On Tuesday night, J-södra’s men’s team will play their first match since the summer break. During the first third of the season, J-södra has received some criticism from fans.
– Criticism from fans it belongs, of course. Fans who support us and put in a lot of time and energy and money also for the part of going to away matches – they can demand a result and it’s not just them. It is natural that we are all disappointed with where we are, says Mats Tidstrand.
According to Mats Tidstrand, criticism from supporters is part of everyday life and activities. But in mid-May, he still published an open letter in which he responded to the criticism.
– At the same time as there are expectations and disappointments when things do not go well, it must be kept within certain limits. We had some tendencies for a while where I think we passed the way to formulate ourselves to each other within the association and outside the association. That was the basis. This does not mean that we do not have high ceilings and we must be able to make demands on each other, but we must also stay within the right values, says Mats Tidstrand.
