For as long as we've been in the top league fans on here have been screaming at managers to stop talking us down with talk of survival being the number one priority etc. Even when Butcher and his successor would talk about being focused on catching the team in front each week people would ask for more optimism and ambition.
Now we've got a manager who hasn't/isn't saying those things you'd think people would be pleased......but alas, it's not to be.
The point is not about what should or shouldn't be said, it's that some people seem intent on criticising; regardless of what is said.
Just for the sake of clarity, I'm not being critical of the support the manager/team get at matches. Those who turn up, home and away, have been great, IMO.
