All accept arguably MON failing to succeed at stoke and Rowett, Jones, Neil all having successful times at other clubs can we really keep blaming the managers? The "logical" next people to blame is the club owners but we don't really have a leg to stand on when it comes to blaming them because they have backed us with money on many occasions and do lots of positive things away from the pitch than you find at other clubs, also when you look at other clubs around us who have sold up and gone foreign with there owners it seems so unsuccessful throughout that it would make sense that it would go incredibly wrong for us. Then that only really leaves the players to blame but so many groups of players have come through since we went down and they have all been as bad as each other, we have seen full British squads, foreign players, 3 at the back, 5 at the back, wingers, big strikers, fast forwards and nathan jones's bloody diamond and nothing has seemed to work and now we are back where we were from the back end of Mon's Reign where every home game is negative from the start. And as i have been to pretty much every home game since we went down i can only think of a handful of times where we have had anything near a good atmosphere like the old days and probably one in the last year and that was leeds when the club put on a show and got everyone excited before the game. At some point i think we have to look at ourselves rather than pointing fingers everywhere the second things start to look ugly, from this AN squad we have seen glimpses of what they can do and we have seen first hand what AN can do to clubs from when he came here with Sunderland. The home atmosphere since that leeds game has been awful, for instance we have seen tye come back who quite clearly on his day is our best player by miles and he has just come back from an injury and is warming up down the side of the pitch and he's being booed and shouted at, then behind the scenes he's probably got someone trying to get him t sign a new deal every day so we don't lose one of our longest servers and highest scores since we went down on a free. why on earth would he want to stay here and have this every week. As "supporters" i think we can do more to positively effect this season without having to change managers and go back to where we started. when you see clubs who have fallen down the league's and then comeback there's a common denominator that the fans stick with them and eventually things will come good. i know its all good saying this, but then at what point is enough enough with AN. and i think that we can see what he does with a small pot of money in January to tweak the squad as this season will not have gone as expected and then come march if we are still here then obviously we need to look at possible options if he is to go, but i don't think there's anyone that we could quickly snap in now that will save our season. AN has been financially backed and has shown he has what it takes and where we are now under AN surely cant last forever
Lets get behind the lads on Saturday and cross our fingers for a few points before Christmas and then a Jarred Dublin masterclass in Jan
