As I said on another thread, if you really think that a march is more likely to put three points on the board then great. Trouble is all it does is cause more pressure on the team/club and helps the others around us who will take heart at the fact that we are putting all our energy into pulling ourselves apart rather than saving our hides.

No I don't believe that we will win all of our remaining matches Ginge, but until we are mathematically down there is time to save ourselves.

I agree, but it is still a bit of an eye opener when you look at what people have achieved and how they are viewed....and I am ceratinly not advocating that points haul was the only reason that Branfoot was unpopular.

I have just read the full article and to me that is what he was doing, calling for support. Perhaps he could have phrased some bits better but it must be very frustrating when you are trying to fight war and elements of your own side seem to be against you and what you are trying to achieve. The only people who are going to benefit are the other clubs around us who are also fighting to stay up.

Post of the week.

I agree. Everyone needs to put their differences behind them until the end of the season and pull together. If the worst happens then there will be plenty if time for recriminations, finger poining, *****ing and blaming then. Divided we fall. Somehow we need to find the Dunkirk spirt but certain characters have already decided it is over and are throwing petrol on the fire. There are points to play for and safety to be won. People like Wiseman should shut the f*ck up until our fate is sealed. He is just making things worse.

Points per game - Jones 1.18 Pearson 1.14 Branfoot 1.11 Branfoot was vilified and Pearson is a hero. So the price of failure is .03 of a point?

Agreed, so lets give Wotte time to see if he can do just enough before we hang him out to dry.

It hasn't all been failure and no club our size is immune to this stuff, Lowe or no Lowe. Take a look at Charlton, the team that many of her were saying we should emmulate a few years ago. We did incredibly well to stay in the Prem for as long as we did and a lot of that was down to the Board at the time. But every year you wondered if this would be the year we go down. Finances play a bigger and bigger part of football and if you don't earn the big bucks you are stuffed. The climate where a young and and coming manager like McMenemy can come to a "small" club and take them to the heights has long since vanished. Even the famous 'Arry threw in the towel in two prestigious competitions to try and keep his team in the Prem. If teams like Spurs struggle how we ever going to thrive long term, Lowe or no Lowe?

Yep, I must have dreamed that we made a cup final, Europe and our highest Premiership position under Lowe. Things were so awful then weren't they?

What if he does a good job and turns things round?

I hope he does better than Pearson. Despite her hero status on here by many he actually didn't do that well. He did just enough. 3 wins in 13 hardly set the world alight did it? As for Wotte slagging off the fans. I believe he made comment about some fans, not all. Any manager would want the club to pull together at a time like this wouldn't they? The bloke has only just taken over. Let's give him time before we decide that he needs to be lynched too shall we?

Thing is Duncan, if by marching it guaranteed that we stayed up and meaningful, postive changes were made within the club, Id' so go for it. Hell, I'd even join one and carry a placard. But all this and other marches do right now is to create further negativity around SFC which is the last the the club needs at the moment. I have no doubt the lad means well, but frankly I would rather see him yell himself horse at the game, that at least would go towards building a more postive atmosphere/vibe.

Then I am sure you lot will have a field day tearing him apart.

Oh dear Duncan, you are trotting out the old you don't go to matches therefore your opinion is of no importance line again. Funny that. I go to more games than Alpine but I don't see you using that arguement against him. Here's an idea, why not try turning all of this negative energy into postive energy and getting behind the club 100% until the end of the season. If things are still rubbish then use all of your negative energy in the close season to try and affect change for next season.

At the end of the day what difference does the age make, I don't see any problem in a football manager wanting fans to use their energy supporting the team and getting behind the club. This only makes his job harder. If it makes his job harder it makes it harder for us to stay up.

I think you are over reacting a bit aren't you. If you read Jonah's futher comments they make perfect sense. Don't you think it is all a bit odd that the only people that the mob rally behind are children and jumped up shop stewards? Is that really the best we can do? Oh andWotte can be as disgreeable as he likes and can have the dodgiest hair in the world as long as he drags us out of this mess.

Actually Mark, at 16 he should probably be looking to play right back for us!

Look on the bright side, he probably doesn't write it at all it is just churned out by our brilliant PR machine!

Yeah, it is probably more like a shoe box wedged under a chair somewhere

Not at all, but do you ever really give up hoping that the next time maybe....?

Why wouldn't you want a picture of a train on the wall of a football club board room? Perhaps we could send Doncaster a picture of Take That by our trophy cabinet as a parting gift from the CCC?

Sounds like grounds for divorce to me Rich!!! I did get dragged to a Michael Bolton concert by my partner but am trying to show her the error of my ways by taking her to see The Killers on Monday. Anyway, back to the thread. Surely to raise the cash to put the concert on we would have to sell a couple of players???

If you woke up every single day of your life, looked out of the window and it was raining, that is what the negativity here is like. It pervades everything, every thread. Given our circumstances you might expect a certain amount of gallows humour but no, everyday we get the same old same old. Of course you are going to get negativity on football forums, goodness knows we even had it when we were pushing for the plays offs, but there are people on here who thrive on it and rub our noses in it every day. If you don't want your heart broken or your hopes crushed, best never date girls or support football teams eh?

Take That out!!!!
