Glad to see the Marketing team included in the blame for last nights fiasco!!
Yes we cocked up in the last 4 minutes but prior to that had played some decent attacking football even Sky commented about how good our football was but that we can and have played better which should worry the teams above us.
Yes we have dropped far to many points but as soon as we lose or draw it is gloom gloom and more gloom with people looking for someone to blame. It is a collective game where all parts of the team need to perform together, last night at the end the cogs didn’t mesh.
I still firmly believe that our football is a joy to watch, I am proud that the club is held up as an example to others and that the style of our football is regarded as one of the best in the division.
Yes everything is not perfect, it never will be, however demanding managerial changes or wholesale team changes is not the answer, we have got to where we are by having specific ethos and values, long may it continue
I am proud of my club I don’t join in with the jibes at our Marketing team as I don’t have sufficient knowledge of what is spent and what they are instructed to produce ( something that is pretty intangible in most companies) however they are part and parcel of the club I support.
In my 60 plus years I have seen some absolute dross and watched various Donkeys play in the red and white. In the past few years it has been a revelation if not a revolution and the club today both on and off the field is light years away from what it was just a few short years ago.
It is easy to get worked up over the here and now but look back where we have come from and then look ahead to the future at a brand new stadium where we can all enjoy watching an entertaining brand of football.
We are an established Championship club using a business model that enables us to perform at a far higher level than our income justifies, yes things don’t always go to plan but by Christ it is a fantastic journey. The old adage of not throwing out the baby with the bath water springs to mind. What we have is damn good, yes it can be better and slowly it will be so we just need a little patience at times and see the overall picture not just a snap shot in time
Keep the faith we have a talented squad of players, a good management team a new ground on the horizon plus an owner who believes in the club and has ambitions for it. Overall in my opinion we should be optimistic as there are exciting times ahead and who knows we could all look back come season end and accept that a point last night was what got us into a playoff position !!
