I agree Sam that some of our fans are perennial whingers and find a cloud in every silver lining, AVFC runs in the blood and it's often a desperate passion for them to do well which results in frustration when we don't see attractive football and goals. Whatever 11 Brucie picks the approach always seems to be far too cautious and therefore teams know exactly how to play against us at VP.

Yes we have no right to win games but the huge investment in this squad demands a return, including 95 minutes of hard work all over the pitch.

The MON moans were because we had no plan B, so many home games against lesser teams ended up as draws. Again the massive investment should have yielded better and MON bought players who never or hardly played for him.
