Not good enough.

I really do not understand the mentality of some posters on this thread.  Did we lose?  NO.  I just do not know what the team has to do to please some people.  I think this season is our best chance to get out of this league, and all people can do is criticize anything and everything.

You're not the only one, I think the majority seem to be sensible but there seems to be quite a few on here who were happier winning the odd game by a few goals and then losing 3 others, finishing in mid-table nothingness rather than being in 3rd with a very real chance of promoition.  

Also the way it is being described on here you get the image we play route one all the time and nothing else.  I will admit I cannot see us every week but when I have seen us we play what I would call very average football.  We occassionally play some very nice stuff, we occassionally just boot it but mostly we play with a little bit of quality without being scintaliting.  It is not football we were spoilt with in the Buckley eras but in my opinion it is better than the effective but dull Slade.

Caesar , the last sentence sums it all up . We were spoilt with ABs football , what we have now is light years away from that  . Sad thing is the squad we have aren't clever enough and our manager either knows this or he's too defencive in his thinking  . It's not sexy football to watch , I find it uninspiring . However it's still my team and I wouldn't change it for the world .

Because I didn't go to a game I'm not allowed my opinion on the current affairs on the club? I think after 15 years of going to almost every home game, having happily said I've always vocally supported us throughout that, I'm entitled to an opinion. I travel hundreds of miles to go to games so when it's poor and as negative as it has been it's more of a bitter pill to swallow.

You may not agree with it but I'm sick of people on this board ganging up against people who have different views. I think a lot of people are naive as to how we're doing and I believe I could have a point. But anybody who doesn't share that opinion I'll have an honest debate with. Unfortunately some like to turn it into a flipping gentlemens club and jump on people who go against popular opinion.

The thing is Lew, freedom of speech is a two way street. You are quite entitled to your opinion but equally so are those including myself who wish to take issue with what you have to say. I cannot find anything to agree with in your dystopian view of the way things are at Blundell Park at the moment and as long as I am a regular contributor to this discussion board I will continue to say so. Get over it...

People don't just go against you because you go against public opinion.

People actually try and have an honest debate with you, follow up on the majority of stuff you post and highlight how the majority of it is absolute crap. A bit like when Rodley stated all those quotes of yours. You then go quiet and repeat the same arguments the following day. You are a broken record.

You have a point that we could be playing better- but let's face it so could most teams. And quite frankly, we can't change the players that we have at this time of the season so this is what we have. On our day we can beat anyone and gain promotion this year. That is the aim so just back the boys till the end of the season. Stop worrying your little heart out about stuff that may not happen!

And for those that are worried about being the worst team to gain promotion- who cares! It will mean we are less likely to bust and that's all that matters.

I honestly am in shock that anybody on this board can say that yesterday was a 'good performance'.

It was WOEFUL!!

Nobody wants to be saying this, but it was just so so bad and we were playing 19th in the table!!

Was our season objective not to reach the play offs and hopefully go up? Are we not meeting that objective at present?

Yes we are, some will moan about how we've been playing recently, others won't. Having only ever seen York play football and go up and the others, Luton includes just play a high tempo counter attacking game we an safely say that what is needed to get out of this league is effective football, not pretty passing or indeed big boot, a style that wins games and clearly we can do that, look at our away form.

There will be lots of sides that play excellent football all over Europe in many different leagues that will end their seasons with nothing and will have gone no where.

Football is about opinions, they will differ but surely at this stage we all just need to support our club that is on track to meet its objective instead of getting on their backs and moaning time after time...

Oh, cheer the intercourse up. I don't think anyone is saying it was a GOOD performance yesterday but we're still 3rd in the table with a bit of a cushion.

If we do go up (and we still have a decent chance of that) then all the moaning will look a bit stupid, but if we don't then you can moan to your hearts content. As it is we have 4 games left to clinch that play-off spot, so lets just back the team can we rather than all this sniping and bitching.

The so-called 'moaners' on here want nothing but the best for this club, especially promotion to the football league, so get off their backs.

What they see is such consistently poor performances that they realise that promotion is extremely unlikely unless things change and there are a lot of fans who share that view.

All views and opinions are valid and if you don't share them, tough. Deal with it.

Is this sentence deliberately ironic?
If your argument is that people have the right to moan then it does seem a tad inconsistent to demand that others get off their backs!
