Overreacting

You are quite right.
I was guilty of criticising Tumbs for his lack of ability in attacking the ball against defenders. He still doesn't jump to win headers from goal kicks.
His overall performance yesterday was miles better than I've seen before and his confidence must be sky high.
If this continues, we may have a decent player.

Nope but doesn't surprise me that you misread it.
More a please be patient post but you read it as you like as you invariably do.

It's typical RP.

There are some people that are very black or white. With no shades of grey in between.

We're either going to win the league or we're sh1t and the board are skint and DK needs to resign.

Nothing in between.

But that's not to say these people aren't fans or they'll all WUM's. As people were all very different, with different ways of supporting the club.

It's noticeable that those posters seem to wait for defeat to take RP into meltdown and are strangely reticent in victory.
some question DK's ability as a manager and even want him to step down!
The complete model is questioned and any of us that support it are derided
We are told that massanka will never even be a half decent footballer and that Dibble has fundamental technical issues. Cheap shots are issued about those of us who keep reminding people that at least we have a club.
I'm a self proclaimed happy clapper if owning a ST and going to away games means that and yes I support the model but retain the right to question the personnel.
Everyone is of course entitled to their views and I deliberately do not name anyone I just hope that none of our young players are daft enough to come on here.

I'm also not claiming that I knew the answer after Maidenhead but I did suggest patience (along with others ) and in particular with youngsters like Massanka

Rome wasn't built in a day but if some on here had been in control they would have started building and pulled it down 10 times before falling out once and for all and heading for Naples.

Just wait and see if (god forbid) we were to lose at Torquay.....

Wise words MKTF, as long as our performances keep improving and players like Massanka gain more experience and confidence we'll be challenging towards the end of the season.
Surprised you were a bit bored last night though after wins for us and Wales - I was in dreamland!!

The board took a risk, albeit, probably fiscally compulsory after the Mills derbarcle, to hire a rookie manager....Being a popular ex player helps the supporters to accept it, but a rookie all the same....

To expect the manager then, to create a team to suddenly rip up the League, playing fast skillfull football is Roy of the Rovers stuff....But we're defiantly made progress.

Let's just keep supporting the team.....It's beginning to look like we're heading in the right direction,.

That could have something to do with the fact that there are only 2 teams above us. Hopefully by the time we play them they will be below us as well. Then, if we keep that record of only beating reams below us, we will finish top!
