Booing must do the new lads and the younger lads the world of good. Class.

It’s not arrogant to have high expectations in our circumstances.
Oxford also had new players in their team yesterday, but they played better football than we did, and looked much more dangerous in attack than we did, especially in the first half.
We looked disjointed and short on creativity again.
Hume in particular was all over the place, and it was little wonder, Oxford got so much joy down their right wing yesterday.
Cross after cross, from our left and right side, was hit too deep or simply sailed straight into the South Stand.
Yes, I realise we are a 3rd tier team, with 3rd tier players, but from what I seen yesterday, nothing much has changed from the second half of last season.
Creativity was lacking, we lacked cohesion, and even basic skills, such as passing a ball accurately to a colleague, looked beyond one or two players, yesterday.
We looked toothless up front, and the defence was at sixes and sevens.
Oxford could have been out of sight by half time, (they missed a sitter, scored one, and had what looked like a good headed goal, disallowed)
I know, that no team has ever won the league, or been relegated in August, so we still have plenty of time, to hopefully get any problems in midfield, defence, and attack, ironed out, but we really do need to improve on yesterday's result, and performance, and quickly.
His last sentence is a matter of opinion, the first two indisputable logic.
You want a self fulfilling prophecy... keep booing
I don’t disagree, but booing does not help and the longer the team play hopefully the better they will get.
Booing just heaps on pressure and helps opposition... not a good idea
You been in some kind of enforced sleep state.
We are a third division side now and we can afford 3rd division players in both ability and mentality.
Get over yourself and support or don’t go
First, a disclaimer - I only saw the game on SAFSEE, but for me it wasn't the draw that was the problem, it was the manner of it. There appeared to be no discernible plan other than to get rid of the ball as soon as possible, usually to an opponent. No composure from anybody. This changed when McGeady and McGuire came on but by then it was far too late. Most of our players seemed incapable of passing to a team mate or controlling the ball. In other words, exactly the same as the arse end of last season. Same shit, different personnel. To not know your best team or formation after the length of time Ross has had is nothing short of disgraceful. I'm not surprised they were booing.Last season I'd have agreed. But this season started today. What we did last year or a few years ago is irrelevant.
The season started today, we got a draw. Not the end of the world and if we are there or thereabouts (as i expect) in the new year it will be forgotten. But we have no right to expect to win every game based on the fact we have a good crowd and nice stadium.
Leave that attitude to them up the road
What are you waffling on about, snowflake?
Do you want to debate something relating to football, that’s what the forum is for?
If not Iam sure you can find some childish media somewhere else that will indulge you.
You're last reply to me wasn't football related, snowflake!

His tactics haven't changed.Started five players yesterday who weren't here for any of the previous, but 'nothings changed.' Whatever.
