Basically left as the only ounce of creativity and natural talent in the squad, expected to single handedly get results, and then is the one that gets pelters when it doesn’t happen
There's a section of our fanbase that cries out for people to try things, yet they're the first to call for players to be subbed off when they take chances that don't pay off.

Well that is a interesting take on the post you quoted. 🤦♂️

He is literally agreeing with me?

That is what I was trying to work out, but somehow he was blaming the fans at the same time.
I am confused.

So was I. There’s a portion of our fans that always slag off our talented attacking players for average performances whilst the bang average players get praised for doing the basics. Mads was getting grief on Tuesday night despite him being far from the worst player on the pitch.That is what I was trying to work out, but somehow he was blaming the fans at the same time.

Mads Frokjaer is the most important player in our squad. Without him, we go down next season 😐
Three things need to happen if we are to stay in the Championship after next season:
1) Lowe must go. Time up. Fed up of him playing players out of position and his excuses after every game.
2) If Ridsdale has any ambition, he needs to do whatever it takes to get David Moyes in, there’s some unfinished business that needs to be finished 👀
3) Assuming the first two happen, the team next season must be built around Mads, so we can absolutely play to his strengths.
Do that, get rid of the deadwood in the squad, make some smart signings (including Millar) and maybe, just maybe, we rip the league apart. Otherwise, we go down. Club have some big decisions to make over the next few weeks. I’m a little nervous 😕

That should never happen !
If the owners don't show some ambition in the summer then people will vote with their feet , I know I will...Mads Frokjaer is the most important player in our squad. Without him, we go down next season 😐

You can't say things like that, apparently all the senior pro's are fully invested in RL. Whiteman signed a new contract, therefore AB, Riis, Mads, osmajic, Millar, and woodman are eager for another season training alongside Woodburn, with the sessions overseen by RL.I fully expect Mads to want out this summer if the club persist with Lowe. I also don't think Millarvwill sign if he's here and Browne certainly won't re-sign if he's here
Personally think it will come to a binary choice between retaining RL or AB. Over to the competent and knowledgeable Board of Directors to make the right call....
Why do people keep saying we are suddenly going to collapse and get relegated next season? It defies any logic. There’s not going to be a massive turnover of players and there will be a couple of decent enough players brought in. Teams coming up are nowt special, teams coming down aren’t giants. It will be exactly the same as this season, as it has been for the vast majority of the seasons since we came back. We will get between 60 and 65 points and finish between 10th and 12th.Mads Frokjaer is the most important player in our squad. Without him, we go down next season 😐

That’s hardly exciting, I know. But to say we will suddenly plummet to relegation has no logical basis. We are not in turmoil and not going to make sweeping changes.

Well if we are to lose Millar and Browne, that's a massive blow, and there's no guarantee we will bring in close to the same quality.
Numbers wise, we are lucky to be as high up the table as we are, given how little we create, and how managers who figure us out tend to put a lot of goals past us.
We finish 12th in a season where we've been lucky and outperformed our stats, where will we be if we come down to average, or worse, an unfortunate season?
