New Head Coach

Yep him and ekwah being jeered off of the pitch. Vile

 

If we were top and ten points clear with two games to play, you'll still get folk posting on " how ****e " the atmosphere is.

 

I sit in the west stand and the atmosphere was ****e. I remember early in the season when read to go came in, it would echo around the ground. Lucky if you heard it slightly near the end of the season

 

I bet they do nothing to contribute to the atmosphere

 

Mate in my stand if you start singing and chanting you get stared at as if you’ve just **** in their prawn sandwiches

 

You can look at his whole career and see how much of a bang average steady championship manager he is. Exactly what we needed at the time but was never going to have a long shelf life. Getting rid wasn't a mistake, it was everything afterwards that was a balls up.

 

Just having 5 minute catch up.
I take it there is little happening on the new head coach front.

 

We have gone off track here from the thread, which is expected like due to the absolute silence on the head coach front!

Saying that I'm in the East stand, in between half way line and the North Stand. Away fans sound louder than the south stand on most games even if there is a small allocation, mostly due to them sitting upstairs in what is essentially a massive megaphone of a stand. Said many times before moving the fans up there was a huge mistake with regards to the atmosphere.

According to prehab’s source him and scout have heard there should be news today. What that news is regarding no one knows

 

It's confusing to me how you can accurately diagnose what Mowbray can offer, but not how that is exactly what we need.

It is unlikely we are ever going to have the funds available to us to effectively challenge for the top-2, considering the teams that come down will have Premier League money and players (Leicester, Leeds etc), plus there will always be a team or two who are throwing money at getting promoted (Ipswich), this means we have to build towards being a side capable of winning the playoffs. That is exactly what Mowbray was doing. We got rid and finished 16th. Fail.

 

Crowd imitates society's growing feeling, "I want it and I want it now".

 

Been a mental day at work today so just getting caught up on the many pages

But yeah i heard similar to prehab in that there could be an announcement today

I was told that we have really positive talks with a manager and they are really keen to come - still a few details to sort out though. The person that messaged me, sent me a message earlier saying today is a huge day - im taking that as its decision day from all parties but that is me guessing as thats all I've had from him

Always wary of passing on info as dont want to give anyone false hope as weve been here before but thats what I've been told anyway

The person that told me is pretty reliable and not a sh*t stirrer so no reason to not believe him

 

I've banged on about this for a while. In my opinion,the atmosphere in our stadium is nowhere as good as we like to make out it is. The build up is reserved at best....it does create an atmosphere,but it often seems muted. Most people seem to want to stay in the bar on the concourse than get into their seat and create some noise. And I've never been able to understand why Wise Men Say is so short.....there's one verse and that's it....takes about 30 secs.It's almost like we can't get it over quickly enough.
I've said before on here....I've taken friends and family to a match,and they have been very underwhelmed....often surprised and disappointed at how it lacks as to what they thought they were going to get, so much so that I've stopped taking visitors.

 

Yet the crowd got right behind Beale when he was going through personal stuff which he praised us for! That seems to be forgotten tho and everything is the fans fault.

The crowd weren't happy because the football and results were **** that is all.

 

Thanks mate.Are we going to be happy with it?

 

We mightn’t have 10k empty seats if we were in that position though so the atmosphere would likely be better. It’s becoming common theme for visiting fans to say they didn’t hear a peep from our fans all game unless we scored. Only one end bothers to sing and since we found out we were playing Newcastle in the cup all they’ve sung about is the mags which is embarrassing in its own right.

 

The atmosphere in most stadiums these days is pretty poor. It's only really away fans that make noise in the majority of the bigger stadiums.

 

Appreciate the snippets of info mate, just adds that small amount of hope to many frustrated fans.

 

In his first 8 league games we only lost to Ipswich and Hull.. we had a 50% win rate, took a point away at Boro and dropped 2 against Rotherham. Hull had one shot all game anarl so that’s not true.

Edit - Apologies forgot he’d just walked through the door when we played Coventry, didn’t include that.
