Yes, they were great. No, they had no tangible impact on the team's performance, positive or otherwise. The buck stops with the team and manager.

For the display: Yes
For clapping with instead of singing: No

Didn't like them much but wouldn't really vote 'no' either. I was far more disappointed with the opera... she's a fine singer but that was all far too slow and overhwhelmed the excitement. It's good when she does Sussex by the Sea but save the rest for 'kick and clap' at Twickenham.
ees complicated no?

They were as good of an idea as the teams performance yesterday.

Display was good although not manically creative. Not a fan of those sorts of things in general unless there is some fan input on it

Then again
People are just looking for things to blame.

They'd be fine to get a bit of noise going for an early season match or something. However, there was no need last night, and I think that they did distract from singing.

What difference would that have made anyway? Would singing have meant Ashley Barnes' effort have gone in off the woodwork?

My view is that as a banner it was great and we could go further and have more elaborate designs. We missed a trick though. We should have given them to Palace fans as well spelling out "scum" on them.
But the clapper noise was a killer and meant all singing was pointless and drowned out.

But not worse than starting without two strikers up front. That had a much more negative effect on the atmosphere than clappers, displays, opera singers, etc.

Does the word sausage have gay implications?
