Old Man Andrews Feel good factor hahaha
WE LOST!!!!! What don't you get about that?
If you cared to read what posters are saying, particularly in the Man Utd BFTG thread, I think you will see that the fans have decided to wipe the performance against Swansea from their memories and take what they can from the performance, rather than the result, in that cup game.
I get the impression (fans are fickle don't forget and in this dreadful season we are clutching at anything positive, however minor) that there is, with the new manager in place, a feelgood factor.
It may disappear as quickly as it came if we get thumped by Forest but for now I get the sense that is there, especially as steps appear to be being taken to offload some and bring in others who just might improve the team.
BTW I don't dismiss your views about Bacuna out of hand-if you listen to managers they will tell you that this sort of thing happens.
As fans we would like to feel that all of our players are "proud to wear the shirt" but in reality for them it is just a job, Reading is where they are now for the moment enjoying a wealthy lifestyle and because of their contracts they don't necessarily have to put it in week-in, week-out.
Hopefully what we have got and what we get as players will be inspired by Mr Gomes to put in improved performances every week otherwise we have had it and maybe, just maybe the club has got it right with the contracts that big wage cuts will happen if we are relegated.
Players like nothing less than having a pay cut.
