I don’t agree with this- not everyone did. It’s more that someone starts shouting and going mad saying “he’s garbage”, “he’s L2 level”, “nobody else would sign him”, then that becomes the accepted wisdom on here and everyone piles on because it’s the cool thing to say. Like Simms last season, and like now with it now becoming cool to paint Robins as worse than he was, make out that we spent £45m with nothing coming back in, and going around shouting that we’re in a relegation battle in November.
It’s now just about ‘instant success’, ‘entertain me’- and if that doesn’t happen then we scream and shout, calling everyone shit & demand sackings and that players are binned off.
You can argue that most football fans are like that, but we didn’t use to be and it’s sad to see we’re now just like the rest.
