Sorry guys, just had to vent somewhere!
Not that the players or management read YF but if they did it would be clear to them that there is an extreme disparity between the club, it’s management and fans over Karl and the performances to date.
Many of the Players and staff rally to his defence which is a good thing and recent games have shown fight but I do wonder if some players find this current situation as one of ‘them’ against us?
I truly hope not, because, by and large, the fan base has kept itself from all out dissent on the terraces.
Only on here is there open and full on criticism, most of which is directed at KR.
I understand that too.
In fact I totally get why we feel this way. You cannot feel any other way when you cast your mind back and see where we have come from since the arrival of Appleton.
Out with the shite and in with dynamic blitzkrieg football. High tempo excitement that led to promotion.
With a blip over Clotet, we returned to more boom boom football under Karl for a few seasons and it was great to watch. Pace. With attack minded players drafted in and we flew.
All those shitty seasons where we flatlined in obscurity had been blown away.
We heavy petted with another promotion. Flair encouraged to shine in a breezeblock temple.
New owners then came along and offered us a dream of a future filled with better days. In a stadium we could finally be proud to call our own. Their Ambition knitted neatly into our patent success on the field…And then at the tail end of last season, the wheels fell off.
For whatever reason/s, Injury, Results and recruitment saw us lose our way. I think most of us expected Karl to fix the glaring, in yer face problems that blunted our momentum but he didn’t/couldn’t. Hasn’t!
The current players are by and large trying to fix it and are to be applauded for making a fist of it but the buck ultimately stops with Karl.
The thing is, No matter what we feel about him, we all want the best for our club. If he cannot recruit, inspire, instruct and organise our team to promotion, then it is clear that the club has to find someone who can.
Nothing personal. No name calling from me. He has given us some wonderful cup games and some thrilling matches along the way and I still forlornly hope that this team will discover it’s mojo and storm the rest of the season.
However, he let it all slip, just when we needed him to put the finishing touches to the plan.
It just hurts knowing we were so close.
Unless this squad find their feet and win the s**t out of this league, he’s a gonner!!
