    It's not difficult. There is a difference between "the fans" as one element and the atmosphere and attitude regarding him and his appointment as a separate and distinct element. Not all fans hate him.

    A proportion of, but not all, the fans and the media.

    I'm looking forward to Saturday's match . . . . a proper 3 o'clock kick-off and a proper performance where we win by a few. This isn't even just in hope 'cos I'm expecting that to be the case :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Discussions in our little village will be so much better next week :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Who was he referring to as outside noise?

    Dont bother

    Have you noticed the edited version of his 4 minute press conference? All of that has been taken out, almost as if the club realise he shouldnt be mouthing off like that

    Great thread except for the intro ...

    ... I don't welcome Stoke to the SOL.


    In fact I hope they have the most miserable experience since I caught my foreskin in the zip of my wedding suit and had to smile through the service, the reception and the honeymoon <laugh>

    Having to miss last Friday, i cant wait for Saturday. Few beers with the Branch, then with family, 90 minutes where i hope i still cant hear properly so i dont have to listen to the bloke behind me slagging off everyone, hopefully 3 points and walking out the ground singing Paint Your Wagon.

    I will also be giving Gooch a warm welcome home

    Not as bad as coming on a match thread, that RTB has spent quite some time creating, and not having the common decency to show a bit of respect.

    I've tried not to rise to the relentless bile from you, Bob, Chunks and a couple more but, ffs, do you really have to jump on every thread with the same hatred.

    Start a thread of your own, rant to your heart's content and I'll promise to stay off it ...

    ... anyone who likes the idea please like my post.

    If no-one likes this post I'll accept that and close my account for good.

    Settle down big lad. It was in reply to the pre match press conference about the match that's spoken about in this thread.

    Go and have a kip.

    There are literally multiple posters saying the same well before me.

    I make one post and you're booting off begging for likes or you'll close ya account.

    Bit of a reach no?

    Relentless Bile? what relentless bile would that be? I have hardly said a word negatively in days, if anything i have been one of the more positive posters, even trying to start new threads so the transfer thread wasnt clogged up.

    FFS.

    Edit literally the post above yours is about as positive as anything on here

    I’d be disappointed if he was still cutting about in that. First start wearing it Boxing Day 2022. Was never off his back <laugh>

    There is a separate "head coach performance" thread on this site so I respectfully ask posters to use it and use this one for Match Day topics only as Smug suggests. For what its worth I thought the reaction at the Hull game was nothing out of the normal and is being blown up out of all proportion by a few posters, to suit their agenda against the new head coach , Also the hints that there discord among the players which has affected their performance is ludicrous based on nothing more than wishful thinking by a small minority , which for the record I don't include Chunksafc . I am no fan of the current coaching staff by any means but surely we can give them a reasonable amount of time to change things around before calling for their heads. The timing would make us a laughing stock. OaU
