im spartacus canary 0 Posted September 22, 2013 There are very few posters fighting hughtons corner now ? where as a month ago the message board was divided probably 50/50 between happy clapping pollyannas and panicking pant wetters. Have the last couple of performances been too much for calm old heads ? I notice a lot of posters have sneakily changed there stance [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReadingCanary 0 Posted September 22, 2013 It''s hard to fight Hughton''s corner when nothing is changingI honestly believed last year was the transitional period and we would be very very impressive this yearAppears I was wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,651 Posted September 22, 2013 I''m not pro or anti - still firmly believe we played pretty well in the main yesterday,there were some good signs and we were rather unlucky to lose. If things are still ''good'' with the squad/manager/board then more time to gel his squad might be fair enough.That said, maybe things in the dressing room aren''t good and so on - something I dont know about; there were some possible ''signs'' yesterday: BJ not in the squad (confirmed no injury/reason), Olsson unused (no idea why), Pilks/Garrido spat, Snod taking the pen when RVW on pitch (this on its own wouldn''t be a biggie, but in conjunction with other things may suggest sth).If the latter is indeed a sign of a ''lost'' dressing room, it might be better to sort sooner rather than later.

nutty nigel 7,526 Posted September 22, 2013 I''m now neither a pantwetter or a happy clapper. I''m now officially one of the biggest tw@ts on this message board. I just need to find out who the others are so that I can take action to secure my status as #1. I was waiting ''til 10 games before yesterday and I''m still waiting ''til 10 games now.

Have the last couple of performances been too much for calm old heads ? I notice a lot of posters have sneakily changed there stance or in the real world the subject of relegation was not even mentioned anywhere on this forum a month agothe term pantwetter derived as a joke at the expense of those who from around last January until the end of the season predicted our CERTAIN relegation, with every little fault however small leapt upon as prove of that belief - the were wrong ... badly badly wrongthose mocking this ragbag of johny come latelys and glory hunters were those who saw how decent the squad was and also recognised how bad other squads were ie we would not go down ... they were spot onso as you appear to have a skill for multiple name use do try and use it so as to refer correctly to folk on hereps as to trying to score points it might be better for you to tell us what other names you post under so we can judge your views on this matter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ricardo 7,380 Posted September 22, 2013 Yes, they are stll pantwetters if they are forecasting relegation after only five games.We need to see a dozen results before making any informed opinion, until then it''s just pantwetting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''m saying you need to look at the league after 12 games before making anything like an educated forecast of who is going down. We may or may not be be in the mix so pantwetting at this stage is a waste of time.If you are saying you want to change the manager after 5 games then that''s another question altogether and nothing to do with pantwetting. People are always concerned about relegation because for most teams in this league it''s a constant worry. Pantwetting is forecasting relegation on the strength of our position after 5 games. It''s ignorant and pointless, there is nowhere near enough data yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted September 22, 2013 Had Snodgrass put his penalty down the middle yesterday and we got a result this message board would have been a very different place.Those questioning the bigger picture with Hughton would have carried on questioning while the self-righteous aren''t we stoic brigade would have carried on lecturing as they probably did whilst sitting on their hands over Roeder, Worthington or Grant.But those small things didn''t happen, the mood has changed and while some are facing up and saying they have changed their mind the clique pant wetter mockers are changing their tone and will keep doing so until they feel they are safely ensconced with the majority.How fickle is that? On one game?! Have some balls and defend your man. If you thought Hughton was the man last week then surely you should continue to back him, and your opinions.

Highland Canary 76 Posted September 22, 2013 It''s the continuation of results since Christmas. The run of matches is around 25. More than enough to form a judgement. For what it''s worth my view is that the manager has until the mid-November break to improve things. Whatever, I can''t see any of the current management team here next season.

morty 0 Posted September 23, 2013 Seems to me that some people are more interested in sneering and being proved right, than they are in actually supporting their football team.Am I happy with the results? No I''m notAm I still backing Hughton? Yes I am.Is it too soon to sack him? Yes it is.Will I continue to support him whilst the board does? Yes I will.Will I reassess my opinion of his ability to keep us in this division after ten games? Yes. Is anyone calling for his head right now a pantwetter? Yup.

I am not calling for CH''s head, ''cause it won''t solve anything atm and it is still too soon.But Morty, surely , you are not happy and you agree we need a serious response from the team now!Will I reassess my opinion of his ability to keep us in this division after ten games? Yes. Is anyone calling for his head right now a pantwetter? Yup.I agree with most of what you say here Morty , I have to say though that I am a very worried supporter. Especially after the game on Saturday. I don''t think there was good management. If Snograss took the penalty and wasn''t supposed to, I would have taken him off!!! We could have used Tettey or BJ in midfield and I don''t understand why Olsson isn''t getting a go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
