    Very decent of you to apologise, I have made comments on other threads about the off field issues, which come from frustration of us wanting to be the best off and on the field.

    You might want to read the post again that wound you up, a small but subtle difference in name of poster :emoticon-0100-smile

    About time we have a coach for 3 seasons. Would love it to be this lad. I can see every reason in his track record to think he is the man, if we back him. Honestly think he matches up with us.

    Very decent of you to say mate. I do love the branch, a really decent crowd and trying it's hardest to keep it affordable and encourage the younger members to keep supporting us

    Big deep breaths and hold it for a few seconds, if you can. It helps.

    Intercostals are absolute pigs.

    I would honestly say 95% of us didn't want Beale, I stated on this thread the real reason I was against him was because I didn't have a clue who he was, never heard of him so didn't really fill me with much enthusiasm.
    I also stated that in his first 5-6 games nothing was really seeming to change from the mundane, predictable slog we had ended up watching under Mowbray.
    I have also stated that in the last few games I have seen a massive change in the way we have set up and looked so much better.
    I will admit I didn't have much hope that he was the man for the job, my opinion is changing quite rapidly.
    However what I didn't do was state from day one he would be a failure, non of us knew this. It was also relentless everyday of posters stating as fact that Beale would have been sacked after 10 games that he was utter ****, couldn't be a head coach.
    It amazed me how certain they were when they really didn't have a clue how well he would do.
    I'm actually warming to the bloke even more for how he has just carried on his way no matter how much abuse was been thrown his way.
    I also don't understand the hatred from some towards the owner who has us in the best position we've been in for years and if the fair play laws come in as suggested we are years infront of others at being self sufficient

    That's the only part of your post I'd disagree with mate.

    I'd say 5% of the support was screaming so loudly another 10% were carried along by it and the other 85% just wanted to see how he was. I find it amazing that the some of the same people, who said Beale didn't have enough management experience, wanted Dodds who has none.

    Screaming in public is contagious, apparently.

    And thereby lies the pitfalls of the internet, things can easily be taken the wrong way ...

    ... I sometimes say things on here, to people I know personally, that must look horrendous to people I don't.

    @SAFC_Analysis
    Our two lowest expected goals against at home this season have came in 2 of our last 3 matches against Plymouth (0.42xG) and Hull (0.35xG). Are we starting to become a lot more difficult to play against?

    Clubs like Watford, Coventry, West Brom can easily do the trip on the day.

    It's a stretch for us and, the quicker you book, the cheaper it is.

    I don't believe in jinxes so always book early <laugh>

    I damaged an intercostal muscle hoying rubble into a skip and ended up in A&E, I thought I was having a heart attack. Felt a bit daft when it turned out it was just a muscle tweak but the level of pain and proximity to the heart was a worry.

    As Exile says deep (as deep as you can) breathing helps the discomfort and also helps prevent it. Since my little incident I've incorporated deep breathing into my pre weights warm up and no issues since.

    I suffer from rinusitis, have done for years. But not so much now. I started flushing my nostrils several times a day with Athomer Sterile Isotonic Sea Water about 6 months ago and now follow it with a couple of squirts of Beconase at bed-time. Most nasal sprays end up making the problem worse, but not Beconase. I now have clear nostrils during the day and in bed. Just a suggestion if you have not already tried it.

    I thought he was just waiting for the sack after the Hull game and the press conference that got some people's backs up when he talked about outside noise, usually on borrowed time when you start having a dig at the fans.
    He's done well the last few games and improvements have been evident compared to his first few games which didn't look to have much improvement on Mowbray.
    3 unbeaten now, and games coming up where we could put a good run together
