What's the plan for the rest of the season? Shall we just all agree to not talk about football? The writing is on the wall, regardless of the fact that KL took it easy on us today.
Well done to all the walkers, you are a credit to this football club.

Well done to all the walkers, you are a credit to this football club. If it means you stop talking then happily 😉 Thought we did well today, let down by usual good performers in little Owen, had opportunities to get something from the game, overall pleasing performance against a good side, who certainly “didn’t take it easy”. Was expecting to come on here and find pleasing comments but same negative “fans”. What did you think of KL second goal today OhDuckingHell?

I suspect 'ohduckinghell' wasn't within 20 miles of Kings Langley today.

Shame neither of you were there, it was really enjoyable watching their back four pass it amongst themselves waiting for Sonny to see if he had any space to run into. He didn't, because our ground breaking tactic is to soak up non existent pressure and wait to concede. Brilliant, real improvement from Saturdays performance.
Please add the word fundamental in at any point you so wish.

This place is very quickly becoming not worth the effort with constructive posters being drowned out by anonymous cowards.

There's only a few of us at games, you might not be called Lee. Safety online and all that. This current managerial set up really does seem to split the fanbase between those who don't like the style of football and those who shout down anyone who dares to question it. There's never any personal attacks, just good old conversation.

There's never any personal attacks, just good old conversation. Can you not see the benefit of constructive comments? Should the players read this (and I know some do), how do you think they view the destructive comments from so called supporters who could do so much more to build their confidence. I have never known a time in the past 15 years when so much division has been seen from our supporters. Instead of looking for positives - and there were some yesterday, all people like you want to do is to criticise. Sometimes I wonder if you and others, hiding behind anonymity are actually AUFC fans at all, or maybe people who just want to see our manager fail.

That's an interesting take, Ian. I don't see much critiscm of the players, more the tactics. And I would assume that most of us who are critical are so because we want to see the club be the best it can be. I know you do too, but your way of showing that is different to ours, neither is wrong.
Some people like back to whoever is in charge regardless of results, some like to vent their frustration. Do you not have these conversations across all wlaks of life?
Just on the point about people wanting the club to fail. If they pay their money and attend all these games, bring them on. If they exist that is!

Do you not have these conversations across all wlaks of life? Just on the point about people wanting the club to fail. If they pay their money and attend all these games, bring them on. If they exist that is! I didn't say wanting the club to fail, I said wanting the manager to fail. The club will continue, as it has done in adversity since we lost Buckingham Road. Very few people understand or appreciate the efforts that are put in day in/day out to keep the club functioning and striving for a better future on and off the pitch. So much goodwill is being created in and around Aylesbury at the moment, which anyone who has a presence on social media will be picking up on. Again though, perhaps that doesn't always suit personal agendas? Too much of the criticism has been personal towards Jack Wells; he is big enough and brave enough (perhaps too much so at times, which he will admit) to face up to his criticism, but when you say it is aimed at the tactics, perhaps the players feel that because they are struggling at times to play the way the manager wants? One final question, what do you want and how do you expect us to achieve it? Clubs in our league are paying way in advance of the money to players than we could afford to or perhaps we should go 'shit or bust' and sign a Rene Howe on £300 a week? It might be nice to see for a season, but it would be the end of the club in the long run, because it is unsustainable. We will, and always have, cut our cloth to suit our purse and attract the best players for that value we can. That won't change and nor should it.

These waters are getting a bit murky now, aren't they? Not sure anyone is doubting the work being done to get us home but I can only speak for myself.
I think just giving it a good go is what most fans want, certainly what I want. Standing back and watching their back four pass it too each other when we know we can't keep a clean sheet is doing nothing for me and sadly, nothing for our league position.

It's funny how fans ares, we can all pick teams, all select tactics - but our ideas can never be proved or disproved.
Great to have an opinion, but that's all they are.
As someone said to be recently, JW is the most scrutinised AUFC manager for a long, long time - I don't know why or whether there are agendas being pursued.
All I do know is, JW kept us up last season, he's passionate about the club, he cares and he's had the courage to make big calls on wages and players to approach. A manager that stands his ground on player demands seems increasingly rare these days, however we must live within our means.
Whether that equates to ultimate success, only time will tell of course.
It's always difficult for engaging with sensible debate with anyone that remains anonymous - as always, I'm always open to have a beer and chat on match days - I don't think any of us claims to have all the answers to all the questions
Hope this post comes across as intended - in the best interests of the club

Genuinely very confused about your posts, maybe something personal but as I’ve stated many a time, there’s people on this forum who don’t care so much about our football club and more about individuals failing. A very unusual way to spend one’s time
