I was there and there were still quite a lot in the ground at the end - well. relatively speaking! And some of us stayed to applaud the players off, even though not sure they deserved it. The fact that those who are still going are chanting 'Allam out' should at least prove that those still going are not 'Allam apologists.' Whether we attend or not, we all want the same result - just have differing views on how to achieve it and how best to support the club, which is bigger than the owners.
I find the arguing between fans who go and fans who don't almost as soul -destroying as the regime.
I agree with the arguing between fans, unfortunately me and Chazz are a good example of that thanks to the owners. Will do my best not to respond in future. I don't see fans going to matches as apologists but those trying to claim going to games makes them in someway superior in terms of their opinions, thats something else. We all have access to match feeds and can all express opinions.
 
if we lose to rotheram on tuesday

then officially in the ****

a win though?

If we win, then Adkins is a genius, best man for the job, our players are great, made some shrewd buys in the transfer window just needed time to gel, we're gonna win the league.

Football it's an emotional roller coaster.
 
Anybody using the 'I go to games' false premise for an argument at the moment is really a tool with things as they are, respect to all fans going to away matches though. Anybody staying away from the KCOM deserves full respect with things as they are.
No one used that ****. I said you didn't go so won't know what went on. Did you go? No.
So you can't comment on what those who were there witnessed.
Now go pick on another erroneous point and repeat it to make yourself feel good,

Good stuff. I do think we need a bit of a truce on this. I've personally taken the view that I've watched Hull City for 50 years and not going to stop doing that even though I'm fed up with the Allams same as everyone else. The 200 mile trip home felt a long way last night! But I do get that seeing a half emply stadium MIGHT hasten their departure. Then again it might discourage a potential buyer. Its swings and roundabouts.
 
I’m still going. I couldn’t give a **** what other people think. I’m doing it for me. Not to gain the approval of anybody else.

I enjoy watching City. If I stop going, then that’s the Allams having control over me. And that isn’t happening.
I don't get how you stopping going means they have control over you.

I feel the exact opposite.

Everyone is free to choose whether they go to games or not. It shouldn’t be up for debate.

If you believe it should be up for debate, or have a problem with people attending, start a thread. Outline & justify your reasons. I’d be happy to see them.

As somebody who has, in the main, stayed away from home games since before we were last promoted I appreciate a performance review of the team from somebody who attended the game over somebody that didn’t far more.

And again you make things up and present it as a fact. You're a ****. A smug ****.

You have said before going to the kcom is selling out and backing the Allams. You're a ****.

You give respect to the away following, not the home. You're a ****.
 
Think the most worrying aspect of the team so far this season is how isolated our forwards look. I like Nigel but to see Evandro as a second striker is nonsense - he hasn't the pace or physique to play up there and he isn't linking the play as a number 10 as I hoped he would. So Campbell battling alone, while Bowen on the wing was nullified by Blackburn putting 2 players on him, and we don't have a left winger in the team. And then our two midfield players are so deep that effectively its Campbell and Bowen on their own and rarely within 10 yards of each other. Surely given the 4-3-1-2 isn't working he should try something different, and was very disappointed that he didn't at least try Dicko and Campbell for the last 20 yesterday.

Agreed.
Evandro may be better as a sitting midfielder, got a good brain and sees danger. As you say he isn't pacy and doesn't break forward at all.
