    No one's doing that though ...

    ... but it's massively different to the state of the club on the 23rd of December.

    You can't pretend that it isn't.

    Most of the top six have said exactly that in recent weeks.

    We all need to be patience I think this is a long term project rather than a quick fix. It looks bleak football wise atm but we can't progress if we keep chopping and changing managers and systems of management.

    Couldn't believe it was our first away defeat in the league. My enforced pessimism hasn't allowed me to recognise that little Ray of light

    The club has changed @Smug in Boots and I try to be optimistic. It is just getting harder when performances are continually turgid and uninspiring. I am happy to give LJ support but I must admit if I am being honest I expected a better improvement than we have had. (other than Charlie has improved under LJ). Still I keep hoping that was the performance where we bottom out!! (one will be)

    Announce it on safc.com, and get KLD on Franky and Danny's podcast and see how he does on Danny's quiz, I think Lynden Gooch is winning at the moment <laugh>

    Nobody has to feel ashamed if they're pissed off atm. I'm ****ing fuming tbh. We're an absolute state on the pitch imo, the only thing that'll heal that wound is a nice announcement off the pitch, along with clear visions going forward. Because all we're hearing at the moment is soundbites from the head coach.

    Change the record..think you need to look in the mirror mate for that comment.
    You are never happy unless your moaning about something.
    Listen no supporter is happy when we lose but the way some people go on is pathetic.
    Whilst it is frustrating people have to give the manager and new regime a bit of time...not 14 games.
    This current time for the club is a fresh new start just have a bit of patience

    I can certainly see why people are unhappy but we need to put faith in the new structures getting put in place.

    Yes me too but the current mess we are in is largely down to the outgoing regime and people need to remember that

    All this guff about LJ being no better than Parky and we expected more etc etc is ridiculous.
    A manager can drill his players, educate the ones that want to learn, work on fitness etc, but players can only improve to the maximum of their potential. This squad is turgid and full of cowards. They are beaten to second balls and challenges all over the pitch.
    Until LJ or any manager for that matter has a squad of players with some talent and the desire and will to win that goes with it, they are fighting a losing battle.
    Although no one wants to hear it, we need to wait until the summer, get rid of those not fit to wear our shirt and press the big reset button with some decent recruitment

    So no negative comments are allowed and we just pretend everything has been fantastic the last three matches. No worries mate. If Doncaster beat us on Saturday i will come on and be as positive as i can

    I have never once said we dont need patience. I have said the job he has on here is astronomical and we are at our lowest ebb and you jumped down my throat for daring to point it out

    Not true, I haven't jumped down your throat at all.
    I simply stated that you are always moaning because you are.
    Everyone knows where we are but because of how low we have got the turnaround will not be instant.
    Lots of the current players won't be at the Club next season whether it's this League or another
