    You said loads left at 0-2 and they didn't. There was say 1500/2k left at 0-3 and then over the following 30 mins more left with the vast majority leaving from 80 mins onwards. But IF you were in the Strawberry just after 62 mins after the third went in you wouldn't have seen.

    two things
    where do i say i was in the strawb when we were 3-0 down and when do i say anyone left at half time
    people flooded out at 2-0 and more so at 3-0

    i left the ground on 80 odd minutes
    for no other erason than i wasnt applauding that lot
    no fight no brains and no desire

    all gone under rafa
    we are very weak with no fight

    and raf is the genious we must trust to get us out of it

    i just hope he gets the lads set up for a big game against WBA

    mind you i thought the lads would have been up for a fight against watford
    that so many on here predicted were relegation material
    their manager is a country mile better than rafa



    someone said no one left and i put a video up that proves thousands left the ground

    loads of empty seats in one stand alone

    that doesnt even show the level seven side iw as in
    and iy doesnt even get the watford fans singing is their a fire drill or even bye bye bye

    I never said you were in the Strawberry at 0-3 I said IF you were, but clearly you were as you left the ground on '80 odd minutes' (so anything from 80/89).

    Why would people flood out at 0-2 when we were still technically in the game? Are you saying they left at HT 47, 50, 53, 57, 61 mins ie before 0-3?

    [QUOTE=Asset stripping is way off the mark because we never really had any to begin with...anymore than we had to start with.
    In fact if I had to argue the point I'd say the club has more assets since Ashley took over than before he took over.....but like I say. It's swings and roundabouts..[/QUOTE]

    the fact is he did away / franchised out a good many avenues of income for the club because none of it could directly help him in his mission/goal of using us as an advertising vehicle for his beloved sports direct.

    how quickly/easily they can be brought back in and used to increase the overall income depends on what sort of contracts he entered with those who took them over

    14 points from 13 games still on course for an ok season. That's what we should be aiming for, to at least stay up. We get told we are deluded but we are no different to others.

    BOB far to many rightly so were expecting more with Rafa at the helm
    no we are just happy staying up

    why

    if i was brighton huddersfield,palace and a few more i may be happy with staying up

    but we came up as chapions with a good squad with many only out the prem for one season and some top names brought for the fizzy

    and a supposed world class manager in Rafa
    with players he brought

    why shouldnt we be more optomistic than just praying we get enough points to stay up

    i havent seen anything lately from Rafas team selections and tactics that would tell me if he did have a huge transfer kitty he would do any thing with it

    give that kitty to the liiks of the watford manager the brighton manager etc and im sure they would do better

    I did say an ok season not just to stay up. I think Ritchie is a bit of a talisman and he needs to step it up. He was on fire when we had the good patch but has been quiet since. Bit like last season when he was quiet for 6/7 games we weren't as good/productive. Hopefully Lascelles is back soon as I think he's been a miss.

    I think both Huddersfield and Brighton will be down there at the end of the season.

    Ritchie loses heart when he sees a lot of wasted effort up front or getting into the danger zones and coming to nothing and leaving him having to bust a gut to get back to ensure we don't get stung.

    Add the quality to the forward line and Ritchie will produce and get his mojo back..
