Not really anything to be embarrassed about given the first half and the form over the last few weeks.
Plenty of enjoyment mind, and excellent come back
Well you and Darren certainly were expecting a defeat - which sums your attitude to our manager up perfectly. DF has done an incredible job this season, the sooner you, Darren and a few others start to appreciate it the better. Who knows, you might even start to enjoy this season!
I was delighted but not surprised by our comeback today, we have some fantastic attacking players and play such a positive brand of football you can see us doing this sort of thing. Not a chance on hell would we have done this under the funt.
You confuse hope with expectation Rob.
In a game where you are as off the pace as we were in the 1st half yesterday and 2-0 down you hope your going to win, but expect that you won't as those Lazarus type comebacks are very very rare.
It's also normal for fans to carry out a half time inquest after a first half battering and wonder where it all went wrong.
It's no more embarrassing than applauding the lads off after drubbing. It's what fans do.
So it's purely a coincidence that the negativity comes from those who wanted DF sacked?
That's what annoys folk, it's like they can't wait until we are losing so they can stick the knife in.
Not at all.
People who wanted him sacked a year ago are perhaps a little more anxious that history might repeat itself on the run in again this season (personally I think we'll be okay) and might be a little more inclined to be pessimistic when we're 2 down at half time for the second away game in a row.
I think there is only one poster on the board who takes pleasure in a defeat, and I base that on the fact he NEVER post after a win.
The DF sceptics are mostly being won over this season, they do all post win, lose or draw and I also think they (me included) will all be delighted to be proven wrong.
Now you need to stop beating fellow Stags fans over the head with their genuinely held opinions because it makes you sound a bit of a tool to be honest.
BTW a 14 page match thread after a win must be some kind of record.
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
