Think we need to just accept that Gale is this years scapegoat and move on. It was GT last year, JDC at the start of this season and now it naturally has to be somebody else's turn. Fans need to have individuals to blame

Not seeing many comments about Gale having a bad attitude - weird that innit. Unless all the WW psychologists are just having a day off.

This is a fantastic example of what the problem is now though. No mention of the fact we were in a very good position with 10 games left and basically gave up? The same players that lifted when Jules took over, just suddenly downed tools? Or did the manager not get the best out of them? Anyway, it's all good in hindsight. I just think we're extremely patient as a fanbase - other clubs would expect more, I imagine.

Your last sentence is a superb summary 👏

I hope you're right, pal - I really do. We've been waiting for it to click since SS came in and no doubt there's been moments when we thought it had e.g Birmingham (H) last season. I suppose at what point do you accept it isn't going to click? For me, the end of last season and so far this season has been well below everybody's expectations (if we're being completely honest). We've endured a season of hope and patience rather than enjoyment. I've been quite vocal on here in saying that this management period has sucked all the enjoyment out of me and a lot of my mates. 12 of us sit together and I think only 3 have reached double figures in games this season. Whether we go up or not - this season has taken it's toll.

No doubt, Gonzo. There's been some fantastic moments- but lets not forget the 80 odds minutes before the highlights We've slogged our way through games and then showed unbelievable resilience to get back in to games - I think that's SS' biggest and possibly only plus IMO

I'll tell you what. This season has been easily the most miserable season since I've supported BWFC. Before all you dinosaurs pipe up and tell me your most miserable one, this is just my opinion. With the exception of, I think, Port Vale at home and Exeter Away, every single game over the last 6-months has been a slog. Whether it's the absolute shite we've seen today or the draws against team we should be beating., it's been seriously tough viewing. Immense credit to those who have stuck with it and question marks to those who still think what they are seeing is okay - we're achieving complete mediocrity.

I've never really noticed tbh, but now that you mention it. He goes to these rallies acting as though he's neutral when he clearly isn't. Think he might have accidently included himself signing along with Rule Britannia on a recent video.

The thing is, he's sober, filming people who are evidently too pissed to put together a reasoned argument as to why they don't want to be filmed - this then naturally makes them look stupid or confrontational. I'm sure a lot of these people are actually decent human beings, just trying to enjoy themselves. It's laughable that he thinks he's smarter than everyone else because he obviously has his pre-prepared spiels which he uses when somebody challenged him. It's not all bad though, my personal highlight was the one where his mate got his camera smashed and then cried to the police; the same police who's job they make harder by antagonising people. Excellent irony.

Properly, properly winds me up this lad. I think he genuinely believes he's doing a public service and is one of the good guys. In reality, he's out filming vulnerable people, often antagonising them hoping for a reaction. Every single video, there's somebody who reacts badly to being filmed and end up either kicking off with him or somebody else, some get locked up while others surely do massive reputational damage. I watch his videos which makes me part of the problem, I know. I'd be interested to hear other views on this?

You're obviously a fan of SS and fair fucks. Where's the improvement since he's come in? I don't think any players have improved and every single loan player has declined.

Elaborate then!? What has improved? Did he not take over a club ready to be promoted, IE took us as far as he could and we needed someone else to take us to the next level? Performances are a pretty good indicator I would say!? I do actually care how we play - not just about the result. So we tossed off last season then, glad you agree with that one atleast. No idea who we would get in - it's hypothetical.

Nope. This isn't reactive - check my previous posts if you need to. I'm very much of the opinion that we haven't improved under SS. We're the best supported club in the league, one of the highest budgets and some of our fanbase seem to be content with the fact we are crawling our way to the play-offs. Love your optimism desperado but i'm worried we're settling for the bare minimum

Which part do you disagree with jmjhb?

What's your point?
