Unless things change dramatically, he only has himself to blame for building the fans hopes up!!! Maybe he needs to learn when to keep his trap shut!!! If he'd have come out and said our aim was midtable, or that we have to just be competitive, then he would have been slated and accused of trying to manage expectations, just like Vinegar Tits used to do. Sorry, but that comment is out of order. Fine, criticise him for not backing up his mouth thus far, but don't criticise a manager for wanting the best or demanding the best even if he falls short of that in the short, medium or long term. A fan without hope is a fan without football.

It's 4 games into the season. Norwich had 1 point after 4. Bolton had 10 points. Wish people would stop comparing us to Norwich!!! We ain't gonna do a Norwich!!! We can't cut the mustard.

A fan without hope is a fan without football. Sorry but that's just bollocks!!! I'm not saying he should be saying mid-table.....but don't harp on all preseason about promotion!!! Personally, I'd prefer him to have said as little as possible, then anything good is a bonus!!!

Personally, I'd prefer him to have said as little as possible, then anything good is a bonus!!! He can't not say anything when he's asked numerous times what the target is, can he? I remember at least two interviews where he was asked that question directly. You've said you didn't want him to say midtable so how is he supposed to answer the question? "Let's have a bash at the playoffs?" There'd have been murders.

It’s the combination of issues though. We’ve spent good money backing him because his aim was to get promoted. If he said we’ve got a bunch of disinterested idiots to the board and it’s going to take longer do we think they’d sign off Stephen Ward? Or Hogan when we have Campbell or Duffy when we already have Ince, Powell and Verlinden.

Probably not, but the parallels between what people are saying about us and what people were saying about Norwich at this point last season are very obvious.

A bit late in the day with this one .... As Churchill once said ..
It will be long
It will be hard
There will be blood shed.
Churchill's female fanmail tripled after that speech.
