I think @Dronowl66 made some decent points that have got lost amidst the potential racist claim, which I think was clumsy at the very least.

There might well be some who are anti him on those grounds, but I really hope that it’s a tiny minority; and it definitely does not apply to his detractors on here.

We’re on an incredible run, but as pointed out there are still references made to the last game we lost. 
 

We’re unbeaten in 20 odd games, including two against top flight opposition and he gets very little credit.

Every time we lose (or even draw) he’s been out thought by the opponent’s manager, every time we win it’s because we’ve got the best squad in the division.

That narrative is just not fair.

I agree Cheat. However, DM has got some decisions wrong but that is normal and dare I say it statistically likely to happen over a season. However he’s basically got the majority of his decisions right with some outstanding results, eg against Newcastle and so nearly against Soton. 
It’s different challenge tomorrow, but even if we lose it doesn’t determine anything.

No I gave an opinion that whatever Moore does there is a section of the fanbase that will never accept him , I dont think all of those people are racists far from it , but have seen on line evidence in the past of that happening , have read this site for a number of years am unsurprised by the thoughtful reasoning from the predictable accounts . To quantify that I have seen no racist insinuations on this site , it does however seem to have been received as such . I did also say there are no excuses for him this season 

Well this is interesting. ‘A section of our fan base who will never accept him” because of his skin colour.


interesting that you make this serious claim without providing any evidence.
You don’t say who,  you don’t say when you saw or heard this, you don’t say how large or small this ‘section of our fanbase ‘ is.

In fact, you don’t specify anything supporting this pretty awful claim, that anyone could call measurable and able to stand up to any kind of scrutiny.
 

You just make a sweeping, serious and deeply unpleasant claim about your own teams fanbase. 

Im in my 40s and we’ve had black players from when I I was literally started going to games (Cunningham) and largely ever since, so four decades basically.
And I can’t once recall an issue from our fans towards black players.

Yet today in 2023 you suggest we have a racism problem, because we have a manager who is black? Do you not think this new found prejudice would appear a bit odd in view of the above? 

If I administered this site I would ask ask you to share evidence of what you claim to be true, otherwise apologise and retract it. 

Will you be doing that?
After all, such a serious thing in this day and age, should be pretty easy to exemplify would it not?

You don't administer this site though and never well. You're lucky to still be posting.
