To the point I'm embarrassed in front of people at work, and in the pub that know I'm a red. It's just not the club I was fanatical about growing up. ****** right off with it. I've grown up with this club to, around 30 years in fact and its always been mediocre... We've been in much more embarrasing situations... 9 straight defeats under Johnson Snr. including humiliation at Barnet was an embarrassment.... 98/99 was a total embarrassment, a few years ago was a total embarrassment, being bottom of L1 was a total ******* embarrassment! Why is this so different now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we are under dogs tomorrow then, how can we compete with such clubs............we will do well to keep a defeat in single figures and in fact a draw would be great.

The LJ Faith have repeatedly asked how we can be expected to compete with big clubs like Villa , Newcastle They have said how can we compete with clubs still getting Premiership payments and listed them Theyve said We are trying to compete against established Championship sides who have been in it a few years Theyve said how can we compete with sides like Wolves who spend 12-13 million in one player Burton ( and a few others ) are a bit of a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 I've just set up a poll regarding Saturday and the result in order to hopefully avoid further factions in our support. It will be interesting to see the results. We all have the club at heart but people choose different ways of showing it. Sometimes those differences cause arguments. The poll should give us an idea of what we actually want. I've never set one up before so go easy on me. 2 straightforward choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 87 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 3 minutes ago, bs3 said: It all depends how we are playing whether or not the fans boo or get behind the team. I'm sure if we going a couple up people will get behind the team and may get a little nervous. If we are playing well and its 0-0 I could see the crowd really being vocal, roaring the team on. On the other hand if we are playing poorly and losing by more than one goal, I'm sure the crowd will react even with more toxic venom than the Fulham game. I agree with this as it will be an emotional reaction to what is happening on the pitch, if we go behind I would expect more backlash. however to go out from kick off intent on abusing the manager and not focus on the game itself and its importance is counter productive imo.

Let's not give them an easy team talk. Agree, 99% of us want him gone but get behind the players during the game. Unless we turn in a Fulhamesk performance then it will turn .

I will however be supporting the players in any way I can on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of how terrible the manager is - and he is terrible - if you are more interested in his future during the game than you are actually supporting the team you have paid to watch, then you have got your priorities all wrong.

Up The City! Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 2 hours ago, Dollymarie said: Surely any abuse should be left either side of the 90 minutes? The game should be 100% on wanting us to win. Us booing/voicing displeasure about the manager is simply going to be counterproductive and not help the players in the least. Boo if you want to, but not whilst the game is on hey? The thing is Dolls there is a lot of people who will quite happily see us lose in the hope he is sacked.

Bristol Rob Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 My plan for supporting the team remains largely unchanged. Turn up slightly worse for wear. Moan at the stewards for making a fat bloke open his jacket. Having a couple of pints to take the edge off. Sit in near silence from my seat in the Dolman. Leave a couple of minutes early. Have another pint so I can go home hangover free. Order a curry It has been no more positive or negative than that for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freezer Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 It'll be a nervous affair all round. The fans will be nervous, the players will be nervous, my Mrs will be nervous if I come home peed off again. I'm sure LJ will be nervous but will probably still spout lines from his football book of cliches. Unfortunately due to the importance of this game, if we go behind or play poorly there will be negativity from the stands. Even worse at full time. No getting away from that. So sing, boo, stay silent, wave white hankies, stay away do what you feel is right. The only thing I know is that us fans haven't got us in this position. However we have supported our team.

LocoPal Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Support the team ... snub/shun the manager. If you don't like what he says, then don't watch/hear/read his interviews, as I too, have lost all interest in what this man has to say any more However, despite him, our team still needs our support when they take the pitch. This idea is highly unlikely to gain any traction, but perhaps a silent protest by disgruntled fans, by not taking our seats until the 12th minute (i.e. 12th man)? Empty stands for the first 12 minutes of the match would be a better visual indicator to the powers that be, that it isn't just a minority that are unhappy with him?
