Are you for real, or do you just see what you "want to see"? Some of the whining that goes on this site beggars belief at times. As a fan of the club, perhaps it would be better to actually encourage some of the younger players than coming on here and slaughtering them.
You get people whinging about stopping cheques for season tickets after one defeat in 7 games, you get people sarcastically questioning the "football genius" if he doesn't do what you specifically want him to do and you get people quoting "facts" that are way off beam.
As I've said on this site before, I respect anyone's right to have an opinion, but what kind of supporter just waits for players who have been playing really well to make one mistake, then they get labelled as "has beens" or Coley Favourites?
Let's look at the facts: yesterday we outplayed Lincoln for long periods of the match - the difference being that they punished us for two momentary lapses in concentration - so to suggest that they were by far the better side is stretching it too far. Another fact was that Chris Turner went into a challenge with Cav in training and got hurt. He was in the side at the start, but pulled up in the warm up. Would he have made a difference? - I think we would all agree he would, as his confidence is high and he's playing well. Young Granty comes in and the first time he makes a mistake, the groans start. A great confidence booster that is eh?
In the second half, the swirling wind got up a bit, making control on a bumpy pitch that more difficult. Sean McConville coming on and running at them caused a few problems, but in the end, the players ran out of steam and performance wise, they fell a bit short by their own standards.
It must be really galling for those who regularly snipe at the team through this forum to eat humble pie, as up until yesterday, we were the form team in the division. We have no divine right to win every game - what we do expect is to compete to the best of our ability, but sometimes, even that isn't going to be enough, especially when we come up against forwards of the quality that they had yesterday and most teams have in this league.
To get were we have in such a short time is unbelieveable - to stay in the division as we have is astonishing. To do it with half the support coming through compared to attendances in the Conference - well that's just about miraculous!
Appreciate what you've got, support the
whole team, not just the players you want to be selected and stop questioning the manager's reasons for leaving players on the bench. He makes the substitutions based on how the game is going, whether a player is struggling or perhaps to change things around from a tactical point of view. He makes / does not make substitutions just to p*** some of you off!
Keep the faith!
