Instead of just sniping and blowing hot air out of your backside, why don't you, just for a change, try putting together a reasoned argument for one of your contrary opinions? You'd find that it's so much more rewarding.

Seems like me a number of long term season ticket holders will not automatically renew. To my mind this is an entertainment business and with the current tactics it is like watching the same show over and over again. Boring tactics playing the ball sideways and backwards in our own half often leading to losing the ball or a panic clearance. Very few goal scoring chances and players seemingly unwilling to shoot. Added with the lack of investment on and off the field I feel relegation is only a season away. It's a shame that as a private company the directors aren't able to be questioned as to where they see the company going in the next five years. I think Parish owes it to the fans to give some updates as there seem to be a lot of disillusioned fans wondering what's going on

it wasnt aimed at anybody in particular, just in general...and it seems to peak to insane levels whenever we lose a game.

hand on heart, who thought we would win yesterday? i didnt given that we all know sheff utd are having the season of their lives, and coupled with the fact that we very, very rarely take all 3 points when teams have the gameplan of conceding possession to us, to enable them to focus on stopping wilf.

fans complain we play the same every week, so do most teams in most leagues. brighton, bournemouth & norwich try to play nice football and look at where that getting them. I will add we do actually play good tight passing football, and there is a lot of nice neat tight interplay in the oppositions half but we just cant finish our chances, not roys fault, not Steve fault, not dougs fault.

at the start of the transfer window we all wanted 3 things, a full back, a winger & a striker...we got a striker (wouldnt be my choice, but a striker nether the less) we only failed to get a full back due to a failed medical, and tried for 2 decent wingers. ok it didnt work out as we all would have wanted, but nobody pulled up any trees this transfer window really.

look at the market the owners are working in, the striker brought in is on £100k a week, its not easy and i would rather we signed nobody rather than just signings to appease fans.

it is probably a blessing in disguise that STCC has been removed from the agenda this season as we probably wouldnt have been able to sign ayew or tosun this season but we cant just continually throw good money after bad.

At the end of the day everybody looks at every situation differently, and thats fine but i honestly believe we are where we should be in this league given the size club we are, and given the meagre resources available to us, would I like to see us with owners like wolves, yes of course i would, but we dont so theres no point getting wound up & moaning about things we have no control over...if you break it down and really look at our situation from a subjective manner we are in a halcyon period right now, and we should be enjoying it, because if / when we eventually our holiday in the sun ends, losing £50m a season in the championship and getting our arse handed to us in the form of points deductions & fines will make our current situation look like the dream scenario.

be careful what you wish for, because the grass isnt always greener on the other side.

southnorwood...

yet with all the negatives you state, before yesterdays game we were 3 points away from 5th place.

mental how bad things can be perceived, especially after a not suprising loss.

but if we had taken our chances we would have beat them comfortably and everybody would now been salivating at the prospect of the chance of european football next season.

Is it the actual football that is dire or the finishing and .: the results that are dire? because there is a difference.

also, what different tactics would you suggest would work better with the squad we currently have?

we tried to change our style from counter attacking to taking the game to teams with pardew and that didn't end that well if i remember rightly. in-fact it left us with operation alladyce that essentially f***ed us in the transfer market for the following 18months.

Luca, McArthur and McCarthy have never started as the midfield three, so not the same old line up, just saying for accuracy.
