although they have achieved promotion in the past)2) the management team have no experience and should not have put themselves in this position. - after all they''ve had three weeks to sort this out. 3) the keepers dodgy too many mistakes - forget about the match winning saves for the moment4) the defence is awful / not interested (all 7/8 who have played there this season?)5) the midfield is weak can''t pass and are always caught out of position.(although they have contributed to a fair few goals between them)6) The forward line can''t hit a barn door from 5 yards are not upto it (actually I don''t think I can say much here!)7) the Fans well we''re fantastic - we DESERVE better we are hard done to etc etc etc. Well now''s our chance to prove it. When you are in a hole you need to turn to your strengths to help and support your weaknesses. I lay down the gauntlet to you all. On Saturday can YOU stay positive for 90 mins accept that the useless lot in front of you need to be encouraged/supported from start to finish - oh and in between (remember Portsmouth 5 down against Arsenal in the F A Cup a few years ago).- Let''s practice what we preach, being the best supporters isn''t about how we react when things are going well it''s when your are needed most when things just aren''t happening. That time is now until the end of the season. - if we can do this then IMHO we will stay in this divisionThe last 2 games have been narrowly lost against good teams - Bristol could have easily ended in a draw and Preston beaten once at home all season. It''s time to believe.Over to you O.T.B.C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
