Time To Get Behind The Manager

[STFC_Gazzza]

... We all love Fitton etc. but maybe its time to start putting Malpas name into songs etc.

Any song where we would put the managers name in a song its now "Fitton". Yes totally acceptable last year, Absolutely. I'm sure Fitton appreciates it etc, but I am also sure he wouldn't mind if we sang Malpas name for the simple fact it shows we back his choice as well.

Now I know it was only 1 game yesterday but personally I thought the football as fantastic except for Hasney's hoofing!

Some people (well our group) tried to get a Maurice Malpas sexy football chant going however... as usual Town fans are apprehensive, just what is it going to take to get Town fans to back Malpas? The guy has never been given a fair crack of the whip.

The atmosphere all in all was shit yesterday for the type of game we had, I think it's time to start backing the manager.

People say Malpas never signed anyone. Ok he signed a couple players but Nalis looked quality yesterday and Casal will come along. The players we lost out on were decent players and goes to show what type of player he is trying to bring to the club.

Still agree about singing WE ARE FITTON'S RED AND WHITE ARMY though! 

I appreciate most people on this forum DO get behind Malpas etc.

No One game doesn't make a season however we didn't look like relegation fodder.

FUCK YOU SKY SPORTS!

Well done Gary, shame you're about 7 months too late with this post.  MM should have got the fans backing straight away, the bloke took over an average, not exactly high on confidence squad.  I have to say I'm a bit embarrassed to be associated with some of Town's "supporters" who treated MM so badly in his first few months as manager.

It's not all a bed of roses, but MM has got Town trying to play the game in the right way which, at this time, is good enough for me.

His name is all wrong for chanting. He needs to change it.

Flipping hell, that's two of your posts I totally agreed with in 4 days.
Spot on Jan.

Yep 7 months late but its a new season lets get behind the team! It's a new start. I always say to my uncle who says "maurice who" "we want an experienced manager", i always tell him "look at the players he brought in", "do you go to games?" I will reserve judgement until mid this season. Malpas has not done bad and I have a lot of time for him after speaking to him a couple of times, got his head screwed on and knows his football.

Why would you want to make something up when that is so easy?

That's fair enough Gary, but unless Bin Laden was appointed as manager I'd expect our supporters to give the new man in charge a fair go, which on this occasion many did (and some still do) not.  Anyone who says "Maurice who" is clearly short of a bit of football knowledge, and can't be bothered to do a bit of research into the fella's career. 

But the actual sentiment of your post I'd agree with "M&M's red and white army" would go down a treat and would hopefully mean a lot to Mr Malpas, but like I said it is 7 months too late.

Thanks Dell, well sometimes you have to forget about the 80% bollocks, don't you?

I didn't hear any singing for Fitton during the game, it is usually around the ground last season ok there was no singing of Malpas but I think another couple of games like that and it will probably start to filter through hopefully.

i admit i wasnt happy with Malpas last season, but the way we played saturday and the type of players hes brought/trying to bring to the club has made me really warm to him

[Peter Venkman]

I fucking agree 100%, back the team, the board and especially the manager, as Jan says we were an average team playing average football but now MM has us playing football as I want it played, on the ground, quick slick passing, get the wingers in the game on both sides ideally and scare the living crap out of the opposition.

Good times ahead hopefully.

JPC - But couldn't you see in some of the matches towards the end of the season that Malpas was trying to get us playing more attractive football.  Truth is if Cox didn't go through his lean spell we'd have had a good end to the season.  Leeds, Leyton O, Carlisle, all matches we lost, lost and drew, when we should have got more.

I'm not getting overly excited as I still think consistency will be an issue but we're improving, hopefully we'll be in with a shout come next spring.

WE ARE BIG MO'S RED ANDY WHITE ARMY.

The way you suggest singing it'll sound even gayer that "iffy onura's red & white army" from a few years ago.  Fucking mega shitstabbing effort.

I expect we would have sung his name yesterday if we had bloody sung anything.

Lets be honest the County Ground atmosphere is generally side and quiet. On the rare occasion we do make some noise it usually fast clapping, or something that turns into fast clapping.

With (hopefully) a packed away end at Cheltenham next week he'll get his name sung....unless we are losing!!
