I was right last season quite early on. There are people who want this to mess up, who want the next result to be the defining loss. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've stayed with them through everything and wish they hadn't. So are left with nothing but resentment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesnt mean they want us to lose, its a genuine question, because there is a huge difference between not having the confidence we can ride through it and wanting the club to fail at its task. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That changes everything then. Their attitude is no different to a wife who says 'Next time he comes home drunk thats it - its over'. She want to fella to mess up.

It's very subjective I suppose. But genuinely I do think there are posters who prefer being proven right in their doom and gloom mongering to the club winning. That's what I've taken from the relentless and crushing negativity of their posts, the fact they are nowhere to be seen other than when we lose and when we do lose they are all over the forum. I do agree that for some it's just a very emotional, emotive thing and when they're up they're up and when they're down they're down. That's a bit different to constantly sniping at the club at every single opportunity. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying the pissed away part is final, we have 10 games to rectify it and let's hope our poor form is now a thing of the past because unfortunately for us it has come with less time to correct than Leeds and Ipswich had with theirs. We also at one stage increased our lead over Leeds from 8 to about 17 in the space of 5 games or something daft earlier in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cropwellfox Posted 9 March Share Posted 9 March (edited) Got to give Leeds and Ipswich so much respect for what they are doing, grinding out wins when it matters most by either overturning losing positions or dominating teams. Leeds in particular barely conceding goals at all now. Just can’t see where either will suffer a loss of form whilst we’ve been pretty patchy for 2 months now. Playoffs as big a lottery as ever, could easily be drawn against a team with 20+ points less but in better form. Yuk. For the neutrals this years championship must be one of the best ever Edited 9 March by Cropwellfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuntman_Mike Posted 9 March Share Posted 9 March As much as the drama is great in this league, it's tough when it's your own team! Call me entitled, but the thought of paying £40 for a play off game pisses me off We really need some luck this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the neutrals this years championship must be one of the best ever Firstly, i agree that you have to give both clubs respect, especially Ipswich. But it's also got to be a pain for them to go on these runs and still see us sat at the top. Lets not pretend it's completely plain sailing for them either. Earlier this year Ipswich went on a horrible run (which if they navigated better would be nicely clear at the top) and are currently having to score 3 a game to win matches. Those own goals and deflections cant keep happening can they?. Today will be interesting. Leeds were held to a draw against 10 man Huddersfield - the sort of result that would our doom mongers salivating. So they both will drop points - it's inevitable. fwiw, i think Leeds will win the league and i don't really care. I think we will come 2nd and Ipswich will be 3rd. But still a lot of games and an international break to come, so what do i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see last season's car crash coming and was amazed how many stuck with Rodgers (inc foxes trust). So doomsayers like us are sometime right. I guess things are tough right now .... but last season showed the foxestalk barometer is not an accurate forecast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 9 March Share Posted 9 March No one wants us to lose. Some people moan when we do lose. It's annoying but exactly what every other club's fans do on their forums. It's what they're here for surely? What's become equally as annoying is the people who come on here to moan about the moaners. I actually think they find more gratification in us losing so they can jump in on those who are just angry/upset we've lost. History suggests we are on the brink of the classic disaster that seems to happen every few years here. People are pessimistic and will choose to air their fears on a forum. Fingers crossed every thing goes perfectly from today and no one ever feels the need to express negative thoughts on here. But it's unlikely x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's unlikely x Tell you what's the worst - someone coming on moaning about the moaners who are moaning about the moaners. But the in match thread does tell me there are people who want it to be awful and want us to lose. But come on, there is a difference between saying 'i think we are in the sort of poor form that means we are going to lose more ground to Leeds / Ipswich' and saying 'lose today and we are DOOMED and it's ALL OVER!'. Losing today would be horrible, but it wouldn't all be over, but we would have made the task significantly more difficult with no more margin for error. I said before the Sunderland game we are likely in the process of bottling it - but this can be turned around. This division doesn't always go the way you expect it to.
