I wasn’t there but would have been nice if while criticising the players he acknowledged the supporters who invest huge amounts of time and money to be served up with this performance.

I don’t think I missed him saying it

That’s the problem with interviews straight after the game. Having exchanged pleasantries with Dowse many times recently I have absolutely no doubt that he and the club appreciate the time, money and commitment it’s fans invest.

I'm with you on this one, always feel like interviews shouldn't happen straight after the game when emotions are high. Dowse isn't stupid he know exactly what he needs to sort but he's not going to be able to explain all of that in a 5 minute interview.

Dowse is a great manager and has had a start to this season nobody saw coming. Now is the time to get those signings hes been talking about through the door to ensure we don't drop off.

If we play really well and win comfortably they don't ask us for more money

You pay your money and take your chances, it's football.

Good point. But my comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek Park Life. More of a statement to ‘underline’ the disappointing performance (again in a cup match against lower opposition) combined with respect to you and the other poor sods who, unlike the team, made the effort. Thankfully, our great performances seriously outweigh the shit ones.

Wasn't aimed at anyone in particular mate as there were a few who made the comment and lets be honest, they will comment again because they are regular supporters who follow the team through thick and thin and days like yesterday p everyone off.

Why do we do it???

It's our team and in our blood........ along with the alcohol

See you at Oxford.
