    It was a number of things. Frustration at watching a team struggle to score because of the inability to bring in goal scorers across the midfield and front six, starting with a line up that was quite negative and taking Cook off when we needed a goal. But the main factor is it seems to be a fashionable thing to do these days. I'd understand booing a shocking game of football, and boy we've seen plenty of them over the last few years. But this wasn't that bad. Just an average game of league 2 football.

    Yeah if we're counting the EFL trophy games. We'll be counting the reserves next I suppose.

    we seem to only count these things in winning runs rather than losing streaks

    Not after a one off defeat but as others have said when it's a combination of a defeat(again), poor tactics and poor subs I just feel I have to...

    I don't understand the need to boo our players even when they fail to perform or the tactics were wrong or the subs weren't used. In a similar way, I never booed my kids as they were growing up for doing things I disagreed with.

    o_Oo_O Was it acceptable to call HopkinS and O’Connor a pair of useless c**ts after we capitulated against Walsall a couple of seasons ago?

    Really? I boo my kids all the time.

    Ever since the government made it illegal to give them a good thrashing with the cane.

    Imagine being at work and getting bad instructions that just don't work out and getting heckled personally for your performance by a bunch of observers

    Great for morale that I bet

    Imagine being paid huge amounts of money for the privilege.

    I'm sure I'd survive.

    sounds like working in retail. Decisions made further up the chain but staff on shop floor get constant hassle from customers

    The other team also get paid for the privilege who do you think wins in these situations

    In a game of fine margins only dimwits hand the opposition a boost of any kind

    Aye, clap harder. It's worked all these years posters like you have been telling us that it's all the fans fault.

    I find it astounding that even with hindsight people still actually believe that it's only the fans negativity holding the club back.

    What bad instructions? Do you honestly think Adams is saying to the players, 'Right lads, I want you to go out there and create loads of chances but whatever you do, don't, I repeat, don't, put the ball in the back of the net'.?????

    Isn't that what happens when players get booed because the tactics are wrong

    Never said that was Saturday I was following his train of thought

    You can't deny it happens
