With regards to Smith I also supported him in the early days because I saw something that some others did not. The same happened with Sawyers who I thought was quality after his first couple of games.

I may be wrong about JW or I may be right and time will tell but Jon has had a lot less games than Smith so based on that comparison we would also have got rid of Smith after 100 games and that would have been a mistake. The chance that we will bring a good manager in is a lot less than bringing a poor one in so I think that we are better off with the devil we know at the moment rather than the devil we don't know. We need to get behind him and the team rather than keep trying to influence decisions, particularly if the ones doing it are under the influence themselves..


Absolutely, which is why I said if you are happy with that fair enough. I'm not. That's my opinion.

You absolutely can argue that. In fact I would. But as I said I wasn't making a comparison. Whitney has only played in League one and that is his record. As you keep bringing up Smith, the main difference was that there was a steady improvement in performances from the Hutchings era, which is why people like yourself wanted to give him time. We absolutely cannot say that about Whitney. It's demonstrably worse.

I really don't understand that? Why is it a better chance we bring in a worse manager than Whitney?


I didn't mean that there is a better chance, I meant that it's pot luck. Thanks for the debate El_Nombre but we must agree to disagree as it's all about opinions and as there is no real answer we could go on forever.

Well fair enough, it is pot luck. A chance I think is worth taking and you don’t.

More to the point thanks for seeing it’s just a discussion on here and that you can debate things without being insulting, condescending or downright rude. It’s rare.

You’re not in a position to make that point considering the rest of this thread

But hey, let’s leave it there ay? I wouldn’t want to drag on another discussion (started by yourself) so that people can accuse me of clogging up another board and trolling.

Was at game and despair at the negative energy created by a lot of our supporters.I have supported the team for many years and until recently it has always been a pleasure to go to away games.We all stuck together and gave total support to our players during the match.We are now a pathetic bunch of discontents who suck all the pleasure out of the away experience.Many of those who criticise the players need to consider their own performance.
If you want the manager or the chairman out that is fine but for god's sake support the players during the match because whatever their limitations they are doing their best.

Just expressing an opinion, and I'm a position to write whatever I want, within reason.

Is that no longer allowed without initiating some barbed El Nombre 'feedback' :?:

It was only a decent exchange with Optimistic because he backed off. And it took him two attempts to do that.
Perhaps he didn't fancy mixing it with the boards' most pugnacious member.

Of course you are I just suggested we leave it there. After all it’s clearly villainous to defend your position to any extent on here, no matter how subjective that position may be.

I don’t know mate, you responded to something I said. If you didn’t want to interact then I’m unsure why you did that. I’ve got no problem interacting but it was only yesterday you were crying at the horror of having to do exactly that.

Balls. It was a normal discussion and he didn’t back off twice. He made his point without “WTF” and “ABSURD” and accusing me of making up what he actually said in my own head and making out I’m any worse than yourself or anybody else on this board, that’s why it was decent. And in fact, the last part of your post proves my point. Thanks for that.

The irony of you calling me the most pugnacious member of the board considering how you responded to my post in the first place and have droned on about brexit for what feels like 50 years in another thread (and I bloody agree with you) is real.

Agreed. We need to start supporting the team and not keep being so negative. It’s not been a great season but we’ve had worse. Let’s get to May and see where we are.

El N - you are in danger of peeing off most of the board.

There doesn’t seem much give in the way you post on here which is a shame as you make some interesting points.... but the message is lost when you come over all self-righteous and infallible.

See this is where I’m baffled. Saigon posts quoting me. I respond. He continues. I respond in kind. But somehow I’m the one who needs to chillax and comes across as self righteous. Maybe I am but I haven’t been personal about anybody in this thread. Plenty of people have been personal about me, whether it’s been offensive or not. Yourself included even if it is absolutely inoffensive, which your comment is.

It seems there are a lot of people that can’t take their own advice and accept other opinion. All this from a post that demonstrated exactly that between myself and optimistic.

I posted first - then you responded to me. I didn't quote you.

