Baldyman Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Those that booed should take some time to reflect . Do they really want to be looked upon like we look upon “ entitled “ Villa, WBA and Leeds fans , many of whom seem to assume that they have a God given right to be in the Prem ? We have no such right and haven’t achieved even 10% of what those clubs have over the years . Away fans hearing us booing our own players at half time must really think we are a bunch of arrogant ***** ! Get a grip ! They didn’t deserve that treatment today . We weren’t exactly playing a bunch of also rans after all !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted we were really poor in the first half but was there really any need to give the players a reception like that? We’re punching above our weight in 7th, and we were playing one of the best teams in the league today. I’d be really interested to know what any of the people who vented at half time want/expect from this group of players? Johnson sounded surprised and pretty pissed off about the booing in his post match interview and I don’t blame him....

Look I was going to hold my tongue but that is the second game in a row at home we have been how can I say this without upsetting the happy clappers on here crap in the first half, for gods sake there was a big crowd drawn to the fact we were playing second in the league and we were in the top six, did we play like a team in the top six did we ****, so when people boo at half time that have paid up to £40 on the day don't you think they have the right to show their dissatisfaction, sorry but this is the second season in a row that the team have raised our expectations only to dash them, sorry but what exactly do you expect not everybody is happy to be punching above our weight some of us aspire to be champions. And yes I know this opinion is going to go down like a lead balloon, but do I give a sh*t no I don't and if that was an advert for renewing season tickets good luck with that.

I live in the real world.....if we dolled out that level as professionals We'd be reprimanded....I see no issue with booing (I didn't do it as it's not my style)....But I'm definately not showing appreciation for sub standard offerings from a team that can clearly do much much better. Some of these players earn in a week what some earn in 6 months.....have the professionalism to at least try and earn it. Well said, you're right, but to some the players and however they perform are above any kind of criticism, bizarre but there you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 I don't know what or whom the booing was directed at but I'd like someone to explain to me how booing acts as a positive incentive to spur your team on. I seem to remember the vast majority of the same so called brilliant leeds fans turning on their players at half time at Elland Road last season.

The standard of football on show by us today was absolutely dire. And damn right our fans should expect better. We're not expecting to roll them over, but for God's sake, at least look determined, put a tackle in, some decent movement. Something! Our performance today was at times, quite embarrassing. Pato looked lost, we had zero width. And hoofball because we lacked the composure to keep it down and string 3 passes in the right direction together. First half we were crying for Odowda to get into the space on the right side behind them, there was acres of it at times. But no, we didn't have our first shot in target until the 60th min. So it's no wonder people chose to show their displeasure at having their pants pulled down for £35+ a ticket if pay on the day and that level of performance is on offer. Has nothing to do with 'daytrippers' expecting too much. We were shocking today and made it easy for them. They're a dirty team, with really shite warnock-esque tactics. But our performance, some players need to take a long hard look at themselves today, because we're a long way off play off challenging if we carry on like that. 9 mins into the game, 1 nil down, and there was no real leadership on show. No real desire to push forward, get the equaliser, put a strong tackle in. And I'm gutted, because we've got the players capable of putting these very performances that we needed, in.

Context is something that needs to be considered but there are far too many people that have absolutley no concept of the word and let their heart rule their head. It's inevitable that players have a bad day....now that I've calmed down and am thinking more objectively I can actually state that it's a lack of drive/passion simply going through the motions....(Desilva looked as if he couldn't be bothered yesterday for example)....I'm sure that most people are aware that if they continually had bad performances (like the first half in all our recent games) then it would be noticed. I take your point about the opposition....yesterday they had clearly done their homework.....pressing us at the back.....not giving us anytime.....flooding midfield.....we never looked comfortable...and for that Leeds have to be commended. We could barely string 3 passes together. It's frustrating because we are better than what I saw yesterday...I fear we are on the slippery slope to mid-table conclusion. (That said....I'd rather that than have to worry about a relegation battle!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may think it has a negative effect. Then how come managers rollicks their players does have a negative effect or not. Let me think! Anyway they pay their fees and therefore it’s not up to us how one wants to express it. It’s free will to express if one don’t like it don’t listen, ignore, switch off, go home.

Red-Robbo Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 There wasn't any booing where I am seated - middle Dolman - but after halves like the first 45, you do get a sort of collective groan that can sound a bit like a boo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our players and manager have it pretty easy actually. I didn't go on Saturday but everyone tells me we were shit and not up to the challenge both on the pitch and in the dugout. That being the case I think its fair to express an opinion and at a sporting event that's usually by booing. The fact it riled Johnson tells you that he didn't expect it which shows how complacent everyone is because it happens up and down the country every week but not here, and that is why I believe we will at best sit between 7th and 12th in the table year on year.
