Positive. We have an ambitious chairman who cares, a decent young manager and are assembling a very decent squad. We have come a long way since the family left.
 
We can see from this board that it's not a far stretch from half-full to half-empty. After Pompey and Hull we were Champions elect. Then Accy and Shrewsbury led to concerns about regression.
Always been the same. We're passionate and, I believe, all want success for our club. Frustrated romantics, masochistic realists
 
After an hour of Tuesday's game, the optimism was still there reading the match thread. We were still in the game and only one down. Come full time and it was the worst performance for the last (insert number here) years, as it is after every defeat. Every positive aspect is immediately discarded and the negatives magnified. It was ever thus.
 
I am extremely positive most of the time , the rest of the time I am just positive, I don’t just look at the here and now, I look at the bigger picture .
 
Just voted positive. Yes there are some short term negative posts after a poor performance or defeat, but overall I think we're positive, and under SS we should be.
 
Always try to stay the glass is half full on the pool, however there seems to be quite a few who just love to knock them no matter what. I suppose you can’t please everyone.
 
Overall, positive but with reservations due to some questionable decisions in lineup and substitutions.
 
We are at the start of a journey so of course things need to change, probably more so now than say in a couple of years hopefully. I think some of our fans have trouble with persistent constructive comment and interpret it as an affront to the club when actually it’s just a function of having a positive want to improve. Generally we are a positive bunch under Sadler’s era. Why wouldn’t we be?

Your last sentence describes football fans the world over.

After enduring years of that obnoxious family, to see what SS has brought to the club and listening to his positive words today I am 100% sure we're on the right path for the club to return to the Championship, after that who knows.

I started watching in the mid 60s when we were a top flight club, but I've always thought of us as a club who should be competitive in what is now the Championship. 29 years to get back stretched my patience but I believe we have the fanbase and infrastructure to be a Championship club with occasional forays into the top flight.

We have the history, location and fanbase to do that.

Absolutely, look at where the likes of Burnley, Fulham and Brighton are and you have Bournemouth, Swansea and Norwich are all knocking on the door again this season. PNE and Barnsley can also make a run at it, now with SS at the helm so can we. Firstly we need to get to the Championship though.
 
Since the new owner, I’d say positive. There’s a lot to be positive for. Even the best teams in the world can and do slip up occasionally.
 
Positive about everything going on at the club at the moment, with the exception of the turgid brand of football being delivered by the tinkerman. If I thought it was the best the players were capable of the it wouldn’t be such an issue, but we’ve seen what is possible when we play to their strengths.

Clearly there is a long term vision - it remains to be seen whether it is the right one or not in terms of the 1st team but the club has wider meaning and impact in the community. That is where the non-negotiable positivity exists. After years of living hand to mouth, we are being treated
 
I like to think I'm realistic, and even after a few days of consideration I still say that Tuesday's game was one of our worst performance of the season, whilst I was cock a hoop about our win against Hull. I try to praise a player if they have done well, but refrain from criticising an individual if they have had a bad game, referees apart who seem, this season regularly, to have come from the Magoo academy of incompetence.

I hate to see threads on here about individual players, as everyone can have a bad day and I would challenge anyone on this board to say they have never made a mistake or had a bad day at the office, I have.

Can I change my mind😩
 
I think the problem is that too many expect to win every game - it was so much easier towards the end of the Oyston reign when defeats were positively applauded!
