oh Steve fucking hell, fans can still be supporters and have a different opinion positive or negatively. Have you been asleep for the last 4 seasons? Fml. No, that's the point, reading it being & dragged down by it. Up the positivity 👏👏👏 Going on Tuesday Steve mate or the negativity putting you off?

1. I'm not a leader 2. With your post, you're guilty of doing exactly what you are accusing me of. We need leaders on the pitch, in the backroom staff, in the stands and on social media. If you don't want to be one (not even try), that's up to you. Leadership makes diffeerent forms and often involves the courage to swim against the tide. Advising someone to consider the impact of their comments on others, is not the same as voicing an entirely negative view. Sorry everyone, I must apologise. Apparently me thinking (and saying) we've been shite is part of the reason we're shite. I'll be amending the rules forthwith that only positive opinions are allowed from here on in, subject to an immediate lifetime ban Idiocy.

You are perpetuating negative opinions and giving them credibility because of your position. They’re your opinions, not facts, not all of us agree with them and they don’t help the club. I’m amazed you can’t understand that in your position you should try and be balanced with your opinions. Otherwise let someone else who can be do it. If you think anyone seriously thinks my views of football somehow have more credibility then anyone else by virtue of being an admin, then perhaps the internet is not for them. What a ridiculous argument. In my position, my responsibility is to enforce the rules of the forum. That's where it begins and ends. The irony is that lately I (above any other admin, bizarrely) have been the subject of abuse for apparently stifling free speech relating to homophobia on the politics board, and here you are telling me I can't express an opinion about football on a football forum. fucking ridiculous.

I quote, from Rich "They’re your opinions, not facts, not all of us agree with them and they don’t help the club." I was considered with my first post on this thread. I considered putting "fucking shite" but self-edited.

And balance? This isn't the BBC. I'm not Moira Stewart. Id expect it to err on the side of positivity if I’m honest, I thought the thing that united us was wanting the club to achieve things. I have a different view on how to go about that than you clearly.

I agree with Rich that you would expect those in an official capacity should make an effort despite all the absolute shite spoken on here by many.

We should be pleased with the win but we know we’re riding our luck atm - we could easily be sat here having lost the last 3
Lots of work to do
I’ll give him credit for making the change in the second half

I said before season Colwill is an excellent signing, could be a future England player. Pearson no nonsense defender from a championship team with a better defensive record than ours - just don’t make him pass! As for the league one gk & defender (and the above to be fair) it’s early days Turton looks like a league 1 player in the Championship so far Good on Nicholls for saves yesterday. He had 2 things to do Tuesday - one excellent punch under pressure and one awful drop which could have cost us

Just got to hope the run continues.....we were dreadful tues night and far from fluent yday but results count at start of the season as they stop the pressure of catch up football later. As such CC deserves credit - lets hope it continues and those who doubt him me included are eating large portions of humble pie.

As such CC deserves credit - lets hope it continues and those who doubt him me included are eating large portions of humble pie. I think this is a fair assessment of our situation. I too am far from convinced but if I'm wrong, and I often am, then happy days. A fantastic last minute winner didn't improve our squad or put our overall senior recruitment in a better light. We still need better players in key positions. I said I had a low bar this season with avoiding relegation with a degree of comfort my best hope. Results like yesterday go a long way to achieving this. The question is can we sustain the results? Moreover can we improve performances and sustain the results? I hope so but have seen enough to leave me concerned. As always, hoping for the best.

While I understand the benefits for positivity the forum admins are not bbc journalists. They are fans who are entitled to their view - sometimes I may agree and other times I won’t but that’s opinions
Personally I prefer people saying it as they see it. The clubs comms are basically feel good propaganda, they always have to be positive even when they’re polishing a turd. That sometimes costs them creditability in terms of objectivity but clearly no expects an official club comm to hang a player out to dry etc
I don’t however expect an admin on a independent forum though to follow the clubs party line

Ultimately, at the end of the season, I look at our points tally and that’s that. I don’t think, or care, about how we accumulated those points.
Which is why I’m not going to be overly critical.
We have won our last 2 games despite being absolutely shit.
But, come what May, will I be thinking about our performances against Preston and Sheff United in August? Almost certainly not.
Make no mistake though, the last two results don’t change my stance on CC. It’s okay cashing in on your luck when you have the odd off-game, but we haven’t played well for longer than 15 mins in any of our first 4 games.
That’s not sustainable. And it could come back to bite us.
But, we have 7 points after 4 games, and that’s a decent points return, regardless of performance. Now let’s keep going.

No amount of positive thinking will fix the deficiencies in the squad. And people have the right to point out those deficiencies and where they could lead. Despite what others are saying.
In the other hand we have to accept where we are. We have the players we have It's another season of grinding out results.
At least Corberan seems to accept this and has changed the playing style. It remains to be seen whether he can get the system working.

Usually after a tonking its about how you react next time out, although a dour match a win and clean sheet was had on tuesday, and an away win yesterday means to me town have reacted brilliantly, credit where credits due.

Grimois' opinion and that's what it is an opinion,is as valid as anyone elses and carries equal weight. The only time it doesn't is when some breaches the rules. Richhtfc, this site allows all opinions and there's been some pretty crackpot ones over the years. But they're allowed. You seem to want to change the ethos of this. Having the site toeing the club line and controling the message. 'leaders on social media' This site is independent of the club. That is how it should remain.

Keep playing like the last 3 games and we will go down, it's that simple. Thankfully we've had some good fortune against Preston and Sheff Utd which has got us up and running and hopefully brings some confidence to this group who still look terrified to express themselves every time they step on the pitch
