I can't ever remember a time when shitty wanky little teams like Fulham and Bolton were coming to SJP and I was expecting them to go away with anything other than their tail between their legs.

 

Even under Souness, I expected us to win our home games. Now I go in hope, not expectation.

Home form has turned to complete shit and teams that would normally be brushed aside are not only snatching draws but getting all three points.

 

Its made all the worse by the fact i've never seen such a collection of shite as the teams we've seen at St. James' so far and we've struggled badly against them.

We were as poor under Souness tbh, although that is hardly a ringing endorsement of the current regime, is it?

It's driving the fans away more than under Souness too.

 

Only 48,000 yesterday. Never dropped as low for a Souness league game.

I think that's the cumulative effect of the last three seasons rather than being purely down to Roeder though. The club is going in the wrong direction and has been for a while now. :lol:

On the plus side, it takes away the "full houses ever week" line from Leazes stock response to ANYTHING about Shepherd. Once Villa finish miles above us this season his 5th best on average argument will be gone too. I don't see many England internationals signing during the summer either.......

We'll still be 6th best though. HOW OFTEN WERE WE 6th BEST UNDER McKEAG, EH, EH?

 

This is probably worth a thread on its own, but does anyone think the atmosphere is just horrible at the match now? It's so negative, not just as in the we are shit negative, but horribly so, with the fans at the players throats (both sides usually) and slagging the referee and officials, Roeder and his clueless assistants, and other fans. It's not pleasent, and it's not enjoyable. If it goes on much longer, we'll see a significant drop in attendance next year.

I seen it mentioned somewhere else that a lot of the reasoning behind so many ST sales is the people are worried that if they don't buy their STs they will not get in from game to game.

 

Clearly, with yesterdays attendance that is no longer the case. This could lead to ST sales being significantly lower now people know they can pick and choose their games.

It's a possibility next year like, I'm tempted to pick and choose, although no doubt I'll get a ST as usual. If it does happen, Shepherd's failure will be complete.

Aye, I know I'll end up renewing and it's probably a mistake. £600 is a HELL of a lot to keep coming back and paying for what's being served up.

 

You should move near to me - SJH L4. Better view from where you are I reckon (behind a goal but much nearer the pitch), but, more importantly, quite a lot cheaper. I know of several people who won't renew if FS is still in charge and they mean it, definitely not bluffing.

It's a canny seat where me and Dave (SLP) sit in the NE Corner. Canny bit less than £600 too (I think it's about £480 although I may be wrong). Good view too.
