Below is some of Super John's column from today's BN. So take note and get behind the lads, otherwise he might be round to give you a 'wee push.'
'READING the reaction from Wanderers fans on Twitter and various websites this week to the Arsenal result, I think it’s time we all took a step back.
Anyone calling for Owen Coyle to go needs to take a second, and remember what things were like 18 months ago - the vibe around the place, the negative football.
It hasn’t been easy this last few weeks and you can see how much it means to the fans. But it’s too easy to act on a whim on the internet, and we all need to draw breath.
In my opinion, we’ll be fine by the end of next month, Nobody likes to admit it, but you could see a run like this coming from a mile off. It’s been a tough run and we should have made things easier by beating Norwich.
Owen wouldn’t have said it publicly back at the start of the season, that’s just not his style, but he knew he was in for a test.
It’s at times like these that the players really need the fans. They were great against United - singing more out of defiance than anything else - and they know the effect they have on performances.
It would be easy to look past the Chelsea game and say our season starts against Wigan after the international break. Owen won’t be having a bar of that, though, he’ll want a win on Sunday, and that would take a bit of pressure off.'

I only listen to what Super Simon says.

Thanks for posting this, RoadRunner, SJMc is a dyed in the wool Wanderer and it is refreshing to read of his full support in the face of adversity.
Don't get me wrong, I feel dreadful about the Whites current predicament, but I'm going to be shouting from the rafters on Sunday.
Maybe the negative comments outweigh the positive at the moment, but that is the way of the world.
It is always easier to moan and groan than to just get on with things.
My spare time is precious and I choose to spend a large slice of it following Bolton ( Each to their own!)
So, come Sunday, C.O.Y.W!

SJM is God.
Someone published his comments when he was calling for changes the other week. These should see daylight too.
Lets do what he says and get behind the lads!
COYWM!

At least we know we're on a bad run of tough games - Lets not forget the time we had NO optimism for even the run of slightly easier games. (as of course there are no easy games in the Barclay's Premier League - TING!)

I notice you left out the part about SKD and Jussi returning to their old form. Dream on my son.
Otherwise the article is correct.

1. 'I notice you left out the part about SKD and Jussi returning to their old form. Dream on my son.'
In fairness the main point of that article is that they are not finished.
Also I'd rather you didn't call me son. Ta.

RRVF I hate to say this but if we had available replacements I'd have already dropped SKD and JJ to the bench. On another thread a couple of people are suggesting Adam should start but I disagree this time only because it's not the game in which to blood an inexperienced (relatively speaking) keeper when we've lost one of our best defenders to long term injury and another to suspension.
However I WOULD drop Kev because in all honesty I think his best days are behind him and that he'd be best utilised now as an impact sub if we need to change things with half an hour or so to go. He just doesn't look sharp enough over the full ninety any more.
Other than that I agree with Sir John, Lord of McGinlay and God of the Reebok that things are a long long way from desperate. Thanks for the post because it's nice to see that one of our legends feels broadly the same as I do about the current situation. Enjoy the five I've given this article.

Cheers LPP. In fairness to SJM saying they are not finished and saying they should play every week are two different things. Either way supporters constantly on their case aint going to do anybody any favours.
