....Sorry but crossed over to the dark side for a read this morning and could not believe what I was reading.
Bearing in mind the position we were in when Levein was sacked, to have assured our safety with 4 games to go and enable us to play out those games in comfort has been testament to Kelly and his management team, but to read through posts comparing him to Levein for his aftermatch comments and criticism of his tactics begger belief.
We have lost one meaningless match, lets be honest in January most of us would have accepted being in a position of needing a result at Southampton, such was the severity of our predictament.
Also bear in mind we were playing a side in 5th position and with everything to play for in terms of securing home advantage for the play offs, it was no disgrace and certainly not a reason for all hope to disappear for next season, they must remember this is a fairly young squad who have been through a tough season and a very steep learning curve, and on the whole when the going got tough these players responded with a terrific run of results and form, so surely they can be forgiven for one disappointing result and perofrmance. As for the 'fans' looking to criticise, one phrase springs to mind 'fickle boneheads'.
