Aye me and a mate looked at each other when he mentioned the win was for the hardcore fans there and not the fickle. I've been a season pass holder for years at rovers but being self employed sometimes it means you miss a lot of away games purely down to the diary.

Maybe it got to him when some of 'the faithful' sang "You're getting sacked in the morning" the other week ?

Perhaps a smile and a thumbs up would be more agreeable to those people. Jolly hockey sticks.

absolutely spot on , again he shows his inexperience in matters not only on the field, i want him to go home and have a smile on his face, then sit down at his desk tomorrow and look at his stats, get a reality check and then try to back it up, if we are still going up the table in a months time after more wins close or hammerings he can then be smug but not before..
for now mr Radford enjoy the win and thank you from the fans for that , we needed that as much as you did BUT dont take the pizz mate, your stats are shabby .., and no one has forgotten Thursday by a mile..

now now des less of the sarky remarks, mind you do have a point

Then maybe he should be a bit more specific in his criticism. Or better yet just ignore it as part and parcel of the job he decided he wanted. After all, he's had direct experience of what happens to more than one failing coach during his tenure at our club. If he can't stand the heat the solution is pretty obvious.

Couldn't resist.

Emotions were running high. He was under an immense amount of pressure going into the game, and has beaten the champions away against the odds. He probably didn't think too much about what he was saying, heat of the moment stuff. It was a little unprofessional, but not really worth dissecting & analysing too much

I tend to agree, and I discounted it as such the first time I heard it. Was always bound to trigger a backlash though.

Easy said from this distance. I don't mind a bit of passion in the job personally. Not that it makes him a good coach of course.

Well thanks Lee. I'm pleased that you thanked the hard-core supporters. You know the ones, those who can afford the time and money to go to away matches. There are many of us who save up for our season tickets but can't afford to travel every other week but are nontheless as passionate about the club. Maybe a little thought before opening your mouth would have been a better option.
Well done to the boys on the win, but we need lots more of them.

I'm not putting myself forward as someone suited to coach a pro sports club. He is. There lies the difference.


Passion is good. In it's place. Personally I like a coach with at least a touch of professionalism about him. One that knows how to think for a split second before opening his mouth, maybe.

I suppose if you were one of the fans there today you'd agree with him, maybe.
I wasn't but I'm determined not to take it too personally.

Wasn't that different to what a couple of the players tweeted.
