One or two posters who jump on the bandwagon, plus one who lives across the water in America, find enormous pleasure in trying to put words into my mouth.
I don't care who is in charge of the club, I just want to see my club that we all love, play good football and know before I go to matches, what kind of starting 11 I will see.
Paulo Sousa is liked by the players, he talks the talk and if/when he gets the team playing with confidence, I will back him 110%.
I suspect supporters think my feelings are that of Gianni Paladini, which could not be further from the truth. I know more than one person at the club, but that is an irrevelance. Paulo and Gianni recently went to Wembley together, play even b.loody football tennis with each other, so whilst papers do there best to find a story, I know that Flavio and Sousa had a big disagreement after the Southampton game. I also know, that despite public opinion Gianni does not want Sousa to go.
I have my own opinion, not shared by others that I think the football we play is too negative, we are not exciting to watch and for that reason, I am not happy. That can change and My avaitor indicated at the start, I was more for Paulo Sousa than many. If i cannot question why SDC is the lone man up front, then I must know nothing about football
I have a very good friend who lives in Doncaster and he got ridiculed by his mates aftre our defeat. What can I say to him? That, I am really happy with the performances?
Fans are really split on Blackstock. For me, it was a mistake to let him go. Does it matter that Sousa does or does not? No, not really he didn't figure in his plans anyway. The agent was very specific and said he wanted to move because of the lack of first team opportunities. Who to believe? I don't know, truth in both stories I suspect.
Sousa is planning his pre-season and I hope for one, hope he is given the chance, though to say I am happy with our recent performances would be lying. Flavio can be accused of trying to influence team matters, but not under Sousa. He won't be influenced and if SDC plays up front on his own, thats Sousa's choice. If he drops Blackstock, thats also Sousa's choice.
Good to see some passion by Sousa at home to Palace, but none of his players replicated that emotion and must be wishing to go on holiday already, before the season even ends. Bitter disappointment in last few weeks on the field. I am not convinced by Sousa, thats my opinion, to which I am entitled.
