The fact is there are supporters and supporters. Some follow the club through thick and thin and some just thick.

That is true Camps but the floating supporter will make up a fairly big percentage of our match day attendees.When they drift away it is hard to get them back.
We have six contracted players in my opinion who are capable league 1 playersCam JohnJon TaylorFejiriAndersonTommy RoweBostock The rest of contracted players are simply not good enough. The loans make the rest up that will leave and the cylce of rebuild starts again. Lack of ambition and finance will get us nowhere, we desperately need investment from somewhere. We appoint managers who come and go because they see us as a stepping stone or want ambition more than this club. The club needs to work harder in bringing some party in to progress.

Far too many floaters i am afraid. This Town is full of them. I think Donny fans are very fickle. More than the majority of clubs and definitely more than all the other South Yorkshire ones.

Upton, I agree. I don't think for one second we would be where we are if we still had Ferguson, McCann or Moore. It's down to the manager, and Wellens doesn't have a clue.Sha66y, yes I am dispirited and see no sense in supporting the current team. We all sat with enthusiasm, faith and trust in the club when we were told of the 5 year plan, and look where we are, not in the Championship but heading for League Two and no-one in the club can or will stop it happening.
If we win tomorrow we are likely to be 1 point from safety with 90 to play for. The f**kin bed wetters on here and social media need to chill out.
What is it with this b*llocks that because 24 years ago we had one of the worst seasons in the history of football, anything marginally better now shouldn't be moaned about? As if unless the chairman literally sets alight to the south stand we can't possibly ask questions of the manager and club.When the boys are on the pitch I'm supporting them every kick. But when we're shipping goals like we are there's gonna be some tough questions asked.
I also cannot accept this rhetoric that has been sold to the fans that we should accept mediocrity pending a rebuld. IMHO this is just spin fed to us by a very competent company CEO part of whom's job it is is to manage the expectations of the customer base and divert attention away from the root cause of the problem which, obviously, is lack of investment. We have lost successful managers for this reason and are now managed by an albeit sincere and genuine guy who is clearly lacking any capacity to motivate this league 2 standard squad in to a force that can avoid relegation. His handling of the Bogle affair and public berating of his own players to me show that he has zero ability to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts. Hence we are going down the toilet in a most embarrassing fashion.
The problem for some time has been probably several fold.1. Over reliance on too many loanees (some aren't an issue).2. Not holding onto our better players.3. Losing decent managers every 5 minutes. Another problem fans are struggling to contend with, is we have gone from play off contenders to relegation candidates in little to no time.
I agree RW has been dealt a difficult hand but his handling of the Bogle situation smacks of miss management and appears to be an emotionally driven decision rather than one that helps the club, the player, the team as a whole and the fans, not to mention the stretched budget. Also, one of the first rules of management in any organisation is that if you are going to administer a rollicking to an individual you do so in private, public humiliation rarely gets the best out of the employee. And the way our defense is torn apart repeatedly indicates a severe lack of tactical nous.I admire RW's commitment and respect the sentiments of supporters who take a more positive and optimistic view, I hope for the best but fear the worst is now inevitable, relegation.

That’s surmising the 3 teams above us lose their next 3 games & we win ours.I admire your staunch belief that will be the case but what is it based on?I will be the first to admit (& will take great pleasure in doing so) that I was wrong about Richie once we are a clear 5 points from the bottom 4.
