Can someone with some imagination turn this into a Brian Dutton chant please? Thanks in advance.
I think itâs harsh slagging Norman off.I think he has definitely been one of our better players this season. It sometimes is a bit annoying how some fans tend to single out players that are by no means the worst in the sideâŚlike Matt Richards and Richard Taundry amongst others that often picked up unwarranted abuse.

I could tell you what virtually every premier league team is playing this weekend and certainly their formation. Whether that changes in game is another thing but they all have a pretty set way of lining up to begin with.
Because even at the top level players need consistency. That is why itâs not basic and that is why Clarkeâs way didnât work.

I bet you couldnât.
Yep, nothing wrong with having the ability to change in game as sometimes itâs required. The problem under Clarke is that we had no actual defined way of playing so all of the changes, both tactically and personnel wise, just resulted in a big turgid mess of hoofball.
If you look at the 15/16 season, we were able to quite comfortably switch game to game between a 4-2-3-1 and a 5 at the back, because the fundamentals of how we played football didnât actually change. No matter the system, all the players were coached in Smithâs identity and the formation itself wasnât too much of an issue.
Unfortunately, weâve wasted nearly two seasons now under Clarke and another major rebuild is on the cards in the Summer.

If you say so. I mean, itâs not even impressive they all have set formations and players that play most games. Thatâs kinda my point 
Yes I say so, you couldnât so stop taking â â â â .

One day, when Iâve told enough â â â â that turns out to be dead on, youâll stop this Itâs boring hearing this from you at this point only to be proved correct.
Itâs not even worth entertaining itâs just weak, really weak, trolling. So if you say so

You sound really really silly ⌠almost childlike
Like I said If you say so. Just plain insults at this point itâs boring. Fed up of being reasonable only for you to fall back on this boring â â â â .
No no no youâve been doing this over past couple of days. Someone offers an opinion and no matter what it takes you argue that they are wrong.
It gets really really boring, and you just donât like being told when you are taking rubbish. Your worse than my wife 
Arguing somebody is wrong is kind of what happens on a forum. Iâm just bored of your insults and telling me Iâm always wrong after like a year and a half of you doing only to be right Sheâs probably right too if youâre input here is anything to go on.
You havenât been right about anything even those clowns on Facebook were telling us DC was crap.
Not 18 months ago when you were telling me I was delusional then. Not when I said at the time most of his signings donât add up and you were telling me I was delusional then. Not when I said at the time youâll never gel anything without playing a set style from almost day one and you told me I was delusional.
And now, even with the benefit of hindsight and having to back track on Clarke, youâre still trying to tell me his way works even after it has failed
Like, sure! Ok buddy! Iâm delisional whatever you say.
You do realise he wasnât sacked? In the Chairmenâs own words he was upset about it.
So what is it your are right about, Iâm genuinely intrigued.
No I told you that changing formation is normal , and this is where it took me ⌠ffs 
What the â â â â has that got to do with anything he was still â â â â â , and youâve been saying so for months! 
Nah youâre right, I was wrong on all those things. All his signings and constant changes have worked one hundred percent. Iâm not even arguing with you you just keep coming back so this is indeed where itâs lead you
