The truth of the matter is, when we used to be up and down under Clough, there wee far more negative posts. If Clough had a record of 1 win in 6, he would have been attacked from all sides, and there would have been no argument allowed about quality of opposition or any other excuse.
Now its McClaren, there seems to be less so of an issue. Is this because some supporters wanted change?
Personally, I still stand by that we have just had our heads turned by the match against Chelsea, the fact our squad is still thinner than most, so cant compete when we hit a fixture congestion like at Xmas and we had a good period after a change in management. The last defeat, also highlights how Leicester have spent heavily in the last couple of seasons and are now reaping the rewards of holding on to them and keeping faith in their manager.
We are still moving forward, we have some very interesting fixtures coming up again, with teams we can beat. It is still looking very rosy at DCFC and I still f

IMO, the reason it was more of an issue under Clough was because of the time Clough had, ie 5 years. When he first took over (and dont forget he took a while to get his first win with us, everyone (including me) was saying he needed time and wouldnt hear a word against him, rightly so. Fortunately or Unfortunately, depending what side of the fence you sit on, Clough has now gone. Mac has been here about 3 months in which time we have had the best run in about 40 years, regardless of opposition (I dont believe that in 5 years of being with us Clough never had a period of easier games?) we then have a cpl of bad games and he takes criticism. Is that fair? Some on here seem obsessed with Clough, the fact surely is, Clough is not coming back so shouldnt we be now getting behind the current management team? if we have taken a step back as some seem to believe, dont they deserve our support in the same way Clough did for atleast his first 3 or 4 years?
