That's fair enough. I'm a ST holder but unfortunately on the odd occasion have arrived a few minutes after kick-off and found it easier to sit in the East until HT.
You were sat in the East but behind the play.
Yes, it's very difficult getting to your seat in the North this season once we've kicked off... Grin

At least CJ reads the posts before commenting. I think Clarence's explanation on his dual seating arrangements for last week is admirable. No wonder Clarence's opinion on the potentially offside goal was so accurate.

Very good couple of posts!

Unfortunately Nevers seems to have his own insecurities that he struggles to deal with resulting in him mocking others for having a different opinion or not getting to some games.

I think most people resented KVV last year because it certainly appeared as though the effort was just not there for most of the time. For example would he have chased down the lost caused on Saturday which created the winning goal - My opinion is probably not.

That has been the big change on the face of it this year - I think the quality was always there, it was the perceived application and that's where Curle is getting more from him at the moment.

Please stop issuing repeated personal snipes - please follow Cobblerswatch advice of being respectful to all posters.
Thank you.

He’ll be our top scorer next season and by springtime there’ll be a VV away day where everyone is wearing a ginger beard and singing ‘when it spring again I’ll sing again Van Vein from Amsterdam’

Good ol Buster - lets hope your 'prophesy' is correct.

To someone who calls himself Ron Obvious I would have thought the reason he needs to perform consistently is in itself pretty obvious !
Of course it applies to all players but KVV has been inconsistent for both us and Sc***horpe which is why some managers here have dropped him and Sc***horpe didn’t renew his contract .
My simple point is , if KC can infiltrate his head and get last Saturdays performance level most weeks, we have one of the best players in division 2 .
At the end of the day he would be one of the highest paid players in the league and so you do expect that level of repayment .

So you have moved your personal requirements of the week in week out performance of van Veen from every week to most weeks. Far more reasonable! If only you had said that in the first place.  Grin

Considering Mr Boots had some pretty nasty things to say on this very thread re vV it is a remarkable turnaround. Or is it going with the crowd 🏐🤾🏼‍♂️
As usual , you try and make this a personal thing .....
If a player starts performing to his capabilities and stops shirking then , of course you are going to get behind them whoever they are .
That applies to supporters and coaching staff .
There’s a lot of people currently digging out Cornell, Taylor and Hoskins on here . I’m not one of them but everyone is entitled to their opinion .

I said last season when he was (deservedly) getting pelters... there's a good player in there, somewhere. The big thing is how to unlock that.

I think VV will enjoy KC's "complex" comments, it adds to his "aura". If it gives him added swagger then great - I want my forwards confident - cocky even, not shy and worried about the next miss...

I thought that vV played ok today made some notable contributions. Was surprised how well he fell into his defensive duties which he put a good face on. Glad he played his part.

I thought he had a great game, every kick from Cornell went to him and he dealt with them all well. He's a feisty one too.

He strikes me of one of those "needs to be loved" characters. I'm convinced if we take him on board and get behind him, we'll reap the benefit.

Absolutely, I still think he needs to be careful with his reaction to players fouling him and winding him up. Always a yellow card in him and I still think he will see red at some point this season. Having said that he is one if not the most skillful players we have and will win us games with his class.

I think some on here will have a mountain to climb to get to the 'love in' stage.

The vast majority of fans will get behind him if he produces the goods, there is no conspiracy theory. Supporters are willing to change their mind on players. We've seen it with the likes of JJOT, Kelvin Langmead and Rod McDonald, who were really not liked at first but all ended up with cult status. We've seen it with KvV to an extent already.

I disagree .
It’s all about effort on the pitch where he is concerned and you can’t question his commitment recently .
It’s the same with Turnbull .
It doesn’t take a lot for it to turn around .
The manager is the key with VV - psychology is so important in football or any type of man management in any walk of life .

I am sure most will get behind him and why should there be a conspiracy theory? You can view the first half a dozen pages of this thread which is quite a fun read!

Last season he looked like he didn't give a toss. People didn't like that about him and thought we'd be better off without him.
This season he's looked bothered. People like that about him.
Just like any decision people might have made in the past, when the situation changes they can change their minds. This applies in all aspects of life. Do you understand?
