Where as 50,000 Newcastle fans would of turned up expecting a victory against us, should they ignore that result as it wasn't expected? using a win over Rotherham as proof of an upturn is laughable, I did not say upsets don't happen and nothing is a given, but the bookies are not rich for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it, I definitely heard Johnson out against Fulham once the 2nd went in. Also heard 'we're ******* sh!t, unsure which stand it was from though.

Good god your bending over so much to try to make a argument that your in danger of snapping your spine.... they have valid points on Rotherham and keeping a clean sheet against them says nothing about the ability of our defence, other than their not as shit as the worst team in the league by far.

When the proof is there if you look at the fixtures / results list. And you're just reiterating my point, bookies are rich because the unexpected happens & that is why people take part / watch all sports or competitions because no one has a right just to win. Whichever way you look at it, Rotherham was a positive because it halted our run of games without a win & games without a clean sheet & will of in turn given the players a bit of confidence (or more than they would of had during our 8 consecutive defeats). I just don't understand how you can see the result as irrelevant? Those 3 points are currently helping us stay out the relegation zone. If we hadn't of won that game, player confidence would of been at an all time low & we'd be in the relegation places. Norwich, Wigan, QPR & Brentford have all been beaten by Rotherham, if I'm understanding your reckoning right, they should all be below Rotherham as they've all lost to such an awful team?

Well **** it then, let's just ask the league to give Rotherham 2 goals & they can have the win because we're shit!! There is no irrelevance in the result, we had to turn up & win the game, not just be given it!! If we had lost you would of been getting even more upset, it's like some people are only happy when they have something to moan about & I'm starting to think that us losing would actually make some people happier as they'd then have a reason to moan.

Hampshire reds Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Fingers crossed for a win tonight. If we do get a real beating I feel that's it for Lee. It would be wrong of the board to keep him in charge for the Burton game on Saturday. Can you imagine the atmosphere at the gate if Burton take the lead. The support need a lift a new manager will give the whole club a massive lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
