The zero fouls is more of a factor of our inability to get at them in their half rather than their lack of committment. They had 23 shots, 14 corners, hit the woodwork twice. It was hardy a stroll in the park.

Because in all the years I've been on NSC I've never noticed him post a single positive comment. Just continually slates the manager, players, tactics, the club in general. Mind you, you were rhe one suggesting fans who had attended the last few games must be stupid. Neither of you actually go to matches, do you?

I think you need to re-read what I posted. I was feeling sorry for them having to watch the crap they have been served up. Again, you are fitting an agenda to suit your needs.
My season ticket may prove you wrong. You really need to do your homework before posting.

Personally, I don't have an agenda. I just want to get behind the side for the final 4 games without a load of negative bullshit on every single thread no matter what the discussion.
Tony Bloom is not going to sack Chris before the end of the season. Period.
So all the sarcastic, denigrating, disparaging comments about a well respected, dignified manager who has served this club incredibly well, with success and integrity, I do also find incredibly tiresome.
Yes, it may well be time for him to go and people have that opinion. The way it's going with repeated comments from some people though is nothing short of disgraceful, and does absolutely nothing whatsoever to help our current plight.

As one of the more negative posters on here I agree with you. Just posting negative shit ALL the time is very tiresome. I do at least try and look for some occasional positives. I hope you’ve noticed

I don't think it dents our plight either. People are allowed, like yourself, to an opinion, if that is because we have been sliding blindly into the abyss people have an absolute right to make the comment, yes? Or should we all be happy clappy's and stick our faith into the dish we are being served?

Credit where credit is due, I've never seen the fouls committed statistic to equal the effort a side has put into a game. It's a new one for me.

Well its pretty hard to disagree after the Crdiff and Bmuff shambles that was nowhere near made up for the performance at Wolves. So which team are we going to get v Newcastle next week as THE key game left.

Just support your team, through good times and bad. It is that simple.
That is what supporting a football club is all about isn't it?
Make comments all you like, doesn't stop them being tiresome.

Hate to say it but I think we are likely to see better performances away from home. The collective sighing and shouting as soon as an error is made , whilst understandable doesn’t help. At least away from home it’s not so obvious.
Once we go a goal down and show no signs of getting back into the game it is turning more and more toxic at the Amex
An early goal against Newcastle would be awesome if nailbiting as we go back, again understandably, to 11 men behind the ball for the rest of the game but we may get a really supportive atmosphere.

Or, indeed yours. Keep up the happy clappy.

When you sit back offering nothing in attack, the opposition will naturally have plenty of shots.
We couldn't get at them because every time we looked like building an attack, we gave the ball away.
We have no confidence as a team and this stems from our negative tactics. We have nothing positive to focus on to help build confidence.

You forget the 15 mins after half time where we did seem to be playing as a team again but not really threatening.

Fans turning against other fans doesn't help anyone. People are entitled to their opinions.

I suspect I get a lot more enjoyment out of going to football than a lot of people do. It comes to something when being called 'happy' is an attempt at an insult. Bizarre really.

Always perplexes me, this booing thing. I don't do it myself, by the way.
So, you boo a player for making multiple crap passes, not trying enough, or having a piss-poor first touch. He then gets all nervous (apparently) and it makes him play worse. "Don't boo him!" we cry...
Conversely, we all get behind the team and cheer a player for making multiple crap passes, not trying enough, or having a piss-poor first touch. He then, assumedly, thinks he's playing just fine and dandy so doesn't really have to try any harder.
