Demitri_C Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Like Bruce the players need to give the fans something to cheer about. Their second half performance was unacceptable 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as some don't like him, booing Westwood coming onto the pitch is a joke and are we going to boo every single time we don't win a game? We've just got a new man in charge, give it a break. I didn't hear any booing for Westwood when he came on. There was a little for Richards when his name was announced in the warm up, but nothing in the games to the best of my knowledge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I heard some booing when Westwood came on and it is madness. Jedinak was done so it was the right move. I know many don't rate him but booing him is certainly not going to enhance his performance. As for the booing at the end it was from a fair few but lasted seconds. Supporters in the main aren't happy it is a simple as that and some choose to show that and until we start winning games, or at least deserve to win games, then that will remain the case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 The way those players performed today they deserved shooting not booing. (And I sang none stop throughout and never booed once BTW) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Is it possible to move your season ticket seat elsewhere? I've absolutely had it with the people sitting around me. Booing Westwood, booing Jedinak, just in general creating a really negative atmosphere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I was a little surprised at the "shit on the City" song just after our goal, when we started the game in the relegation zone, 10 points behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Not sure if this goes here and in the grand scheme of things seems a little petty, but why on earth have we switched dugouts? Personally, isn't it better for our squad to be nearer our biggest home support (ie the holte)? Just don't understand the reasoning for change. Apologies if this has been covered already somewhere else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce asked for it as he felt the change of dugout had brought about bad luck I understand I have to say though of all the awful things which have befallen us the last few months questioning the change of dugout would be the least of questions I have to ask! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for clarifying mate, I had no idea and totally agree that it seems the least of our problems. Give anything a go right now though, even some positive mental attitude lessons from Eileen Drewery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Over 30,000 for a televised second division match in which we have won a total of 3 home games this calendar year- I would say our support is tremendous. If we somehow actually started like, winning, games then of course the atmosphere will improve. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate of mine who has been an avid season ticket holder for years didn't renew and hasn't been to a game this season. I keep wondering who on earth keeps turning up week in week out if someone like him has stopped. We have been so utterly utterly awfull for so long now the whole support it brow beaten. My Wolves mate today was shell shocked when my Villa mate announced we had won 4 in 54 games. He didn't realize just how terrible we have been. Atmosphere wise everyone is brow beaten. We have so little to lift us from the team and as soon as we take a knock everyone expects the worst.... And the low expectations have been borne out again and again and again. The players have a duty to give the fans something to hang our hat on but they have given us nothing for years.

mikeyp102 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) My mate had a seat in the upper holte k2 area. He was fuming today. Apparently everytime he stood up when we were on the attack ( as you do), some people were telling him to sit down... Seriously, is that how bad we treat people who want to cheer the team on...

Rugeley Villa Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 The fact that we will still average over 30k a game in this league is superb. Tickets weren't the cheapest either, but also throw in our form and they seem quite expensive considering our win ratio at home. I thought the booing at the end weren't needed, but I suppose it was just frustration at another shambles of a display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiezels Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Vicious cycle. that run of 5 games conceding around the 90 has psychologically **** the team and us as fans. The players are lacking confidence, especially toward the end of games so drop off, we as fans get nervous, angry and get on their backs which makes it harder for them to snap out of it. We can all see that squad is strong for this league but that's going to be Bruce's hardest job is getting that mentality right. Get 2/3 wins on the bounce and that changes.

pintpotvilla Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Yesterday for the first time ever i was forced to leave after the Wolves goal because of the foul mouthed incessant negative ranting of a booze fuelled moron sitting next to me and my wife. Even after our goal he would not stop his vile diatribe aimed at any player who had the ball. Sitting directly in front of us were four small children apparently attending their first game,God knows what their father was thinking.In the end my wife saw how uptight Ihad got and asked for us to go. After telling the cretin why we were leaving we did just that. Iinformed a WPC sittig directly behind us but she just shrugged her shoulders. Today I just feel sad for our great club (i have been going for 50 years) but Iwill not be subjected to that sort of behaviour for anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
