I don't think it's that simple.

Yes, I take your point about recruitment, however he has talked previously about the type of players needed and he doesn't this time. Nothing really about targets, patience, the market etc etc. All things he's covered at length before.

He does kick all the supporters because he said we had given up after four games. He also says the whole area basically needs to up its game and be more supportive.

And it really isn't about him saying what supporters "want him to say". I'm not entirely sure *what* I want him to say! I get that it's not easy!

But I don't come away from it feeling in the least bit reassured that we are seeking to do anything other than exist.

        Yeah, that wasn't a great comment from him (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, May 26, 12:58:20
        
        Yeah the gut punch of that was huge. We'd bought into the season 'starting' that game. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 26, 13:01:53

        Yeah, he does have a thin skin there. But the atmosphere this season HAS been awful. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 26, 12:54:56
        
        A product of being so bad (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 26, 12:59:54
        
        The atmosphere dives when we concede. (NCFC) - norwaay, May 26, 13:01:20
  - Yeh. Doesn’t matter what he says. Maybe he could do some jokes and act like a clown 🤡 (NCFC) - ChampsChamps2023, May 26, 12:41:02
    - The thing is (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 26, 12:44:18

    - VMT - well said (n/m) (NCFC) - ParrotPuncher, May 26, 12:43:06
- Soccerbot 361 (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, May 26, 12:24:17
