There is a lot of mud being slung between different posters about our fan base at the moment - too critical, not critical enough blah blah so I did some research on the 5 championship teams that lost last night.
No surprises (1) - every team had at least one poster calling for the manager to go. Notts Forest was strongest but they are also doing the worst so far but even Middlesbrough were not immune.
No surprises (2) - every team had several posters criticising managerial decisions.
No surprises (3) - every team had posters asking for patience
No surprises (4) - every team had several posters criticising individual players
No surprises (5) - every team had posters calling for fans to get behind the team
No surprises (6) - Some teams also criticised the owners
No surprises (7) - every team had posters from other clubs taking delight at their loss
So ITFC is really no different to any other club. Football is a bit of a pantomime that provides a distraction for many and social media a platform for a few wannabe Piers Morgans. We win everything is good about the world, we lose and the blame game starts.
Some fans like the pantomime element, others seem to get upset by it. The trick with all social media and forums is to realise that you are in control of what you read: not every thread/post has to be read, mute/block/ignore buttons are available. If its analysis you want, wait at least 24 hours after the match and know the 4-5 accounts that can do this.

....3 or 4 matches, before you think the club might need to make a change?
I'll put you down in the "hysterical" column then. |
You say that, I'm firmly sticking with the process, but managers have been sacked by clubs after less |  | | |

Its funny, because if we had started as strongly as we had the last few years, it would be a different atmosphere on here, but we start poorly with a new squad and suddenly its not good enough etc,
Our fanbase is a joke sometimes and so fickle |
Yeah, really strange that fans are happier when their team is winning games. What a weird bunch! |  |

Strange how many posters and fans now ridicule others for cheering the team after relegation - didn’t really hear that many at the time.
It’s almost as if they are trying to revise the past. |
I quite like the song. Everyone joins in . If the poster who posted he doesn’t like it , that’s fine , that’s his prerogative, all I did was suggest he come with another song which might catch on . Can’t see the problem with that …. |  |

I don't think anyone is questioning the regime though and ironically you're talking about giving Cook less time than most of us 'hysterical' fans would be prepared to give him. | |

Where did I explicitly say the manager needed changing? I said maybe a change needs to be made? Formation, playing style, maybe an assistant manager, but you've jumped heavily to a conclusion I'm saying Cook should be sacked | | | |

If making valid points makes me 'hystercal' then yeah, cool, whatever | | | |

I like that song as well but you can’t please everyone.
On a side note, I do wonder if Blue Action ever think ‘what’s the point? They get criticism for singing songs (for not being Ipswich enough) and then they get criticism for banners which are easy to attack (using hindsight). |  | | |
