    re: Bowyer has a go at the fans

    It's the headline rather than GB's words that makes it look like he's having a go at the fans. He's simply protecting his players saying that they didn't deserve to be booed off, but doesn't justify those words on yesterdays showing, but on recent performances and where we are now.

    The thing he needs to rememeber though, it we're paying to be there and giving up our time, whereas he and the players are paid to be there. The boo's were because they were lackluster and provided noting in terms of entertainment at all. I'd have been happier in a garden centre yesterday afternoon, and I phucking hate garden centres!

    Anyway, the LT are making this up, the headline and GB's words don't sit hand in hand.

    I agree Howie that yesterdays performance was completely unacceptable. But I understand that Bowyer has to focus on the next 3 games. He probably shouldn't have mentioned it at all. It was quite muted on the boo front and could have been much worse after the sh1te that shower served up yesterday.

    Champs, Howie is calling it as he sees it on a game by game basis. That's it. Also, after watching dire performances, there is a right to say so. You are critising posters who are actually going to games, based on overall results and the press reports you read. Come down more often and call it as you see it

    Dan, I live and work in Leeds, not too far, but I do work on a Saturday. I put my job ahead of anything as I am sure you will understand.
    I actually go to quite a number of games over a whole season, considering I can't make Sat games, I think is quite good.

    I at no point critisised Howie? My post asks - as I work - and you guys go to games more than me - which I clearly state in the opening sentance, which you missed...is this feeling wide-spread or isolated?
    I can see why Howie doesn't rate GB, as he puts his opinion on here. I am allowed to state my opinion...or am I as I dont go to games? You will be saying this to Auks

    re: Bowyer has a go at the fans

    one more thought..(sorry on one today )..ok poor first half performance ..im sure GB would have been aware of other results elsewhere ..surely if he cant sort it tactically ..what about just firing into the players ? ..look all results going our way ..get out there and get those 3points ..but second half ..we looked even worse ..!!..i dunno..:/

    Cheers Howie. Thats why I wanted to ask you.
    I should'nt have used the word 'dislike' as thats actually irrelevant. I basically meant, are others starting to see it that way too?

    Like I tried to explain to your Mrs ...sorry Dan ...the stance you take, I totally see, and understand. You go more than me (sorry Dan) and your strong opinion is making sense at times.
    I will say, not one I will always agree with, but interesting all the same...certainly for one that can't go to games.
    I could've gone yesterday...being honest I had no will power to trail over from Leeds to see a game I was sc
