I think you are right that there is normally no atmosphere but I think the crowd will hopefully get behind the players now. I think this week gone by is an opportunity to turn the corner that the crowd need to aid the players in doing. It is not going to help our fight for league status if supporters get on Joe Oastler's back the moment he mis-places a pass. All that will do is aid the relegation fight of Plymouth Argyle, Accrington Stanley et al.brucie wrote:There is no atmosphere at the ground - contrast that with the relegation fight under Colin Lee when the atmosphere was sensational.
My personal view is that the supporters who turn up know that we are not going to win and thats the problem.
If there are players who have not been good enough, then the end of the season is the time to think about that and remedy the situation. Players like Oastler are very young and prone to loss in confidence, I should imagine. Now isn't the time to point out to individual players that you may think they are crap or should be dropped. Now is the time to try and support those players in being in the best frame of mind to fight for our club and its league safety.
A week or so ago it felt like the club, the players and maybe us fans had just rolled over and accepted our fate. It feels like a little bit of fight may have just returned and that needs to be harnessed to the best effect. I suppose it is a case of, if you feel you are just going to slag off the team then don't go, as they are probably better off with 1200 supporting them, than 2000 there with 800 having a go at them.
