Typical over reaction. Awful fans.

Sat Dec 19, 2020 2:57 pm

Away at the team who are going to win the league.

Norwich aren’t our competition. Watford and Stoke are our competition and we beat both of those teams away. Three points off the playoffs. (Likely to be more later I know)

Talk about rebuilds all you want our fickle fans don’t have the patience. Talk about the football DJ used to get slated despite the football. We haven’t played good football since him.

We really don’t help. Awful, impatient fans.

Patience you say he's been in the job over a year and we still dont know how we want to play? he went into the season with 1 right back stupidity. What encouragement can you see that we'll make the playoffs?

We are impatient; but that's the modern 'I demand it now' society we have become; and it's so easy for many to spend Tan's money! :laughing6:

Agree with the base of your OP and that we haven't played good, attractive football since DJ :thumbup:

He does know how he wants to play.

We did that at the end of last season and it worked as we had Tomlin to make it work. Tomlin is injured so we can’t rely on him. Then it doesn’t work so he changes to a more direct style which we all called for.

Today with three in midfield was more that style. It doesn’t work especially against very good teams which Norwich are.

i totally agree Norwich good side but what is the direct style becuase that style only got us 3 on target today 2 of them from set plays not very direct if you ask me the only time we are direct is from set pieces orher than that there is nothing direct about us. To me direct is high tempo get the ball wide get wingers running at opposition balls into channels getting the ball into space we do non of that.

Impatience comes from the promise when we got relegated from the PL that we would give it a go last season and go straight back up.
Impatience comes from watching poor quality football.
If we were fickle, many would have walked away by now .

Three in midfield isn’t the direct style more the patient style. We create very little unless we have a player like Tomlin to create.

We did have ten shots today mind. Most set pieces.

Didn't think had more than couple of direct free kicks near enough to shoot? They only had 2 serious shots for smithies to save theres shots and theres shots one better than other regarding scoring effort!
As I've pointed out we were in their penalty area more than they were in ours by a big margin !

Re: Typical over reaction. Awful fans.

Sat Dec 19, 2020 5:02 pm

I think a lot of it comes from the fact we haven't played good football since Dave Jones on a consistent basis.

Re: Typical over reaction. Awful fans.

Patience lol. Ive been waiting since 1975 for he club to establish its self in the top flight and win a trophy can't see it happening anytime soon.

Re: Typical over reaction. Awful fans.

Sat Dec 19, 2020 5:33 pm

It's not being fickle It's the realisation that we too have a few game changers as Norwich have.

Problem we have is the bloke in the managers chair. No idea.

Absolutely. They have at least four players who would get over £15 million in the transfer market. We have none.

Re: Typical over reaction. Awful fans.

Sat Dec 19, 2020 6:19 pm

To be honest I thought we where ok first half and didn’t think Norwich were doing anything to cause us any bother until they got there goal yes another bad goal we gave away no marking let the player have so much room we don’t close him down it’s in the back of the net ok not the end of the world going into half time one nil down against a side that’s top of the league .we started the second half again thought we where doing ok but half away through the second half we started to give Norwich a helping hand we made four bad mistakes which nearly resulted in goals for Norwich we could have been beaten four or five nil but our keeper made a good save for one of them we still only a couple points of the play offs but I don’t see us getting promotion unless we can cut out the bad mistakes we are making which are resulting in us conceding goals

When you look back on some of the bad times and I’ve seen a few of them it’s only a bad time know because of the pandemic as regards the football it’s not as bad as times gone by and we are up there with the best of them for sticking with our club

Yet some of our fans change their mind during a game about whether to support the manager or not.

It can’t be fans who have been there for even 25 years as they would have seen a lot worse.

We deserve to lose to a better team
Harris is clueless in setting a team up
How do you play Ralls when he is cr*p

I moved away in 1999 and didn’t watch many games until I returned in 2014. As I wasn’t privy to the gradual decline, it was quite a shock to see exactly how quiet our fan base had become as it happened in one hit for me. Many seem to demand extra passion from the players, but can’t even generate an atmosphere at home for a Welsh derby. Sadly, many of our fans are quick to turn to negativity.

I’m still happy to be in the second tier and pushing for the playoffs, having watched many games in the lower divisions. I think it’s important that you don’t forget where you’ve come from. These are good times to be a Bluebird! :bluebird:

FA Cup final did it for me. Lots of fans came on board for that. The games with pure support and passion have been few and far between since. Fans are so quick to get on the backs of the players and manager.

Martin,

These are not bad times ,the majority of our fans have never seen bad times.

But fans have a right to have their opinions and voice them and everyone’s must be respected .

Fans will always be divided on managers, players that’s the beauty of our game.

The truth is the best team won today and Norwich had far more quality in their team we did.

I honestly don’t blame Harris or the players today as they were just simply outplayed.

100% right Annis.

If we play our best with our best team out and Norwich did the same they would beat us. Simple fact.

Better players and a better team.
