Totally understand the sentiment but disagree on many points - of course a manager merry go round rarely solves anything, sure JFH warrants a full season to ultimately be judged and personally I have never booed players of managers however dire they have been (in my opinion) - however I, like other reasonable posters can (without being abusive) post an opinion on what I see and to refer to others as brainless fuckwits doesn't add to the credibility of your opinion.

So why are we critical?

Most reasonable fans expected, not a play off place but a more comfortable mid table position - matched by improving performances after the transfer window - early days but not happening at the moment coupled with the entertainment value which (as QPR fans warned us) is dire - I guess he was experimenting his artistic flair there as well!
Despite your prose - I don't want an artist as a manager of my league 1 side - I want a manager that has some leadership capabilities and some tactical know how - currently I see neither (and could write many paragraphs on what I do see on match days).
To say there are no more Chris Wilders is nonsense - of course there is (otherwise football dies) but you need to be both luck and usually patient to benefit from such talent - which is really your point on JFH but it's a risk and my opinion is it's a bad one from what I see - but a bit like redevelopment I can't influence it so he and the team have my support but it does not stop me or others expressing observations and concerns.   

Read with interest your comments (endorsed by Glaston') on Exiles message.  Just like to express a few observations if I may on your comments.

I for one judging by the recent signings hoped we might make a push for playoffs! It would not surprise me to learn that quite a few Supporters felt the same. Regarding the artist comment, yes that is controversial but would suggest that JFH has leadership and certainly tactical ability which he has demonstrated particularly in away games. The point is that CW worked for us (as did Dave Bowen) but am not sure CW was entirely successful at Oxford. The point is we have appointed two managers of reasonable ability but both have failed so as Exile says CW is virtually impossible to replace. Perhaps JFH can become that man? However to prejudge JFH after 16 games are meaningless.To me, the whole point about Exiles message is to give the bloke a break and offer instead wholehearted support which I think you agree on although it appeared a little reluctant. After the Oxford game, so many of us threw our toys out of the pram, some more or less countenancing a change of Manager! This thing about some taking a high handed attitude over fellow supporters not at the game(s)is a red herring and more often than not is a convenient way to interpret a message to further their argument.
