Judging by some of the things I've heard shouted from the terraces I think he could be on to something!
Very true Stefano! I just happened to be sat in front of two such muppets on Saturday.
We all know the type...know-it-all, frustrated wannabe managers who seem to know exactly where we're going wrong and how we should be playing. Their moronic - and mostly incorrect - comments were incessant, and it took all of my self-control not to turn round and say something.
But Manse, and a to a certain extent Lingy (who seems a little touchy when it comes to this sort thing), have been in and around the game long enough to know that a small percentage - and it is a small percentage - of every club has it's brainless serial whingers and moaners, for whom the club can do nothing right.
To seemingly tar all the Torquay fans with that brush just seemed a tad harsh to me, as on the whole I think we're pretty realistic about who and what we are, but immensely proud of our club, and just want it to do the best it can.
Having said that, we are perhaps getting a bit too gloomy, too early. Yes, the performances have been poor at times. Having been at Oxford and Barnet - and having spent upwards of £100 getting to them - I can testify to that. But it's also clear it's just a temporary thing, and there's been enough decent performances this year to see that there's still a good chance we can do something.
