THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Just putting this out there.

I'm sure I wasn't the only one that noticed that

a. As the team was announced before tonight's match there was hardly any clapping etc. at all for any player

b. At the end every player bar one left the pitch immediately.

Is this how far we've come this season??

If I was booed, I wouldn’t bother hanging around either.

Fans can’t have it both ways.

They've heard that Center Parcs are hiring.

Shocking. From the manegment to the players there is next to no bond between them and the fans.

Why do you defend the team/club at every single opportunity? Do you work for the club or simply not care about anything?

No I don't work for the club and care about plenty of things. Being negative about them isn't going to make them play better.

No but it allows our fanbase to share thoughts and promote a joint consensus. Clearly things aren't great and we as a fanbase need to apply pressure when necessary. I'm sure at least one or two of the players/staff/board read this forum from time to time.

Why do the fanbase need to apply pressure. How's that going to help?

I cannot recall you ever being critical of any player or manager D50. But being a fan means there is nothing wrong in being critical. As Filthy says, being honest about players, including being critical, shows we care about the club. In the workplace, we are all open to annual reviews, constructive criticism etc - so why not footballers too ?

I think it does. If you pretend everything is peachy the bad performances can become the norm and accepted.

I honestly don't like to complain, I'd much rather be positive like I always used to be. I hate sounding like a broken record week after week calling for RN to go, but IMHO it needs to happen to move things forward, the club is going backwards with Neilson managing. If things were going well the forum would be a lot different, its just poor performances week after week are reflected with disappointment and negative comments on the forums, its just natural, and without complaints and fans wanting better things will get even more stale and worse. I could just stop going to matches (I've already stopped going to away games and cup games) but I'd rather go and express my disappointment if I see that things aren't going well.
