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.

Nail on the head above...8 matches!!

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.

Being positive, loud and getting behind the team is NOT a crime!

From now on, any negative comment should be a 1pound contribution to the club. [SwearFilter] me, we would have a premier League budget

I'm sorry but the fans have been really good at home and away , people really try to get behind the team but that works both ways the team have to start with a high tempo apart from Yeovil I've not seen that ,yes we've had possession but passing from side to side isn't going to cut it ,but the way you attacked Scott 5 isn't a good look he was pretty constructive in what he said, if you can't hack warranted criticism then don't come on here ,I like to give a balanced view but I'm not going to blindly not critise Murray when he's constantly coming out with every excuse, cliche going but more than that the guy won't accept he might be at fault!
I'll also critise the board when warranted and don't forget through their utter incompetence we lost our EFL status yes they've put money in but that shouldn't stop us from criticising them
Most of us if we had the money would put it into the club, over the years people on here and who go every week have spent thousands over the years supporting the club through thick and thin so please don't get on the moral high ground take a minute and try to at least see people's point of view instead of going off on a pointless rant !!!
