I say proved wrong because we scored three minutes after the substitution had been made. You're quite correct in saying what you do - neither of us can say for sure what would have happened in such circumstances - but IIRC Curbishley took Sears off because he was blowing out of his arse at that point having made little impression on the game (as is not unexpected of a kid making his first ever start). The chants were, IMO, unwarranted as Curbishley clearly did know what he was doing as we scored!

On the other hand if a poll was taken by Season Ticket holders outside the ground I believe the results would be different. That was my point.
I understand that (and I think we've been here before!), I just fail to see how you can justify/validate that statement bearing in mind the number of ST holders you've spoken with (ie far less than will have voted on this poll).
Without this poll I think it's fair to say one would have been forgiven for thinking the majority of KUMB members were anti-Curbishley. As I've said, the 70% support (at this point) surprises me too.

Oh absolutely. But we have many ST holders on here backing Curbishley (as we have those who don't) so it's hardly equivalent to polling in the boroughs of Barking and Westminster, for example!

Obviously I disagree. One thing I will say though is that it's nothing new - the last time I jacked it in for good was when Johnny Lyall was being slaughtered. At least then the fans had the excuse that we were on our way down.
I hear the criticisms re:quality of football, but I saw exactly the same under Pardew, Roeder, Redknapp and Lyall. It's nothing new. Maybe it's something to do with the expectations that a billionaire owner brings?
