I’d agree it’s not been “bad” and we’ve defended well for the most part, but what else has it’s been? Not exciting, fighting, no real challenge to WBA, just not bad

ifollow West Brom

Thought they are good. Actually naming players etc. certainly no worse than Robins.

That’s fine for those who can stand for the length of a match.

Yes it is, especially with other factors being less than attractive.

Pretty sure it was less than 10%?

Yeah same, so £80 for me and OH.

I do know what you mean it is difficult when someone you’ve admired, is being lambasted, but without labouring the point, it’s not without some justification.

Could it be they’ve caught wind that some fans think all’s not well so they’re posting out a very “smiley happy to be together team” photo?

I do get that it’s unpleasant reading at times and yes he’s done great things at the club as a player and in particular his time with the academy etc. but I also think the problem is largely one if his own making. It isn’t just the NP situation that his honesty and behaviour has been called into question, he’s clearly not always behaved above board, or in a respectful manner, to other managers either. Danny Wilson comes to mind. As I said in another post when you are found to have behaved dishonestly and get caught out, it’s very difficult to gain people’s trust again.

This bit must have passed me by. Really doesn’t make a lot of sense does it, given how many will potentially leave in the summer. Unless he’s already planning on bringing some of the youth through, but with far less senior players that’s going to be interesting. Thought it was quite interesting RH thanking BT right at the end saying “I know you were only going to be talking about the U18s” he’s obviously happy talking about the successes of the U18s, the first team’s problems, not so much.

I think it’s the “learnt little” that’s the problem.

Think you’ve hit the nail on the head in bold. When I was in a senior position at work, I’d have never have said to anyone, I deserve to be where I am. He’s either heard people saying they don’t think he does deserve to be there, or he’s struggling and therefore has to keep telling himself and others, that it’s not because he’s not up to it.

That’s really interesting so Leeds and Southampton’s average, younger than ours

I’d agree about TC but better people than me accept it’s about lack of service. I think to be fare to Pring I don’t think you can say a shadow on last season. There was Interest in him early season and he was great up until his injury. I agree players have to take some responsibility, but trying to explain why quite a few players are under performing, is difficult and seems to be more than individual player problems.

Accepted anyone else ?

I think the problem is, that once someone has lost a position of trust, it’s really difficult for anyone to listen to them with an open mind and anything they say can’t or won’t be believed. How do you know when they’re telling the truth? I’m afraid he hasn’t helped his position.

But who has kicked on?

Don’t question the support BT. Low blow!! So all we have to do is all get together and look forward and it will be fine. There you go guys. Simple.

It’s better than we’ve had before. If RH knows we thought the questioning was better it will give him the confidence to continue. I doubt GT was the same when he began as when he finished .

Not questioning whether people are working hard we want to know why it’s not working. Of course we know they want success that’s not in question.

He asked where’s plan B…. Glided over that or didn’t understand it.

Questions not bad tbf.
