Yeah. Surprise. I am now starting to get a little more optimistic that he may – perhaps – no longer be swimming against the tide.
If you give fans: ugly football; fail to see that your system ain’t cuttin’ it; get cross if many ordinary paying supporters mention it – you are riding for a big fall.
I predict that, from the furore caused by ‘that interview’, there will emerge a rather chastened figure. I do not think he dare ever be so sulky again.
As previously mentioned, I applaud him for making changes to a system that was not working.
(I rather hope that we see 3 – 5 players who are either not producing, or have fallen below acceptable standards, will leave in January. This may make space for a freshening up of the squad.)
After Alfreton – a game which will haunt me for the remainder of my life – we had reached rock bottom. Perhaps the only way is up.
Up to that point I had not wanted AB’s head on a spike – after Alfreton my attempts towards positivity had largely disappeared.
Let us hope to see a little more flexibility so that Andy can have a good Christmas. There may be some signs of improvement already – so let’s just forget the radio interview.
Fans hate negative football. Over decades it has probably caused as many downfalls as totting up the amount of points lost.
If your guys attack, attack, attack and lose against Hereford, Andy, you will see astonishingly little criticism. Most fans do actually try to be fair-minded but, do bear in mind, they are 100% correct to feel that they are entitled to be entertained. They pay your salary.
