The booers last night

[The Lone Gunman]

I was 7 at the end of the 80's, however I did get my first season ticket in 2001 and the fact remains that giving our own players shit like that at 1-0 down with half the game left is terrible support. Also fair play, baller move throwing the word "precious" around with your reputation

Touche.

It is pathetic, though. Most, if not all of those precious souls trotting around on a football field last night while looking like parks players earn more in a couple of weeks than most of us earn in a year, and the truth is most of them couldn't really give two ****s about the fans either. Nevertheless, it seems giving them a bit of stick when they're shit is taboo these days. I don't get it.

That free kick from Ralls was an embarrassment. I bet his teammates would jeer him in training if he did that.....

I'm not averse to a bit of stick, I just don't think have a few hundred people who are meant to be on your side boo or mock you with a song when you make a individual mistake is helpful if you want the team to do better. They might earn a decent amount of money but it doesn't buy you out of being a human who's confidence is affected by things like that.

And again, they were turned on so early in the game, there was so much left to play. AND if we'd lost last night that would have been the first loss we'd seen at home this season, it's not as if that crowd's used to seeing us get battered at home every week and has reached the end of its tether. Personally I think that that's the pathetic thing.

Do you think the negative reaction was down to what was happening in this one game in isolation? I don't.

In terms of basic skills like passing the ball and delivering set-pieces, the current side often looks abysmal even when it's winning or drawing. I genuinely can't remember a City side looking so poor at this level since they returned to it in 2003. Of course, they have spirit and determination, they fight and battle and they often manage to unsettle much better footballing sides as a result, last night being a fine example of that. They manage to grind out results by hook or by crook. Nevertheless, their play is generally ugly. I think the crowd has been reacting to that more than individual errors.

Of course it's frustrating and not great to watch but by your own admission the crowd weren't booing their own team for a lack of effort or spirit, but for a lack of quality. In my opinion that's pretty crappy support.

In my opinion, it's entirely justified. Those are Championship footballers out there. Some of them are internationals. Nevertheless, most of them currently don't look like they have an ounce of creativity in them or the ability to pass the ball ten yards in a straight line.

Do you think they're not capable of better?

Yes they probably are. Do you think booing them when they make a mistake is the way to get that better out of them?

Who knows? That would depend on the individual player. Some may suffer for it, some may not care less about it, while others might be galvanised by it.

They're managed by Neil Warnock. The crowd booing probably helps to drown out the abuse that they're getting from the touchline.

Well if they are then booing them isn't the way to bring it out.
They're professional footballers who are getting paid anyways , so if they get pissed off with the "supporters" at a club they'll stop trying, and that's a well established thing.

I wouldn’t boo but at that point we had been treated to extremely poor fayre for the standard we are at. Put with the gifting of the first 20minutes to the opposition without any attempt to force our way into the game and I can understand those who had had enough and vented their anger.
