Winter is not without his faults, but this forum sometimes seems to hold NOTHING back for a really classy bloke, who raves on about the club, city and local players, and would return in a heartbeat. Not to mention him having his hands full, being undermined for his entire stint. I just find some of the flack he gets a bit harsh, at times.
