mate, the fans were completely drained at the time, all they wanted was to see a team that tried and i honestly can not blame a single person for how they felt, at least they still paid for a seat and went to try to support the lads but it has certainly become a far better place for lads to play i feel.
Absolutely! Let's face it, he's not getting a PL job any time soon and we represented the biggest chance he had of getting back in to the PL. We are easily the biggest club he will ever manage
Absolutely certain they will get Neil another 3 players before the window closes. Hopefully they are good enough to push the team on.
Good post mate. Back in my days of season tickets and home and away I only remember getting behind them, and young lads in particular always got loads of extra support. If it was a homegrown lad even more so. I still think we are that crowd and a lot of the negativity of more recent times was down to the fact we spent big money on people who had no interest in us, other than as a pay check. I never liked the groaning and whinging when I was there, but I did used to feel like some of the players we had were frauds. I dont think that of any of the current lot, and that is down to how we recruit and promote from within. I honestly think this lot will get supported to the hilt, and given every chance to shine. Just look at Cirkin and Clarke and how they shine for us, and we have taken them in. Neil, Embleton are a massive for us as well, and they will want success more than anybody. These young lads we sign will feel 10 feet tall when they play for us I reckon, and with Alex Neil supporting them all the way, and the squad as tight knit as it seems, I reckon it must be awesome to be in amongst it.
Here's a bit from Tom Whites podcast with Roker Report. He discusses a bit from when Natalie Sawyer interviewed Neil after Norwich's promotion........
Just listened to his interview and that's got to be the worst Scottish accent I've ever heard but I'm sure he'll get on really well with the LND
Jack Clarke will be an almost nailed on starter in our first team for as long as we can keep hold of him. It wouldn't surprise me if we use Bennette inverted off the right.
Also it’s good to have a left footed winger on the left when needed and the opposite. I doubt he’ll play much at all until after the break.
