It’s one thing being hasty and another flogging a dead horse and doing the same thing looking for a different outcome…
I thought we waited too long to get rid of Andy Whing last year he should’ve gone around this time when Rob Kelly was brought in.
I was all for giving Murray time and patience but I’m worried after the first 8 matches that he’s taking us backwards and I honestly can’t see where the light is. His signings bar two or three have been poor. He’s alienated and got rid of senior and respected pros. He’s called out last seasons players yet they’ve nearly all gone and those left are his choice, and yet we serve up arguably our worst performance in some time at Solihull. His tactics, shape and personnel keep changing. It’s not clear really what we’re trying to do and if players aren’t following his instructions as he says then that’s even more worrying at this stage.
No doubt the effort him and the players are putting in. I just think he was a dubious appointment having no real credentials at this level, and that’s shown on his signings and our results and performances so far.
Wild created an identity of working hard, pressing and counter attacking with some decent football at times and we competed. Murray so far has created an identity of kicking and wrestling people. He’s said himself he’s not going to change as it’s got him success. Maybe at National north it did but he got sacked last time he managed at national league level.
Problem with many is we focus too much on what we feel is wrong rather than focus on the small but important bits that are actually improvements on last season.
We have to be realistic and to think we are just going to turn into Madrid over night is too much with regards to expectations.
I do think Murray and the team will start to bare fruit and with so much of the season to go, panicking and constantly picking at the negatives will only not just drag us as supporters down but will also bring the team down to, it does feed into the field despite what people think and it does impact players.
Murray said and is right, the negativity is rife within the club.. we can all continue to pout fingers we can all criticise decisions, we can all carry on blaming each other but the reality is, we have lost our ability to be good football fans!
The atmosphere is shit at home, we used to be loud and proud no matter what.. now we just seem numb and quiet.
Negativity is like a cancer, it's spreads, it's not good and until we all (support, players,owners) change the mindset, it will never get better!!
If you all want to carry on the witch hunt with the owners, I suggest you consider re mortgaging your own homes and start investing!
They have admitted mistakes, will they learn from them? Time will tell but for now let's stop the bull shit and speculation and back the team, the club, owners and each other.
Til we are all united and focussing in going forward, we a
Will always be in free fall..
Get a a grip please and start doing what we once did best and that is getting behind the [SwearFilter] team and let's start winning games.
There has been a long drought, the shoots of recovery
are going to take a bit more water to flow under the bridge until any long term recovery starts to manifest.

Sometimes it won't be pretty but beauty is always in the eye of the beholder..
There used to be a myth about a curse on Barrow.. the myth isn't some gypsy, it's ourselves and til we start to change the mentality that curse will never leave!
Re: Solihull Moors v Barrow match thread
I didn't expect us to be Real Madrid but we were promised a front foot and aggressive team and to have 1 win in 8 and have served up a performance like that at Solihull ten men or not isn't good enough.
Aside from a bit more effort and commitment I'm not really sure what other improvements this team has at present.
I think considering everything the support has been great really, yes a lot more quiet but what can you expect with some of the dross that's been served up, people are disillusioned and fans of several years are debating whether to even go.
The other night there was over 100 fans away on a Tuesday getting drenched with the biggest excitement coming when we got a throw in or a shot away.
I hope I'm wrong and there is a turn around starting tomorrow at least in terms of performance.
If not then I do worry and I'm not sure where he Murray would go from there or us. In the words of Mick it can't go on...

Re: Solihull Moors v Barrow match thread
But again..you have NOT focussed in what you mentioned as a positive and mentioned the effort and commitment (what every person mentioned last season) but went onto "it can't go on" [SwearFilter] sake
Someone has to shake you lot up and I can take the flack..
I sometimes wonder if we were winning five nill and having the biggest [SwearFilter] in the league you would focus on the lack of trimming and we should score six.
There is no pleasing some people!
It was totally shit last season and was clear to see, this season there is as YOU mentioned a clear change in effort and commitment and that is just a start surely?
I'm not here to fall out, but the negative comments constantly is a drain.. it's a grind..
[SwearFilter] sake, wake up everyone! Fed up? Open your [SwearFilter] mouths on match day and make your voices clear by getting behind the club instead of constantly whining and moaning..
