you had some pretty strong comments to make 6 weeks ago when i suggested we were a mid table side. at that point you couldnt stop telling us what a brilliant free scoring side we were and how promotion was a formailty.
remember you said the johnstones paint loss was in a minor cup, of no signifigance compared to the real cup, you know, the one we were dumped out of yesterday.
now we are officially a mid table side you seem lost for words.
perhaps you are just following your leader, mr d. wilson and refusing to talk about it.
feel free to enlighten us as to when we can expect an upturn.
Did I say promotion was a formality?? I really don't think I did seeing as I never believed that. I did however say that I am uninterested in the Johnsons Paint Pot crumb from the big table and I'll stand by that. The FA Cup?? Could be worse, could have been Tamworth. We lost at Hereford last season, we lost at Hereford this season. And??
See we'll have to agree to disagree here because we're verging on the old 'hidden agenda' argument again. I don't believe there is one. I think the team is in a poor run of form and I believe they'll turn it round. I don't however think they'll do it on your terms. I think they'll sort it out for themselves and I don't think they'll sort it out by booting the manager out.
When people say 'ask MK Dons and Bristol City' they seemingly forget that Danny Wilson left Bristol City because they got beat at Cardiff in the play off final and his arm was up his back at MK Dons because Winkelman spent all the money on yet another oversized stadium. If he took us to Cardiff again would you want him booted out?? Do you really think he picks players just because he likes them and doesn't just because they're popular? Do you think he does that despite losing games?? Surely he'd be in a backwards jacket in a padded cell somewhere and the key would be Uncle Kens desk drawer.
No-one is more frustrated than me at the current run of form but haven't we all seen it before?? Tip: Pop your Into The Millenium DVD in and sit back for an hour.
For part of that season we were abominable, hopefully we're coming to the end of a repeat of that. No-one seems to disagree that we have the players to do it. To suggest that they simply don't want to was one of your favourite arguments pro-Joel Porter earlier this year. I never disagreed with that, you simply don't make it as a professional with that attitude as Kolley very informatively explained.
It'll pass and it'll pass fairly soon. I really can't imagine that anyone in the club is happier than you about it.