I posted in reference to some overreaction bobbins on Twitter about the death of our football philosphy. It's there in my first post.

A really good post THE GENERAL....I posted earlier that when I went to away games it was us versus them and not us versus us!! I don't go away much these days and one of the reasons is the sheer negativity of some of our fans. My away days covered a period of around of around 40 years and the support that was given to the team was always good. During that time we had both good and bad times and good and bad managers and at the end of games the latter was sometimes given a tongue lashing but during games the support was total and in good humour.
I presume social media is part of the reason for the change but when you get Mick Kearns on WM saying that we might have won yesterday if the fans had been more positive you know that it is an issue for the team.

You won't believe this, and you have every right not too, but I have only now, literally now, seen your page one post regarding the playing of Ozzy over other players.

I was venting about a Twitter post about 'this being the death of our football philosophy'. Read my post. I can now see why you reacted with some robustness, presumably you thought this was a roundabout attack on your position without naming you. This in turn led to my counter thrust and slight surprise at the enhanced level of debate.

We've both been responding at an elevated level of antagonism by accident. :?

Chillax, man.


See this is where I’m baffled. Saigon posts quoting me. I respond. He continues. I respond in kind. But somehow I’m the one who needs to chillax and comes across as self righteous. Maybe I am but I haven’t been personal about anybody in this thread. Plenty of people have been personal about me, whether it’s been offensive or not. Yourself included even if it is absolutely inoffensive, which your comment is.

It seems there are a lot of people that can’t take their own advice and accept other opinion. All this from a post that demonstrated exactly that between myself and optimistic.


I posted first - then you responded to me. I didn't quote you.

I posted in reference to some overreaction bobbins on Twitter about the death of our football philosphy. It's there in my first post.


No you literally just did at the end of the discussion with optimistic. Or did I make that up in my own head too?


You won't believe this, and you have every right not too, but I have only now, literally now, seen your page one post regarding the playing of Ozzy over other players.

I was venting about a Twitter post about 'this being the death of our football philosophy'. Read my post. I can now see why you reacted with some robustness, presumably you thought this was a roundabout attack on your position without naming you. This in turn led to my counter thrust and slight surprise at the enhanced level of debate.

We've both been responding at an elevated level of antagonism by accident. :?


Hahaha! I was a little puzzled as, honestly, I’ve always had no problem with you even in debate. It’s always been respectful.

I apologise for the misunderstanding and will forget any offence I took.

saddler wars? not quite on the same scale :lol: anyway i thought it had something to do with the assassination of some archduke Ferdinand?


It's even possible to reference the Tweets
'Death of football our philosophy' was from our very own Neuromantic
and
'Shocking selection' from Vital Walsall.

Humble pie all round. I think I'm more at fault and will try and think (or at least read) a bit more in future.

With all the ads and misunderstandings to scroll through, it's hard to find a football match in here.

The first goal was actually well worked on Saturday. Very good run by Morris who seems to have picked up form again and Edwards finished it off nicely.

Pity we have to rely on half backs and defenders for our goals! Someone above, obviously still in the realms of alcoholic haze, suggested that the first goal was all down to Bakayoko!? Was I at a different match?

I thought Morris had a thoroughly decent game and was the only player who seemed capable of attacking or taking on defenders (even if it didn't always come off). Will someone in our groundstaff please instruct our forwards (haha) that you only win matches by attacking and possibly scoring goals, when you look back at the match in sobriety how many shots at goal did Blackpool actually have, they would shoot at every given opportunity, we 'always' seem to want to walk the ball into the net, but we don't have the players capable of that scenario, so, it's about time we 'got real' and started to concentrate on what actually wins games!

If you want the manager or the chairman out that is fine but for god's sake support the players during the match because whatever their limitations they are doing their best.


I did not go to Blackpool for just these reasons the pleasure has gone, it was us against them now it's us against us.
It started too get really bad at Doncaster with a group chanting Whitney out and chants for Andy Butler with no support for their own team even when 3-0 up.
This was also the first time walsall fans were turning on Walsall fans it was that bad.
