The quality of football on offer, the constant lies from the higher-ups in the club, the lack of bottle from the manager. The biggest disappointment for me this season has been the overall lack of ambition - Wednesday, Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds and Reading are all examples of games at HOME to teams who we should be looking to beat, but instead set up to not lose and ended up either sneaking a draw or getting beat. Powell is extremely negative and the performances for the most part this season have been no better than last season under Robins, just we've had Vaughan fit more often and the defence hasn't capitulated as badly. I want to be entertained, I want to support a team who try and play expansive football and bring through their own players - I want this because it's what's been promised for the last 5 years. PATHWAYS my arse.
I'm not a fan who will accept sneaking a 1-0 win by playing defensively, being solid, working hard and scoring a goal from an aimless hoof. I'd honestly rather lose playing the right way, which is why I stood by Robins as long as I did, he at the very least TRIED to play good football and among all the dross there were still games where we looked decent. That's gone, Powell took over a side Lillis had made his mark on, got the best out of them for a few weeks with the same model, then changed things to his way and it's been depressing ever since. At this rate I doubt I'll be renewing next season, and the club will see a massive decrease in attendances regardless of results.
