Kept up my unbeaten away run this season Portsmouth Crawley Sheffield utd now forest.

Not so good at home so gives us an away draw anywhere and we'll be there.

 

No basis for this but I reckon it will be someone of the ilk of Steve Eyre

Dickov can undoubtedly attract good players and is good at PR. the problem that has been identified is that the coaching staff have not been able to get the team performing on the pitch to their perceived capability,hence the changes. We need good coaches and motivators not a father figure to shadow . The other major problem lies in the transition of those that graduate from the youth system into first team.

I'm not even looking forward to forest that much now , even with my old bovis shirt primed.

 

Fed up losing the faith quickly

Losing faith

He told their no 24 in the first half you've got 5 minutes to improve or your off. Within that time they had scored and he was involved.

Is there a correlation between how much earache the 4th official gets which subconsciously makes the officials take a negative view of us? To be fair a lot of our bookings are for innocuous/technical offences.

I would of had them training last night after no effort showed yesterday plus making them do the bleep test to make sure they had a recovery session for today

I was in the JJb gym one Sunday evening when Brian Noble brought the Wigan Rugby team in for extra training on the way back from Yorkshire after they had been thrashed. Thats the way to do it

It's interesting that with derbyshire,Baxter and wabara we have gone down the league, flattered to deceive?

I think Simon has a problem he has been down every route,rookie,experienced,recommended by Wenger et.etc. what tack would he take next .?

 

 

Baxter, we've seen his quality, Matt Derbyshire - played in Greek Prem and English Prem, Croft - played in the Prem and Championship, Furman - international player, Wesolowski - played in the Championship.

 

You'll say they were all in this reason for a reason but you can say the same for the Trannies' team. We all accepted the individual quality was enough at the beginning of the season and when we was in good form so why should it change when we start losing?

There is nothing worse than continually losing when you apparently have the quality.

I am sure that Jenny will take on the additional responsibilities in a proactive manner. So why not close this thread and let her get on with the role without all this questioning and super analysis of every new initiative that the club is involved in. Good luck Jenny.

Did anyonelse think it was going to be given offside I paused and looked round to see the referee I then saw him point back to the centre circle and behind him I saw Paul Dickov break the Olympic high jump record before proceeding to go mental like everyonelse did.

 

Theirs plenty of times when we have all wondered why we bother at all with this ,when we inevitably play crap we will wonder why we do it again but its moments like that, that make all the time and money we spend following our team around the country come rain or shine feel worthwhile.

Well said that is why we put up with all the crap we just never know when it is going to turn in our favour I really think it it is turning our way bring on th FA Cup

 

 

I presume Sheff U , swept along by the feel good effect of the sportsmanship shown in the Olympic Games , will be dealing with this issue which showed their club in a very poor light , with the manner in which the opposing team were inhibited from getting the ball back in play.

 

Shameful .

I agree it wasn't just thisnballboy as soon as they scored theywere dilatory in throwing the ball back shame on you Danny Wilson and sufc

Football league show disgraceful journalism,no more than we should expect ,propaganda sucked in to bigger clubs just like the ref today

when I first heard it was "racist insults" I thought it was a rumor, simply the way their fans were acting and the fact that noone has heard anything official as to what was said (said on another thread that after the Adeyemi incident we knew within a few hours what was said/alleged) the ball boy himself apparently didn't hear anything. time will tell I guess

 

did anyone else who went not find it a bit ridiculous that the police were so quick to kick our fans out when they stood up near the front, yet one of their fans is allowed to get half way across the pitch and in our players faces whilst the police amble across the pitch?! double standards, inbred ****s

Yes i thought that was ridiculous usual stewards out to cause trouble with away fans

We were saying that the ballboys were delaying throwing the ball in After they scored so the crofty/ball boy incident wasn't isolated Sheffield united and Danny Wilson should be ashamed of themselves if this is how they want to get out of this division we don't want them.

 

All in all a great performance Matty Smith has the knack of getting important goals and his goals to minutes on the pitch ratio is probably up with the best.

what was the 'sat on a swan' chant all about?? i was completely confused and so where some others. great support by all who went down yesterday, didn't hear anyone complaining which was a pleasant change.

Don't know for sure but there were swan shaped rowing boats on the boating lake at Southsea

 

Brown at full back to push on and give croft some help and more potency.croft was stood on the half way line most of the time on Tuesday.would move Byrne into centre and give tarky a rest

 

 

How would Penney have reacted to it? Accepted it as part of the plan or said that it wasn't good enough and that it needs to be put right?

Same asPD, howeverPD has more goodwill from the club and fans,not an ignoramus,however he is using up his goodwill factor fast.

As someone said before it really did feel like a Dave Penny game.

Beat me to it ,full backs not crossing half way line and supporting wingers who then track back to support under pressure full back.Absolute garbage ,Penney was hounded out for this.

I think it depends where you have been brought up.

 

At uni my mate was a Hull City fan but when he was a kid he also supported Sheffield Wednesday (when they were one of the top clubs). When I asked why, he said it is normal for people in Hull to support another club, because a) Hull were usually routed to the bottom division and people also liked to watch good football and b its the only team around, so everyone in Hull "supports" Hull anyway making it extra boring for lads (and lasses!) at school in the pub when debating football, if you all follow the same team.

 

I think for older people there is less issue with supporting different teams as well. My dad is in his 60's and just enjoys watching football, he has been an Oldham season ticket holder for years, but he is a Carlisle fan but his original club was Workington before they went out of business, so he didnt have a choice he had to support a new team. Living in the lakes they also went over to watch Newcastle and occaisionally up to Scotland too!

 

I think it is quite a modern thing to be proud to support or only go and see one club. I know City fans in Manchester who go and watch teams all over the place when they can't get to City.

 

My second team is Chester - I haven't seen them for a long time, as I am never out that way any more, but if I get the chance will always go see them play and cheer them on.

That's interesting I grew up in Whitehaven and my first ever football match was as a Workington supporter I then followed Carlisle in the 70s and moved to Manchester and supported united. When I got married and moved to Oldham started going to latics with my wife and have been a season ticket Holder since.although I have soft spot for carlisle an man it'd latics are number 1

I'm in almost the exact same situation and simply can't afford £183 for a season ticket. Regarding the £10 ST offer I just can't see the point in it if you're going to lose the majority of the fans that have benfitted from the offer when they have to pay 'proper' prices. Why not introduce a scheme where the price of your ST increases every year until you get to 19 and then you must pay adult prices as this is the age when a full-time job is more likely. Having this offer is brilliant in getting new fans but when they have to pay another £173 or 1830% extra or however you want to say it once they reach the cut off age most will not come back making the £10 ST offer pointless in an economic sense.

Well said

I dont know how many times I have mentioned this both on here and in e mail to the powers that be, but after the age of 16 we lose so many fans. They don't win the lottery when they are 16 and most stay in education. Part-time jobs are harder to get now and they simply can't afford it. Even with the appallingly advertised intermediate ticket which I am sure has restrictions as to where in the ground they can sit, the price is too high. We simply lose them, a price for those in full time education and or up to 18 of £100 or less would mean that we keep more fans. Compare this to the cost of the lost generation say 100 per season *20 seasons of ongoing support £300 per ticket = £30000p.a. lost revenue,£600000 in lifetime revenue, no wonder we are in the state we are.

 

As any good business knows it is easier and more profitable to keep existing customers than get new customers.
