    Go to say that the 750+ fans today were immense in their support for the team.

    Constant support and encouragement despite the fact we all really expected to get mullered.

    A great example was when L O'Brien chased down their full back in the corner near us and blocked the ball and the roar was like we had scored. Just like old times.

    We need more support like this at home and to all come together as one to keep OUR club in this league this season.

    Yes it was a good atmosphere. There were still a few fans who weren't encouraging - Doyle came in for a bit of stick. He is bound to struggle without a target man alongside, but even given that he didn't have a good game, but I can't see how abusing him will help. Mostly however we those present got behind the team and appreciated their efforts. I was encouraged by the performance.

    Just a shame some have to ruin it by singing songs about Jimmy Saville and their manager been a "peado"...

    Why not just focus your energy on your own team?

    Great performance by the lads anyways, David Ball was tremendous. Caddis looks a great free agent after todays showing and once again O'Donnell & O'Connor keeping us in the game.

    TBH I didn't hear anything against Doyle. He was on a hiding to nothing on how we set up today.

    There were only a few shouts against Doyle near us, but they were there. Doyle looked frustrated when he was subbed. I agree with you he was on a hiding to nothing, he will be until a target man plays alongside him.

    There are surely no better fans than City fans when responding to our players when they give their all, or seeing one of our own putting in a shuddering tackle

    What was the chant? And why did it ruin anything?

    Ball was different class today - showed what he is all about today.
    First half - best we’ve been all season.
    Great debut by Caddis.

    How can he look frustrated? What was he expecting to happen? He doesn't challenge for the ball, or compete properly. If you're not even going to exert yourself physically, how can you be disappointed when you fail to impact on the game? It's not because their CB's are 6'5 and 6'3, because he failed to challenge or compete against any centre back of any stature.

    I'd rather not repeat them but there were two that were very unpleasant. I don't like the guy but the songs were not the type of thing young fans should be hearing. Both were sang fairly frequently. The bunch singing them were towards the back above and to the left (looking up from the pitch) of one of the entrances.

    So no photograph of these people on your mobile phone to share on here and ‘shame’ them?

    A decent point yesterday. Two massive home games coming up. We needs wins and fast though. Hopefully we are moving in some kind of right direction, hopefully we don’t mess up these next two games, though we’ve said that before. I don’t buy that blind positivity and support alone will be the magic missing ingredient to cure this mess, it might help, but anyone would think they’ve had nil support so far all this season, which clearly is not true.

    They've had great support all season considering how it's gone. I really don't understand your point.

    Perhaps reduce the numbers at VP to @ 750+? :unsure:

    I have seen a vid of our fans clapping the manager and players. At last that connection.

    You're just a fat Jimmy Saville.

    With a packet of sweets and a cheeky smile, Evans is a effing paedophile.

    Etc etc. But when he's flashing his little chode at female staff workers we have, it's expected really...

    Fair point but I don't know why but yesterday felt that there was more of a connect between the players and fans than there has been previously this season.
    Even when passes were misplaced there wasn't the usual groaning and moaning. Well certainly not around where I was sitting.
    The scenes at the end were good and there was a hearty chant of we are staying up.
    I hope they can reproduce that level of team work between now and January, at least, and I can see us keeping up with the teams around us.

    It was there against Pompey too and in patches for a few previous games.

    The mood has certainly lifted among players and fans though since JR was announced to be coming back and Edin has been relatively anonymous.

    That's not a coincidence either before you leap to his defence.

    Why would I want to leap to JR's defence?
