FICKLE FANBASE

"Slade out" this "Slade out" that. Do me a favour.

You're all acting like we're in the relegation zone and have a RIGHT to win every game and be in the top 6. The fact the "leaders" on this board are encouraging fans to go against Slade when things aren't actually THAT bad says it all. If Slade takes us to the play offs you will all be singing his name and turning up in double the numbers. We literally do have the worst fanbase in the world.

Beat Reading on Saturday and we're back in play off mix. Pipe down you bunch of fickle bastards.

He's clueless mate

You'll be fighting a losing battle on here Jon. Agree it's not as bad as people are making out but Slade's face hasn't fitted since day one and these latest run of games without any goals have just added fuel to the fire.

I know for the fact I'm in for a shit storm but I honestly don't care. I'm part of a fanbase that does my bloody head in. Who cares what Slade looks like? If we get the results and we're achieving our targets I don't care if Alan bloody Tate is our manager.

Good on you

It's unfortunate that RS has the team playing the same as he did last season. People don't want to pay good money to see it.

It won't get better he is out of his depth that's a fact

I think he is doing far better than last season considering we were wandering around midtable for 90% of the season. The difference now is that we're only 3 points off the play offs. Sack him now and I fear we will drop like a stone. Slade's built a decent team, we're just on a bad run of games.

Hope you are right but we are consistently crap!

Players he brought in are Peltier, Malone in the first 11 bench Okeefe, Revell and Ameobie.

The rest are players he already had, it's obvious he is unsure of who or what he likes and he can't get away with that in the Championship.

Hats off to you for sticking to your guns. I'm sort of with you. But if he gets sacked then he gets sacked.

We need unity. Surely city have played worse than this year's ago?

Besides results wise we ain't doing too bad. Even though losing to leads is highly embarrassing.

Most predictable team I've seen in a long time

Modern football jon that's what I put it down to lose 1 game in 7 and the its the end, one fan even said on here in a thread they would rather us lose and play well than be shit and get points
Treated like customers so its up to the fans how they act imo, totally different to years ago when we would win one in seven and lose six yet fans still got behind the team even if there was a few thousand of us

Jon I am usually positive, patient, realistic and quite often posting some of our fans live on a different planet. I also think the abuse on here is ridiculous from grown men. I would rather go along the lines of done a decent job last year, steadied the ship we thank you but time to move on.

You see, it's more the manner than results and it has been dire but most of us keep waiting and hoping it will change and early season we were given some hope but that's been ripped away albeit the few injuries have not helped, but that's part of a season.

Fickle fans?? We have always been fickle, it's testament how far we have come that we now have 13,000 hardcore not 2,000.

That's whats going on imo and I agree

Looking at it another way though, it's 2 wins in 9. Doesn't look so good then does it? Surely the object is to try to win football matches and there has been scant evidence of any attempt to do that recently.

A team could theoretically go through a whole season unbeaten but if all those games were draws the points total would undoubtedly mean the club was closer to the bottom of the table than the top. Would we then be thinking that we'd had a brilliant season because we had gone unbeaten for 46 games?

I know what you're saying about years ago but there are so many other things for people to spend their time and money on now if they are not being entertained by what they are seeing on the pitch.

That's why I said customers as that's what us fans are these days so I get why people want slade out, the way I see it is I wouldn't do my job properly if I wasn't given the tools needed from the boss above me so how can slade do his. he wont be sacked as that will cost money and he's here to slash the wage will right down. Come may when his contract runs out if things don't improve he will be going for sure with a few players who's contracts are up and a thank you for everything on the way out

I don't think we have the right to win but the shit that's being served up at the minute is shocking, there's no attacking intent, no style of play, the players basically look stale and out of ideas when we have the ball. He's had a full pre-season and 17 competitive fixtures to mould his squad together and get his philosophy across and unfortunately the little bit of progress we looked like we were making has come to an almighty halt. I appreciate the job he has done in stabilising the squad and cutting the wage bill but I think this is as far as he can take us. We needed someone to come in and stop to the rot and I thank him for that but with the squad of players we have, with a bit of vision and the right philosophy we could be a dangerous team.

1st time I've used this...

its so easy to see He's setting up defensively so we don't lose and he doesn't lose his job. I can guarantee bring in the right manager and we can be right in the mix.

Ok , lets turn this around.What does slade bring to this campaign..?..

Why is it fickle just because people think he isn't doing a good job. I'll still accept staying up while he remains in charge but with the squad we should be doing better.

I agree he is setting us up tight and compact so we don't lose but even then I'm still not totally convinced by our defensive performances, if it wasn't for Marshall in the past couple of games the 0-0's could've easily been defeats. The problem we face is if Slade does get the chop then we still have Tan deciding who his next puppet is going to be. Whilst the clown is making football decisions I'm afraid the on field situation is just going to keep on repeating itself.

What Planet do you live on ? It is not the fact we lost, we have have been crap for the last 5/6 games, even the games we have won could be considered to lucky. We started off half decent so what has gone wrong ? Maybe he has lost dressing room ? Take us to the Play Offs RIGHT

Jon if I went to the Cinema and they constantly put out shite films then I have a right to moan. Now the football is dire to say the least and the fans are deserting at massive rates. So yeah even though we could win on Saturday if Reading score an own goal yes we will move up the table but we will carry on loosing fans as they ain't going to waste there hard earned money.
Football is about entertainment but we ain't getting that in any way are we ? This is no way to run a business as the walk up will get smaller the revenue decreases and the club can go into more financial trouble.
The rot needs to stop and the right manager needs to be put in place now not when it's to late.

You know i have more than enough backed Slade but after yesterday which was unacceptable defeat to dirty Leeds i realized that he is never going to take us forward and he has really reached his limitations.

We had to lose to the weeds one day.& yesterday was that day. We're still above where most people thought we would be and this is mostly a knee jerk reaction to losing to them. Still sitting 9th in the table and only 1 win away from a play off position so nowhere near as bad as it could be. I agree that we need to start scoring but to do that we need a goalscorer which we obviously don't have.

Thats down to Slade , he signed an injured striker in the summer transfer window who is yet to kick a ball for us , and he has loaned out Doyle and ALF he gets no sympathy from me and our main striker is Mason (with a rotation of Jones/Revell)

This post is spot on, one of the best things I've read on here in a while
