I did not once say anything about posters wanting him sacked. I said I was sick of arseholes that think they know more than our manager when they clearly don't and that they should be careful what they wish for. That means that they don't know how well of they are until that manager walks away. Look at some of the posts about 8-10 pages ago. Maybe while you were sleeping Hank?
When you support a team/manager you support them through good and bad and if you want perfection then you're going to be disappointed. We have more good than bad and I'm sure the players and Poch are feeling this today as well without fans having a go.
Slag off other teams and managers - not our own. (unless they're Sherwood )
Can support Poch and still voice critique when it applies.
- We could have gone top of the league beating West Ham at Upton Park at the start of March 2016. Had we won, we then could have built a six point gap before Leicester played their next game by winning the NLD in the early Saturday kick off. We took 1/6 points.
- We should have gone through in the Europa League last season. It took a lot of banging on the door to score two goals. Off memory we hit the post twice and had a shot cleared off the line at 1-1 before Wanyama scored a belter. Still needed one more goal but we cocked up in a rare attack from Gent and it's tie over.
- We could have beaten Chelsea in the SF last season and won a cup, perhaps changing the tide of the title race too. At 2-2 the momentum was with us, but we get done from a corner and a wonder strike kills the hope.
- We outplayed Juventus for most of the 180 minutes yet were knocked out on aggregate.
- And then there was yesterday. 1-0 up deservedly, gift an equaliser, go 2-1 down and never recover. There was plenty of time left but we looked deflated.
These were all chances to go on and win silverware. Not saying we should have won them all. And we could have beaten Chelsea and lost the final. We could have knocked out Juventus and went out the next round. But the fact is we didn't win any of them.
Poch has been excellent for our club but the one criticism I have is when an opportunity knocks on our door we blow it. We're always ending up the team chasing at the end whether it's a fight for the title or a cup match.
