What I'm not happy with is the reaction from some so-called "supporters".
Keep in mind I'm (hopefully) talking about the minority here.
I heard a woman ring SEN this afternoon who was disgusted with the club because she'd paid for her flight down to Tassie and a ticket to the game only to find out now half the team isn't playing. She said it was unfair to her and the rest of the supporters that the club wouldn't be putting on a good entertaining show.
I've heard other supporters in the last day say that the club owes it to the fans to put a complete full strength side on the field each and every week to make it a real contest and "exciting". How dare the club take away any sense of competition and/or contest.
WHAT UTTER RUBBISH. BOO EFFING HOO.
This is unquestionably the most successful season (so far) in the history of the club, apart from our only premiership of course. And yet STILL, the fans are finding something to complain about. It makes me sick.
These people must be the ones who boo their own team because they kick it backwards a couple of times. That's not being a supporter.
I love what Ross Lyon has done. Looking at the big picture, I would much rather we field the side we're fielding this week if it means some of our bigger names can have a much deserved rest before the finals.
Hell, we're still in with every chance tomorrow, it's not a gimme for the Hawks by any means. The ins we have are actually pretty decent, and their backline is a mess. If Lyon is the tactician he seems to be, he has every chance to get us over the line.
I'm sure that all the people who have been complaining would be very happy about this round in hindsight if we are victorious on that last Saturday in September.
Thankfully people on this forum seem to be generally ok with it all.
