Booing the team off


With the exception of the period after our first goal, it was the most noise from our supporters yesterday. Even then Wilson had to get us going. With the exception of the Sheffield United game, our home support, recently, has been really quiet. Attempts to start songs just seemed to fail. It felt like nervous tension in the crowd all game not helped by no real impetus on the pitch.

There was definitely a fair bit of nervous tension yesterday. A few people around me in the West Stand criticising the 'young uns' in the South Stand for not creating an atmosphere.

3 points off second after 29 matches despite having to constantly change the team around due to injuries? On balance, I'd say they've done well and demonstrated the right mentality.

Yeah mostly they have I agree. And I can’t help wondering how much difference having Mundle or Watson to call on would have made -we’ve certainly looked more creative with them in the team

Reckon we'd have more points if Mundle or Watson stayed fit. Mundle doesn't have any more quality than the players on the pitch yesterday but he provides balance, and then to fill in for him you're playing players out of position and they're nowhere near as effective as when playing in their natural position. Scholes and Keane wouldn't have looked the same players playing out wide. You only have to look at England during those years when they had Scholes, Gerrard and Lampard to see that you need balance in the team. If England had a genuine left winger in those days they'd have been a different proposition, instead they were left to play a very good player out of position and in that position he looked average. That lack of balance impacts the whole team.
 
Sack the seating plan
Every week therea two option at entry
1 Get behind the team it's what we do
2 We're shite, we'll have the wrong tactics ,we'll have crap subs and formation etc so I'll twist for 90 minutes then boo

Once we're all in we'll try and out sing /boo each other
Atmosphere sorted
 
Not a great fan of it myself. Hardly builds their confidence or encourages them. I understand the crowd’s frustration, because Plymouth were dogshit. Perhaps not the best way to express the frustration.
 
I would have booed them off but I was home and in the bath by the time the match finished, I left on the 75th minute.

I will boo if I think the team aren't trying hard enough, or are not passionate enough. I have made countless sacrifices following SAFC (including losing a wallet and having me rare 60 year old Vincent motorcycle pushed over at Loftus road), so when highly paid footballers can't be bothered to try hard for the fans, I get very angry and will boo louder than a cow.
 
Mags are ripping the piss.

You're an adult. You'd look an absolute goon standing their booing.

Just because we were poor doesn't mean we weren't trying
