    The fans are always behind them. It is the team and not the fans that need to step up

    I was at West Brom, believe me there were a fair few that wernt. "youre not fit to wear the shirt" was clearly audible  on a few occassions as a starter for ten.

    If we go back to pre season. Most of us were in agreement . NP had a massive job ahead. He had to cut the wage bill , trim the squad & bring in a few players. He done that with very little money spent.

    Was it his fault that the previous CEO, & Lansdown saw fit to let 12-13 contracts run down meaning there was no value in any of those players . 
     

    The squad has been in decline for over three years now , the style of football dreadful for all of that time.

    Most of us agreed it wouldn’t be turned around easily & would probably get worse before it gets better. That where we are now. There are still 5 players in my opinion that need to go . However with the financial constraints , we can’t just get rid of them & spend millions on replacements. I don’t envy NP at all. It’s a thankless task at the moment.

    most of us also said , staying up would be a achievement .

    However , we have the usual suspects on here & the wider fanbase expecting  more. We’re not going to get fast flowing exciting football with this squad. I posted before a ball as kicked , this season will be a grind. 
    Pearson can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear . The players just simply not good enough at the moment. 

    This, However frustrating it is we have to hold our nerve - the team needs the fans behind them. full stop.
