You clearly haven't read the whole of my post and those following it or you simply don't have the capacity to understand them. Being critical is acceptable if the critique: A) Carries any weight, B) Is justifiable and/or C) Is not simply a diatribe of your opinion on the subject with no acceptance of anyone else’s.

At no point is anybody suggesting that we should play like Real Madrid week in week out but are you seriously telling us that you are dissatisfied with winning League One at a canter, breaking several records on the way and then starting the Championship season in the way that we did culminating in us, at this stage, being one win from top spot? If you are, I suggest that the fantasies you quite clearly harbour of us playing in the Champions League next year are put to one side and instead, you open your eyes to the fact that we are punching above the weight that most sensible people expected us to carry. I doubt very much whether your negativity will give us a better chance of winning the league.

Summing up: Warranted criticism, understandable. Constant berating of players, tactics, management and so on, regardless of whether or not we have won a game convincingly (In score line if nothing else) , ridiculous.

You really dont know Lazzer do you :icon_lol:
 
oh the fickle football fan!

I just have to look back not so long ago when we were playing dross like mcauley, hayles, hammond, hughes...... we have come on leaps and bounds since then.

The next step is going to be a lot tougher. We need to be patient because quite frankly we are being spoilt at the moment. Pearson has turned this sorry ship round in no time. Several clubs similar to us have been languishing in league one for some time, yet we only had a brief stay. it may take a couple of years consolidation in the championship before we can push on. in the mean time I am just going to thank our lucky stars that pearson came on board and sorted out the sorry shit that he inherited. well done Nige!
 
I've just seen the highlights - not that I give a **** but how the referee allowed Gallagher to run right in front of him in to well inside the area before Fryatt took the penalty I don't know.

Lovely second goal...

He was a crap ref throughout the game, so it doesn't surprise me he got that wrong as well. Of course their defender was inside the area as well so who cares?

Whay annoyed me most about the ref was that this was only his 3rd game all season. I can see why.

Why would anyone not read all of your brief and to the point posts is beyond me.Thank you for pointing out what is acceptable to post on this forum as it is all a bit new to me. Firstly I have never criticised NP and I was over the moon when we won Div one. I have posted two negative posts one stating how crap the derby game was and one stating how crap the first half against palace was and I stand by those posts . As for my expectations as I have stated on this forum I expect 10th place in this league anything else would be a bonus.

I didn't proffer guidelines of acceptability - people can obviously write what they want to. I merely suggested that some of the posts written are quite clearly the ramblings of idiots who are blossoming into imbeciles. As for being brief - You can't make an ommlette without cracking eggs.

I am much of this opinion. In the second half, our possesion was wasted on continuous occasions. I want to be entertained, I want to watch decent football (and we were playing at the start of the season hence the moan). I don't want to watch hoofball which still continued despite having Campbell and Waghorn up front. At least against Derby, we kept the ball pretty well.

I read a interesting article on teamtalk a while back about how the Premiership and Wenger's Arsenal have created un-realistic expectations among supporters. Everyone expects to watch good football now-a-days and be entertained.

I'm not saying we shouldn't expect that. But i'd prefer us to win the league playing ugly than be mid-table playing beautiful football.
