   And buying Darren Bent

  And buying Makoun

   And getting Walker on loan.

   And developing , and introducing Bannan, Albrighton, Clark, Baker, Herd, Hogg, Delfounso.

   And trying to play more football.


  Its not all been bad decisions by GH, and tbh this was always going to be a transitional season.It appears that the chasms between the senior players and management, that were suggested by MM, have had a lot more of an influence on team results than we had hoped.

  Not sure why we want player power to win tbh.



I can't see many positives there. Sure he threw some kids in, but big deal most of them have now been packed off on loan.

With regard to the signings Bent was obviously a board initiated panic buy at a drasticallly over inflated price and  Makoun will never be anything other than a liability.

As for the loan signings whilst Walker is a good player, I don't think we should be loaning players from Spurs as in the long run it's of more use to them than it is to us. You didn't mention Bradley. I doubt we'll ever see him again. 

I see you're on Twitter now, Oliver.

Great post Andy, very well put and I totally agree. I wish everyone else did.
I know football is all about opinions etc but all this talk about protests and people actually really wanting us to lose is really doing my head in. It really is quite bizarre.

Even the bit about booing at half time?  Sure about that?

Durham and Wiki should hang their heads in shame. There is plenty to be pissed off about but can't we give positivity a go for the next home match?

This initiative is at least positive.

Nearly 500 members in that group too.

I wonder if the Mirror are being the typical Mirror.

The reason we did not protest in an organized way when we went down to the third division is not because we were complacent about it, quite the reverse, we felt very strongly about it.  In those days protests were very spontaneous things.   They just happened.   The most frequent flare ups by fans were over the coppers giving a fan a good hiding.

In these days of mobile phones and the internet protests can be organized very easily.   Other than that point ALITA I agree with your excellent post.

We didnt protest because although the team had gone down, the club was on the up. Financial re-organisation, popular widespread share issue, ground improvements, big crowds, purchase of the Bodymoor Heath land.

Thanks ALITA. That's just how I feel.

When we went down to the third division, it felt utterly catastrophic. I wonder how the crying protest plotters would feel today if the equivalent happened? As I said on another thread, my mate and I reacted by buying our first season tickets.
