Stopped reading at "we didn't have enough first team players for a 5 a side"

Gooch
Honeyman
Cattermole
Oviedo
Mathews
Watmore
Maja
Mcgeady
Hume
Kimpioka
Robson etc,etc.....

All have featured this season.
All possible 2nd choice had Ross had a full transfer window with a big buffet , which he didn't , do those 11 are our team put them in a winning formation without a keeper?

Watmore was injured, Oviedo was on extended leave due to having been in Russia for World Cup, Maja Hume and Kimpioka we’re certainly not considered as first team squad players when they returned for preseason training, I’ve never heard of etc etc when did we sign him?
This

You were implying we hardly had a squad and were playing catch up, well all of the above were there and most of our signings were made before the first league game.
This myth that we didn't have a squad in the summer is exactly that a myth.

Sorry there old chap! I reckon ours are within reason of what is announced. They do include non attending ticket holders though but i just dont think many who have paid don’t attend

I think you are right as far as fans attending matching amount of season tickets as there is also a good chunk of fans Hank with season tickets who give them to friends family when they can’t go (I’ve had to do it a few times), but I for 1 am not buying tickets
For my family and friends for the play offs when I can’t go:lol:

I’ve done it this time for 2 reasons,I hoped to change the bairns mind and The nagging doubt the club put priority on this Portsmouth game for any potential final.
 
Tbf, we deserve the abuse coming our way. We’ve lost 17000 fans in less than 2 weeks.

It safe to say we can drop the “best fans in the world” crap you read on here.
So who can we call the best fans in the world then? (not saying we are by the way)
Most teams crowds will fluctuate with how they are feeling, what they're seeing on the pitch etc,etc...

Barcelona had 98k for the Liverpool game and only 40odd k for their lowest league attendance (averaging 77k) should they deserve abuse.
Real Madrid had 78k v Atletico and only 46k v Villerreal, Should they deserve abuse?

So they turn up for the big games that matter? Right now this is our biggest game of the season
 
having a smaller crowd might work in the teams favour - maybe less pressure in their minds ?

lets be honest too, this team doesn't command a high attendance - they aren't that great. Its the club that is in our hearts, and I know the current team represent the club, but they are pretty average at best.
