The thing is were the fans on the players backs before we conceded the first goal? I don't think they did or they definitely didn't more than usual around me.
Miller got some stick, and rightly so, for that horrendous miss at the end of the game. Why should he be exempt from criticism because he is a kid? He shouldn't, he is a professional footballer and that miss was unacceptable from a player earning a wage from the game.
I agree, the lad next to me said, “He’s only a kid”, to which I made the same point as you, except less subtly. Yep. It wasn't a 'what a save' moment - you could tell from the moment he shaped to shoot it was going to be too soft and lack conviction. He's a professional striker coming from a higher level and we're stuck in the relegation zone. These are the moments that could end up sending us down. But fuck that, let's give him a pat on the back and man of the match (Some people actually said that). But I'm sure he'll give a shit about the stick when he's back at Middlesborough.

I don't remember there being much stick, if any, before their first goal. We got behind the lads ffs, and the crowd only started turning nasty when we were losing. If anything it felt to me before the first goal that the crowd were being extra supportive to the useless shites on the pitch. The worst I heard were some quiet asides about what a useless do-nothing shite Josh Wright is. (If he's not the 2018 British hide-and-seek champion I'll eat my hat.)

If they want us to jgbtetc, then we could do that. Huge roar, ticker tape, and the usual goal celebration song. Every time we win so much as a throw-in. Ironically jgbtlffs might bring me a brief moment of mild amusement during the weekly 90 minute torture session.

Fuck it, I'm doing it. Tearing up an old T&A right now. Anyone know where I can order one of those old wooden rattles? If I'm going to do this, I might as well do it properly.

Have to agree re. atmosphere on saturday. If they think that's 'getting on their backs', wait another month when fans have had more of the same stuff being served up at VP. The times we had a bit of pressure, which was very brief, the fans did get behind them. How easy does the manager think it is for fans to wildly celebrate and get behind a team that is so obviously out of its depth and not even guranteed to create a meaningful chance from open play?

It’s classic cart before the horse stuff. There’s no fucking way the fans are causing the players to be shit like the voices in Edin’s head say they are. The players being shithouse cowards is causing the fans to get pissed off, not the other way around. Edin is the cause and only one who can’t see it is Edin.

In the summer in became blatantly apparent that Enid was calling all the shots, no manager yet were signing the Tom Clare's and no Abbott yet we were signing the Josh Wright's.
All roads lead to Enid which ever way you look at it and with that he can take all the glory or what was depressingly obvious, all the criticism.
It is all his fault, its solely on his shoulders and I wish he would just fuck off!

If I promise I will do, will you guarantee me a win tomorrow night? It's a done deal. Dear Mr Bacon, I hope you are suitably contrite, not only did I turn up to the match, which was bad enough, I also bet the mortgage on a City win, I seal-clapped, sang Midland Road (for the first time ever, it’s shite) and generally JGBTLFFS. To what end? You sir are a shaman and a liar.

Fair point, and in his defence it has dropped a couple of degrees.

I was ten minutes late minutes late arriving so as far as I'm concerned it was two all and that's a moral victory. I'd rather have talked to Christa Ackroyd, apparently she's dirty.
