He has a point I have written many times on her that the club success mirrors the fans it has. There is a significant number on here that crave failure and when we get that then carp it's someone else's fault. We get what we deserve and to be honest that's not much.
Having said that I cannot get excited at the moment. I am a season ticket holder and will go the majority of home games but to be honest if an alternative came up on Saturday I would not miss it. There is zero entertainment and nothing to warrant the time spent down at Sixfields. It's boring, no excitement and to be frank a waste of time. Having gone to the majority of away games only a few years ago I would never contemplate it for more than a few seconds these days.
I never ever thought I would be this apathetic, but I am. I do not blame the owners per se but I am unispered by their choice of managers and their playing styles. My love has gone and I am unsure wether it will ever return.

Please enlighten us why “our manic desire for instant success and the negative carping” have influenced results, performance and the entertainment factor we are witnessing?
Whilst you undying support is commendable sometimes as a grown up you have to accept something is wrong and be able to discuss it.
Strangely enough I would not have included you in the ‘negativitos’ but if the hat fits.......

The question is , will Curle change his methods ? I doubt it . It’s predictable and archaic . Changing the manager is the last thing we need but we are heading towards a relegation fight under this dinosaur . He has done nothing to improve this club since he got here and I said the same throughout last season . KT is never here and much depends on his patience. As I said previously , KC is on borrowed time .

Talking about dinosaurs your views are well known on KC is there any real need to repeat the same old same old every post. He will probably keep us up so lighten up and don’t be such a great baby bore!

At the risk of being accused of having unreasonable expectations, I have to say even with all our well documented short comings as a club I expect a little more than that!

This is probably true, but really, is that the height of our ambitions ? We are a big club by League 2 standards with only Plymouth and Bradford significantly bigger, KT tells us we have a top 6 budget, we certainly generate more money over half the clubs in League 2, surely we should be looking for more than just surviving in this division ?

Err i don’t think the CEO or the chairman would be happy with your ambition of simply surviving. Neither would some of the experienced players brought in. Furthermore , the club is expecting the young players to develop and not cast off to the shadows . No one wants yet another change if manager but the question is , will the manager himself change ?

I said probable and your comments misrepresent mine. To me survival is paramount but promotion is he ultimate target.

Bored to tears under KC, get rid! Didn't he say he wanted free flowing attacking football?

Now that I have calmed down after Saturday’s abysmal showing I have a few observations. Firstly, we do not have a single player in the squad that is capable of consistently beating his man whether through skill or sheer pace and power. Colchester had it with Courtney Senior, Swindon had it with Kaiyne Woolery, Port Vale had it with David Amoo. The lack of pace and creativity (particularly in wide areas) is awful.
Secondly, some of our players are either a) unfit, b) not being demanded to play with more urgency and intensity on and off the ball or c) are being demanded to play with such intensity but are choosing not to buy into this. KC doesn’t appear to be too disappointed by the effort of the players so I would rule out option c. My gut feeling is that KC is not being hard enough on the players in terms of the intensity at which we play.
Thirdly, what was so disappointing about Saturday was that at 0-0 you never really got the sense that we wanted to commit men forward and go and win the game. Obviously we don’t know what was said at half-time but it was as if the players were told ‘we’re not losing so we’re doing well, just keep doing this’. After the game KC said ‘we’d have taken two draws from the Swindon and Colchester games this week’. The Swindon game I accept but on Saturday we were playing a Colchester side who had not won before Saturday and for large parts looked fairly average. We are lacking a winning mentality and KC is to blame for this. It is no coincidence that in Curle’s last four seasons of management his teams have always been top three in the league for most draws.
I’m not in the Curle Out club just yet as I feel as though sacking yet another manager will do no good at this present moment. We must still remember that we are only 5 games in and have had a large turnover of players throughout the summer. However it is time for KC to start delivering as he is now out of the ‘steadying the ship’ phase and has his own squad of players. He is very articulate and talks a good game but even the most ardent of KC supporters must now accept it is time to start seeing some big improvements as our record over the past 15 games is very poor.

At the moment there is far too much defeatist attitude: ok let’s blame the manager syndrome that’s easily justified! As Pedji suggests we get what we deserve. Just look at the attitude of those not going tonight so proudly proclaiming this; then some follow like sheep. It would not surprise me if 60% of those proud absentees did not even go to Colchester. Putting aside Saturday’s dismal performance we should rally behind the team and show some of us at least care.

A good post , except I dispute he is articulate ! He likes to think he is . The problem is , we don’t know how many of these players he is restricting with his tactics and game plan . Similar to last season , some of the players could flourish if only they were allowed to express themselves .

A spot on post, on all counts. I would add that Adams looked injured or unfit on saturday and just didn't want to take the opposition on. Every time he received the ball but was not in a position to put in a cross unhindered he was playing it backwards. Albeit on the basis of only one match attended, not the player I saw during THAT season.

Curle out..
Blend of the squad is wrong, not using the talents we have correctly, no pace ( the only one with pace is spending more time defending, but cant cross anyway ) Whats the point in decent footballers like Adams, Watson, Lines and Pollock if we haven't got the right set up to use them, may as well have signed 3 Dean Peer types with the style we are playing. How can we be playing 4 4 2 but only seem to have 1 player within 30 yards of the striker.
All Curles weird and wonderful ideas.

Totally correct . Furthermore , apparently the players are confused as to how they should be playing and the youngsters have been left to one side . It’s no wonder we are in a mess . Plus I don’t see a way out unless Curle admits he is wrong .
