4EVA I have only ever found you fair and unbiased - I don't think anything was being pointed at you.
These maybe directed at me, i'm free to criticise DM & GJ when I believe they are making stupid errors, I'm also man enough to admit when they get things right and when i'm talking out of my own arse. Darren has some tremendous qualities that no other person could bring to the table. What I find almost impossible to accept is poor decisions and the same mistakes again and again. And the inexperienced excuse - I just don't care if he has only had the managers title for less then a year. He's seen more football then any of us. It's his job 24/7 for 35 years. Some see this as an acceptable excuse for basic mistakes I'm sorry I don't, but that's just me. It's like the "Legend" status - not in my book. Fair player in his day, loves the baggies, trains the kids, earns millions of pounds, that don't equal legend status. Today is the first time DM & GJ have used a park the bus system to protect a lead, in hindsight more points could have been on the bored if we had done this a few more times in the past. 4 - 3 - 3 needs adjusting to suit who your playing as today clearly showed.
All I will say in my defense is I have advocated our saving grace will be our youngsters and they should have more game time. I was slaughtered for suggesting the old guard be used as a supporting role and the way forward was to play the Harpers - Fields - Edwards - Leko's. I detested the signings of the Mears, Hoolahans, Sako's - The inability to change things during games when it's obvious to all, drives me mad. The use / non use of subs drives me mad, giving goals away immediately a substitution is made drives me mad. The loyalty to the old guard is beyond a joke although I feel that is fading now.
The pathetic transfer spending and an absent uninterested owner drives me mad, a recruitment team who promise to contribute and give nothing to the cause, have disappointed me to say the least. Jenkins conning us with we have money to spend and will do our transfer business early speeches have turned me against him. I have tried not to comment on DM personally for weeks now as my opinions are seen as negative and controversial. Through all of this Darren has kept us in contention and he deserves credit for this. I hold my hand up and expected us to be mid table and Stoke to be top, funny old world this football game is.
