So yes the club should stump up. We can pay all.Unsworths cast offs every week for doing not very much at the moment it seems. Well I went on Saturday, spent a fortune and came back well pissed off. I don’t expect a refund. Seen loads of shit performances on my travels over the years and no doubt will see a good few more, but I won’t be asking for my money back after any of them. I’ll moan and groan all the way home while sinking a few beers, then move on to the next one. Its the price of supporting a shit football team I’m afraid. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every home game cost me pretty much £200 with travel food drink etc and it's not been great the past 20 years or so has it! My main point was we have not heard a whisper of an apology from anyone at the club. If I was offered a refund I'd not take it as most I would imagine, but it would have been nice to get a sincere apology for the performance and perceived lack of effort from the manager or captain or someone. Hey ho we move on to mighty Aldershot on Saturday 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that it’s not going to happen, but it would have been so refreshing if one of the senior management had done so. “We were abysmal, we let the fans down, we’re going to work hard to ensure it doesn’t happen again” or similar … 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this doesn’t come under the category ‘apologising for everything’ does it? This would have been a recognition that it was an absolute disaster on the playing front - from team selection and setup, through on pitch performance to no reaction from the manager yet. It may be that Unsworth will acknowledge the shambles in his pre match for the weekend - let’s wait and see. I cannot be doing with the modern trend for sound bites and ignoring the fans.

We're not disagreeing. I wouldn't have a problem with Unsworth saying that last Saturday was completely unacceptable. It will probably be a good while before I get to see them again in person but I'd like t think I'd be able to see a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latics22 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 An apology is unsworth admitting he got something wrong and it’s his fault on some level. Something he isn’t good at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Tic Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I am a bit surprised there’s been nothing this week reporting on the defeat, not an apology as such but an acknowledgment of it being the worst possible start and a pledge that this will be rectified Come hell or high water moving forward. Nothing from the chron (times) and nothing from the club site. As long as we pick up at least 6 points from the next three games I’ll be relatively happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However at the very least I’d expect an acknowledgment that it was piss poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyyou Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 If DU says nothing it will be treated with derision. If DU says anything it will be treated with derision. I am sure that directors, management and players are well aware that the performance at Southend was totally unacceptable. On balance, I think I would rather see demonstrable action, starting this weekend, rather than listen to platitudes 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an acknowledgment really that it wasn’t acceptable, then a demonstration in the next game that it was just a “blip” and go out and show the long suffering fans what they’ve been training for 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frizzell54 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 No point apologising, it will be same again on Saturday. Also the Board promised him at least 18 months so we can write this season off unless he sneaks into playoffs and gets lucky. Sorry to be so blunt.

I suppose it’s like anything really where you invest time and money , I’m talking more for the poor buggers who travelled to Southend to stay over and then get served up that. In Addition the anticipation and yes expectation that we would be provided with at the very least a reasonable display of football. Then getting on for a week of complete radio silence without so much as a nod from the manager that this Saturday and beyond will be different is odd, to me anyway. No begging on his knees for forgiveness , just yes, we WILL do better for you in future . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
