Langley Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 We had a pretty much sell out of near 30,000 for a game that was on a Thursday, on sky. Watford have only three stands and 16,000 turned up. 2,000 were us.
Neil_LCFC Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 Attendances don't mean jack, just ask Leeds/Sheff Weds / Wolves against the likes of Wigan.Fulham etc. You have to earn the right on the pitch numbers off it count for nothing,
Langston Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 Meh. They're a small club from a small town (in comparison to Leicester) in an area not too distant from a lot of large London clubs. Let it die. There's nothing they can do about it, really - though they were outsung today.
z-layrex Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 Comparing attendances is childish. It's about what the club achieves on the pitch that matters.
Treacle Fox Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 Comparing attendances is childish. It's about what the club achieves on the pitch that matters. Exactly. What the feck has the amount of fans got to do with anything? Playground argument.
fleckneymike Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 Gary Neville summed it up when he described United in the 70's and 80's harping on about attendances and fan base, 'pathetic, big clubs win things. Little clubs talk about attendances"
Ricey Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 Despite Watford being sponsored by the company I work for, I hope they don't go up for this reason. I want clubs in the top flight with big attendances and large fan bases, more fans to enjoy being there.
Callabinho Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 We finds ways to blame anything, and everything when faced with situations like this. We can blame their use of the loan system, we can say that their ground is not fit to grace the premier league, we can say it was a cruel way to lose the game. But the truth is, had we not had that awful run we would have been watching hull battle it out with Watford instead. So really we should be blaming ourselves.
Haydos Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 Meh. They're a small club from a small town (in comparison to Leicester) in an area not too distant from a lot of large London clubs. Let it die. There's nothing they can do about it, really - though they were outsung today. Well said. I don't think anything covers it better than this, simple as that really.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 What really hacked me off is that 18 games ago automatic promotion was nailed on and then we went on a Pearson inspired run
Haydos Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 What really hacked me off is that 18 games ago automatic promotion was nailed on and then we went on a Pearson inspired run We went on a 'Pearson inspired run' to get into that position.
Corky Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 Their fans are hacking me off, they have one season of playing decent football after years of hoofball and negative tactics and talk about it like they invented one-touch passing play.
GorlestonFox Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 What really hacked me off is that 18 games ago automatic promotion was nailed on and then we went on a Pearson inspired run So who inspired the first half season run?
RedHux Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 What really hacked me off is that 18 games ago automatic promotion was nailed on and then we went on a Pearson inspired run But wasn't the previous fantastic run also Pearson inspired?
Grewks Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 What really hacked me off is that 18 games ago automatic promotion was nailed on and then we went on a Pearson inspired run What about the pearson inspired run before those 18 games?
Grewks Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 But wasn't the previous fantastic run also Pearson inspired? see, even a forest fan with some sense. Some of our fans really wind me up. I know we are not alone though with these sort of idiots. There are a fair few on your boards questioning billy davies even though his run got you a chance of the play-offs anyway. But short-termism is the new way to go for a lot of fans,and it is ridiculous. 12 months is not enough time for a manager to build his first 11, let alone his squad, and considering FFP coming up, it will take even longer.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 Hey we may have been louder than them but the Italians were better.

I want clubs in the top flight with big attendances and large fan bases, more fans to enjoy being there. What a stupid thing to say. I take it you didn't want Wigan to win yesterday? being a small club.

Steady on there, I'm no fan of Davies. After our initial flourish we were very very average and there's all manner of behind the scenes shenanigans that seem very dodgy and will keep yourselves in giggles over the summer. I'm in the camp that changing managers every year/six months in the vague hope one of them gets lucky is massively flawed. Its my opinion that a manager needs to build a team. Over years, not months and Pearson has improved you over the preceding years and there's no reason to think that won't continue. As to what happened after January...I haven't the first idea.

Over years, not months and Pearson has improved you over the preceding years and there's no reason to think that won't continue. As to what happened after January...I haven't the first idea. I put it down to the fact that the likes of wood, knocky, drinky, james, keane, de laet, schlupp have never played so much regular first team football and therefore either... a - were just burnt out b - unable to turn a bad run around because they had never experienced it or probably a combination of both. What didn't help was nuge and konch also having dips, kasper and morgan still played well, but the young ones were real low on confidence due to a lack of experience.
RedHux Posted 12 May 2013 Posted 12 May 2013 From the little I've seen Nugent's massive for you. But you've a really young side and one that's only going to get better and the addition of a decent experienced holding mid type to boss things...perhaps another forward (Vardy didn't really work out did he) and you're about there. I don't see the point of changing things when you're certainly progressing in the right way. Last season you seemed infinitely more flimsy then you have this season. What's that thing you say....? "keep the faith".
