Right his most recent piece in the adver has really really annoyed me. I completely understand the article and that Malpas should be given a chance etc. but I don't think hes the man to be spouting this off. In this article he quotes: I cannot have any sympathy with the argument that claims Town have gone from a play-off chasing side to a relegation-threatened one under Malpas.
For one, when were they really up with the play-off pack?
Sure, at times they have hit the heights of promotion form but they have never shown the consistency needed to mount a realistic challenge.
Surely it was Cryer and his colleagues at the adver who glorified the play offs when we were a few points away from them? Suddenly we've slipped and now hes denying there was ever a realistic option of reaching them! If it hadn't been the Adver increasing peoples hopes of a top 6 finish then perhaps our expectations wouldn't have been so high in the first place. |

Good point lady. The adver is partly responsible for whipping up the anti malpas frenzy, now they comment that he must be given time? fuck off.

I understand all views and parties have to be represented (fans/Malpas/Fitton etc.)
But I can't fathom how they can hype up this season then play it down when we haven't lived up to their expectations!

Next thing you know, they will be writing bland articles based solely on substantiated facts to see if it has any effect on their sales figures.

Welcome to wonderful world of journalism. Agreed. Said it recently, good journalists don't just report the news, they make the news. The editor will be happy. |

You will probably find that they beleive they have upset the stfc heirachy and by douing what they have done may put them back in the good books and keep stfc talking to them rather than just through the official lines.

Doubt that looking at some of the letters they have printed. Havnt got a clue what the Adver has been playing at these last few months. First you had the Swindon-Cheltenham "derby" which they thought was our Old Firm. Then the endless 'we can still make the play offs' articles. Now they are wondering why the fans are dissapointed. Its out of order saying there is a big split. Actually I dont think there is. Theres people who slag Malpas off out loud and people who dont slag him off. End of the day, there isnt actually anything positive to come out of his tenure. |

Cryer did a great job prior to the Fitton takeover but since then has gone off the boil it seems.
