Pathetic support

I thought our fans have been brilliant over the past few seasons. Sadly, yesterday I realised I was wrong. In fact, a large number are pathetic. Getting on the backs of a team of mainly youngsters who just need a cutting edge in the shape of an experienced front man.

As for the McGhee slagging/ Wilkins adulation.... doesn't the current over-elaborate style of play have Wilkin written all over it. I love what we're trying to do, but if someone of Dario Gradi's experience reckons we're not good enough to do it, I think we should sit up and take notice..

I was very surprised at how poor your support was yesterday. A far cry from a few years ago....

Barely 500 fans, and didnt make any noise at all.

We were equally as poor too, before anyone gets on my back.

People have paid a lot of money going to these games if they feel the team or certain players are not givin 100% you can see why they are voicing displeasure, I actually agree with YOU but this is always going to happen.

From where I was stood I thought we were pretty loud.

It would be louder if everyone joined in though, instead of those at the front just sitting in silence.

Once or twice we were. And well done for that :clap:

But I think there's a definite rift at the moment between those who feel the players and management are doing their best in difficult circumstances and the more vocal minority who are getting on their backs.

Yeh, people pay their money and can have their say, but "what a load of rubbish" at the end? What an exaggeration. If fans haven't seen much, much worse than that, they can't have been supporting the Albion very long :)

What's that? pass it across the defence and then lump it forward and hope we get a lucky break?

Probably due to the fact wages are going down, council taxes wise faster than taken viagra, water, gas, electricity is going through the roof.

That's why you're seeing many empty seats up and down the country, people have to tighten their budgets as there’s stormy waters ahead.

There were over 500 there, I know that for a fact but cannot confirm how loud we were as I was actually in Swaffham yesterday.

Yes its not great but when your playing away and youv'e just come off the back of relegation and a 4-1 home defeat what do you expect? We aint Sheff Wed etc.

Whats more worrying is 5800 at home! Specaily when you see teams like MK Dons getting 6300. Apathy is rife at present, dick realy needs to make a big decision now about the playing side of the club or 5800 will look pretty good in the new year. What worse paying Mcghee off now or losing 1000-2000 off the home gate from now till end of the season????

Have I missed something here?

After the crewe game Gradi mentioned that we were simliar to arsenal that we like to get the ball down on the floor and try and pass the ball into the back of the net, like arsenal were critisisted the day before against man city

Fans are fed up paying a lot of money to watch rubbish. Simple really. The economic reality of MaGoo's on and off field chaos is showing in the low home gates and now the away gates.

MaGoo out.

Ultimately people are entilted to their say. Things are likely to get a lot uglier before they get better.

Indeed away games will be even more fun when we lose and start disagreeing with each other.
