Don’t worry 3-4 days without any new players coming in the board will be awash with them

It's not really though is it. There's plenty of praise on the ratings thread if that's what you crave.

But in most matches we have good spells and bad ones, some players do better than others on the day. I don't get the need for unilateral praise because we won one game.

It really is though.

There’s so much more traffic after a loss.

There is indeed some praise on the ratings thread- and rightly so after a decent win.
However, it strikes me the board is 4 times as busy after a defeat. Granted, people "tend" to take to the internet to write negative stuff, but, when we've played poorly some are starting threads on here before the game has even finished.

It's like they can't wait to put the boot into the club that they claim to support.

Nonsense. Attention seeking, and unnecessarily stirring things up amongst fans when everyone is celebrating.

I think you'd see this on any footie forum though, I don't think our fans are any different in that respect.

There's simply more to critique when we've played badly and everyone has a view on what could be changed to make it better.

I'm interested in those views because there's always room for improvement and simply posting that we're awesome when we win is okay, but doesn't really contribute much to the debate. I don't think the absence of threads like that though mean that we're less happy when we win than we actually are.

Simply put, it's a results based business. Professional sport isn't about the taking part, it's about winning. Two goals, three points, clean sheet job done.

The thing is, when we do win, all I see are the same people moaning about the lack of positive threads, not actually saying anything positive themselves!

They hate it when we win. I suspect that they are about to moan about the lack of January signings

Certainly not trying to sh*t-stir. Please take my word for that.
If you think it's unfair -fine. I respect, but don't necessarily agree with, your view.

It's just the impression I get. You've posted to defend yourself - fine. I see it differently. My reckoning is your more erudite posting is all centred around throwing barbs at the club and whining negatvity. The rest is scarce and seems begrudging. Don't worry, moaning isnt a crime. Some people aren't happy unless they're moaning - I get it.

As for "attention seeking". You have my assurance that if this was something I sought in my life, the last place I would rock up to do that would be a lower divisions football club message board on the internet. You may choose differently.
