Guest Swindon8er Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 No I actually predicted this on the way home, thought the fans were very fair today after what is on paper a very disappointing result, good to see, and hope the players can turn these fair performances into wins fast!

WTFiGO!?! Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 To be honest, SOD seems to have pissed a number of people off by the basis that he is introspective but outspoken. I don't actually think, for example, that he shouldn't berate kids for indiscriminately intimidating sad sags in front of the national media. Neither, do I think, that he should be cheery given the challenge of attempting to clear the midst of our seemingly interminable plight. I feel the frustration but don't have empathy for the ridiculously highly-strung and irrational nonsense one generally expects from menstrual women. You Reds!

Spike Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 SOD just can't win in more ways than one, if he says the fans were wrong for booing he gets criticised, if he compliments them and thanks them he gets called fake or accused of someone forcing him to! I'm sorry but I DO blame some of our fans because it feels like many of our fans won't be happy unless we bring in a big name manager (which is just not going to happen and is totally unrealistic) or we bring back Gary Johnson. I'm not saying all but a large number of our fans are fickle and just want results, we could play the worst football in the world right now, be dirty, cheat and play hoof ball and I reckon if it got us promotion more would be happy than not. I'm not happy with results but if it means we fix this club from the inside and end up playing better football I'm still willing to stick with SOD, as much as the results frustrate me. By now we should have some good results, that I do not disagree with but our alternative option is to sack SOD and replace him and at this point that will not help us if there is no realistic replacement options out there. I've seen the discussion on who we could get and it's a bleak list to begin with but add to that the fact that it's not just a case of "pick one" and our options would be very limited, especially for a club that is looking to go young and rebuild.
