Yes you are right, the football over the last three seasons has been poor, however there were occasions when we managed to string two or three passes together. We don't seem to be able to do that against teams in the bottom half of the Championship.
Just got back from the game. I have been going to UP for over 50 years, and I can do without any lectures about loyalty. These last few games have to be the worst ever. If anyone comes on this site and starts complaining about negativity (that includes you Iain) I shall reach for my gun.
There seems to be a feeling that being critical on this site and booing your own team go hand in hand. There is absolutely no logic in this argument. I like to think I give credit where it is due, e.g. where would we be without the current owners, but when we have a mid-field that on paper is the best or at least one of the best in the division and then against teams like Watford and Doncaster we bypass them by hoofing it up to the likes of Maynard, who is never likely to win balls in the air, then I think we have a right to air our views, otherwise what is the point of this site.Incidently, I have never booed a player or team, not even Ince and Defoe.
Yes, you are right Tom. The negativity on these pages is a reflection of the negativity in the way we are playing. If Sam showed a bit of positivity on the pitch the majority of fans would get behind him, despite the odd set back.
I don't understand inbredjesuits comment (first post). I thought your analysis was spot on. Particularly concerning Collison, who given time will recapture his previous form and potential. Taz Ve does seem to be a bit of an individualist and may well take time to settle in to a new team. He is a proven goal scorer in this division with I think 10 goals with his previous club.
Agree with USHammer with nesting and with posts appearing in the order they are made. And thanks for involving us.
Sam's surprised us all with a refreshingly attacking formation. Let us hope we win and it is the start of a more adventurous outlook.
Have a look at Hotmort's post. Puts me in the shade. Can I assume you are from Kildare? My dad was from Dublin, the next county. If my geography is right that would make you both Leinster men
Like Doppo and appyhammer I too am coming out of the closet. My first match was in the I950s and I stood on a box in the chickenrun, but I don't remember the opponents. Ted Fenton was manager and I clearly remember John Bond, Frank O'Farrell and Malcolm Allison, before the era of Moore, Hurst and Peters.
