    Our fickle fans

    Take the Mansfield game or how poor we had played before playing them.

    During the game a vast majority of OUR own fans were gleefully joining in with the Stags fans singing....

    'Sacked in the morning....you're getting sacked in the morning'...directed at Steve Evans. We lost yet again and the boos were ringing out loud and proud once again.

    Fast forward to today and once the team was announced well, you can what the atmosphere was like pre kick off....'He's feckin clueless'....'he's got to go'....and so on.

    Turned out to be an alright if not better performance than expected albeit against a far inferior side like Stockport.

    We take the lead and it started . 'That man Steve Evans he does what he wants'....and more but this time...'That man Steve Evans he eats what he wants'....and more....'That man Steve Evans he says what he wants'....then it happened!

    'Evans Evans give us a wave ....Evans give a wave'.....the crowd waited....he turned and paused then.....the right arm came up
    and the love in began all over again....... I stood there smiling shaking my head thinking 'You two faced two hats'

    Football is so emotive and passionate but our lot will have anyone hung drawn and quartered before the war is ended.

    'Ooh to ooh to be ooh to be a....Miller!'

    You obviously cannot spot sarcasm then. Because it would have been. Powell did well, again after a messy long ball….with little going right other times. Very lucky win.

    You are right we had luck in the goal, but Wrexhams win at ours was lucky, Bristol draw at ours was lucky, it happens. However we can criticise when it is needed and I still think long ball down the middle to Nombe and Wilks is silly but overall, that was a much better performance and we should take the positives when they are there.

    The away supporters are the only thing that?s loyal or worth speaking about away from home.
    In the long line of fickle people I would say the supporters aren?t nowhere near the top of the list.
    Players getting paid for not turning up on the pitch would be as fickle as you get pal. 😊

    Boxing day, Stockport County were singing away at our NYS, while in the Millers North stand
    you could have heard a pin drop.
    We got the equaliser, & the North stand woke up, & started to get behind the team.
    Steve Evans should see that his hoof ball tactics don't work, & play to players feet more, he
    would get the fans behind the team, but he needs to sort out where he decides the playing
    positions of the players.
    Oddofin playing at centre back is working, while Humphrey in a defensive midfield position
    also worked yesterday against Lincoln City.
    But don't let us get carried away, Lincoln City were a poor side, but a better team than
    Northampton Town.
    We need a attacking midfielder desperately to supply our forwards, while using a winger on
    the correct wing.
    Nombe needs a centre-forward alongside him who can knock the ball down to him, but a
    center-forward needs a supply of the ball in the box.

    Because I?m not a fan of Evans, his football style, his lack of responsibility, his attitude towards fans, players, refs and colleagues or his tactical knowledge.

    It doesn?t mean I want the team to fail while he is manager.
    I can?t even put Rotherham down on BTTS because it would mean I want the opposition to score against my club.
