Time for the fans to step up!

Haven't frequently posted on the Oatie for a while..The shite start of the season left me with no doubt but to call for Sparky's head, but Hughes' scraping out of results against Hull, Blunderland and Burnley showed he is at least capable of maintaining our status In the division. However, following the glimpses of the so called 'next level' we saw at times last season, and with the abundance of quality we have, settling for the shoddy state of the clubs it is in now is unacceptable. A truly truly shite 2016 cannot be forgotten by the fans. Nor can the tremendous football we played at the end of 2015. The regression of the club is for all to see. We can't beat any teams above us. We continually concede pathetic goals. And to top it all off, we are going to actively seek to give away our maestro, our talisman, our messiah Bojan, for fuck all, to a rival club. Whilst there has been constant grumblings from fans on here and other social median platforms, and whilst the atmosphere at the BritBet has really gone down the shitter, there does seem to be some perceived hope we will miraculous produce good football again, and we will all be fine and dandy. This ain't gonna happen. I love Crouchy, Jon, Whelan, Cameron. But the fact they are still such a prevalent role in the team is outrageous and testimony to Hughes' ineptitude. Again, the imminent sale of Bojan honestly leaves me speechless. But one thing is for sure, the fans need to step up, and give the players the almighty lift they need, and get the atmosphere cranked up again. I'd love to hear Bojan's name sang from all sides of the ground against Manure. Don't forget he played a huge role of Man. U's destruction last time they were in town, and lets make sure the management team and board know we haven't forgot, and know we aren't satisfied with the horrendous state of out club on and off the pitch. We cannot sit idly by and watch our club regress back to how it was in the last months of TP's reign, with defensive, quality lacking teams trying to scrape results. We have seen better than that, and we are now capable of far better than that. And we need to act, and at least try and get our dissatisfaction, and our desperation for some sort of change heard. We need to step up and move forward whilst the club are seemingly sliding down and moving backwards.

There's probably more chance of Stoke fans getting up & stepping out of the ground should we perform poorly against The Shit rather than cranking up the atmosphere.
