I have lost count of how many times this season i have thought today's the day we are going to turn it round.
How many must win matches have we had.

How many times recently has we the fans have turned up and the team hasn't.

Still posters are telling how good NP is a manager comparing him to failures to prove their point.

Tommorow the fans will support the team and i will be cheering them on as i have done for over 45 years.

But only the clinically naive can still think that Nigel is the one to lead us to the promise land this year imo.

It will take a miracle to make that happen but as the special one says "in football miracles happen"

Good luck to all tomorrow UFT's

Nev all you say is true.Trouble is too many think criticism is negativity.
I have followed city for 50 years nad feel entitled to vent my feelings.
i hope we turn it around , but having seen all the games recently i cant see it.
It is not the results but the performances which are the problem, Np does not seem to be able to stop the rot.
Lets all hope he can tomorrow, and total admiration for the 2000 or so making the journey.

Well said, Nev and Thorney. Rather too many thought police on this site.

Nice try Leeds, but some people just don't want to be positive.

I entirely agree that we should get behind the team and support NP until the end of the season. Clearly lack of continuity is our problem and there are countless examples of mangers coming good after difficult runs; O'Neil and Fergusson being good examples, Everton keeping faith with Moyes after they flirted with relegation might be the best.

Yes be positive, yes support the team, yes KTF and yes show the lads you are behind them at the game. But having an opinion, being able to vent your spleen and sound off on how the manager (whether MO'N,Taylor, Levein, SGE, Pearson or whoever) is doing is part of what this place is about.

Despite posting stats about our position and the managerial potentials over the past couple of days - which suggested that life under NP isn't so bad - it doesn't make the drastic loss of form any easier to swallow. It doesn't make me feel confident that NP is capable of turning it around. I will believe we can until it is mathematically impossible BUT I also reserve the right to feel mightily 9issed off about how we are playing and disillusioned about the season and to communicate those feelings on here.

A difference of opinion is extremely important and this place (and football generally) would be dire if we won everything. To recognise and extract the most joy from the good times you have to also experience the schit times. So, yes, in principle I am with you 'Fox in Leeds' in staying positive because we are still in with a shout of promotion but we should also be free to bleat, moan, bawl, whine, lament and complain about how it makes you FEEL.

Positivity is an attitude, not an opinion. By all means have and share your opinions when necesary, but still you should remain positive. Negativity breeds failure, positivity breeds success!
