Respect the fans.

No one is better than the fans.

It just became an unnecessary extra (similar to when we analyse mannerisms on the touchline) when the results were shocking. Theres no need to come up with additional reasons to get angry with him when results are shit, thats reason enough.

You seem to have taken particular offence to it though to the point that the results are secondary even to that. If we had won those games it wouldnt be mention.

He seems a fairly cold and not particularly personable individual. To be honest I couldnt care less, only about results.

One aspect of Ismaels time so far where I think every supporter agrees on was persisting with Toth over the calamitous Pears. Since Toth came in at Luton we have only conceded three goals in five games and none of them were down to him. 

It's difficult to point to any one incident that cost us a playoff place but I can't help but think back to Bristol City away when Pears gave Twine two thirds of the goal to shoot at from a free kick. Drawing that game would have seen us over the line.

 

Watching on Saturday I was reminded of the last time we had a shot at the playoffs and Pears gave Millwall two goals, we overcame but ultimately fell short overall but in contrast Toth looked assured. 

Reckon he would have done better than Dennis with the header as well!

and who says he doesn't respect the fans? 

In the last few games in has come over the fans whether it was at Ewood Park or away games so surely that point is a mooted one now?

Toth coming out and catching the ball is what I want to see my keeper do. He has impress me with this piece of play. 

must start as number 1 keeper for me

We had 48 points from 32 games when Eustace left.

Only needed 20 points from 14 games to get in the play offs (with a win yesterday). Only managed 18.

Eustace's last 14 games produced 17 points - Tom was right. Although you do need to take into account the 6 points from 3 games under Lowe.

Shows how modern football has lost the plot when we are pleasantly surprised to see a goalkeeper catch the ball.

Me too. Kissing the badge, fancy celebrations after scoring a goal, pre and post match interviews. It’s all bollocks. All that matters is winning the game.

He obviously hasn’t resigned… but guess what a three day old tweet of a quote from weeks ago means bugger all.

[chaddyrovers]

The club wouldnt be posting articles on the website if he was going was the point

Only a matter of time, probably not true yet as that would be impressive work even by Venky pond life standards to force a manager out before his first transfer window has even opened. But it will come. Once he realises that he'd get more backing, clarity and plan working at Clitheroe he'll set the wheels in motion

Remember - the last two preferred unemployment and a high risk of League One with Derby County rather than stay at this stinking cesspit. If that doesn't tell you a story nothing will.

[Mattyblue]

Yeah like the social media team weren’t putting up stuff from ‘the boss’/‘the gaffer’ in the run up to an official approach from Derby…

Maybe they don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

 

 

[chaddyrovers]

everyone thought the paperwork had gone through, it hadn't. 

[JHRover]

Or maybe Broughton and other staff had done all that was needed, told the media boys to release it but then Venkys and their slippery stooges pulled the plug.

As if this post is still up

A reminder that, forgotten amongst the comedic failure to press send on McGuire, was another sign that Venkys had pulled the plug.

That's because they deliberately didn't submit it. Some people knew.
