    The problem is if he hadn't freshened things up for the last 6 games and we got beat then people would be blaming him for that (some of these are still blaming for changing the team).
    Maybe, just maybe, that if we get beat then it is because the other team was better on the day.
    Personally I think he was right in his thoughts/ideas, although I have been disappointed with the last 2 performances with an almost full strength team out (it was a long drive back from Oxford).
    I will hopefully get a ticket for the away leg and will be cheering them on as if the last few weeks haven't happened, because at the end of the day we finished fourth and the team deserve our full support.
    RLB has done a great job in getting the team to finish fourth with, yet again, a injury savaged season, which, if everyone was honest, they would have snapped the hands off if forth was offered at the end of last season, when a lot of people were worried about relegation.
    Let's all stop bickering with each other just because we see things differently and get behind the lads for these next 3 games (that's my positive side kicking in :1980_boogie_down:)

    Not a great result yesterday and I know most are struggling to stay positive but think I am probably the opposite.
    What I seen was good patterns of play against a side who packed the box and made it difficult. I must of seen at least 5 occasions where our players pulled out of challenges they would normally make.
    We created quite a few good opportunities especially from the wings and to be honest we should have gotten something from the game.
    That said they done there homework and targeted Cirkin knowing he was just back from injury, and it paid off for them.
    Not sure why we played with DN as advanced as we did and why Jobe is sitting so deep bit I guess there is some plan in place.
    It was great to see Cirkin back and he definitely will be a big player moving into the play offs.
    Also Enzo getting time in the centre as well will give us more options.
    There were a lot of positives from yesterday but the result has probably stopped anybody looking for them.

    Get ****ed Vic you owld creep

    I’m not a ‘fan’ either, I’m a supporter who spends good money every single year following the club. A fan sits at home with no intention of watching us live, that’s not me.

    That's just pure bullshit mate. I am a fan and a supporter and just because I can't get to games makes no difference.
    Ohh and just to explain the term fan is derived from the word fanatical. Maybe look it up. Also the term support as in being a supporter.
    You can have your little head to head about your opinions on the club and the manager but to try and denigrate other supporters and fans is not ok. Our club has a wide and diverse fan base but because you attend games you think your opinion matters more?
    Every match is attended by fans they are the lifeblood of the sport. A sport by the way that you support. Get off your high horse and have a think about what it means to be a supporter or a fan.
    Then maybe you may choose your words a bit more carefully.

    Strange post. Posted a few times after the game and nothing since 20.00.

    We only allowed to post positive comments then? I mean we have lost 5 on the spin or something and scored a single goal in 8 games.

    I really don't get people digging out supports who post their concerns.

    It's not right that posters who've broken no forum rules should be "called out" for a difference of opinions.

    Outrageous.

    No it's not. Exile got the same treatment.

    I am absolutely disappointed by the moderation by it all too. It's incredibly bias, weak moderation and I can see why others fell foul.

    Posting on here during the match raises my eyebrows, I find that outrageous. I’m lucky to get a signal in the ground and if I could posting on here would be the last thing on my mind

    Getting stupid now this every match thread there’s personal vendettas it seems, no wonder so many good posters have started staying away, dread to think what it’ll be like if we lose on Friday

    Since they sorted the 5g out it's fine. I post on here when I am bored during the game. Unfortunately that's a lot lately.

    Agreed. We are all adults. Shame there is a inner circle. All views, positive, negative and in the middle should be acceptable.

    I repeat, he does not want us to go up. Till next season, if an investor comes in the money pressure comes off him.
    If we don't go up, he the investor and kld will bring in a small wad of cash to keep us in top 1 to 4 next season.
    But that will depend on our sales of players.

    Oh and the pitch gets dug up after the rugby game.

    That’s your opinion Bob but I don’t believe it’s the case for a second.

    There isn’t a businessman in the world that would pass up being promoted into the money league (even if to go straight back down)

    No. It's not just value the authentic value of a forum. Not some weasel like behaviour like you. Constantly chirping up on new thread, the fact I and others have dared to leave a game early. It's pathetic, weak and just not needed. People can choose what they do. Literally 30 thousand or more left before the lap of appreciation yday. You calling them out ?
