Most liked posts in thread: Why are we so poor at home?

I agree with the poster who said how our fans turn on the team at home just adds to the poor performances. If they make a mistake, all they hear are groans. We should be accepting of mistakes as long as the players are trying!

 

not as much as the dress she wore in Logans Run

 

Bottle jobs

 

There's been a pattern with them these last few years though hasn't there ?

 

It’s there cup final

 

Yes I get they want to come and give us a game in front of our big crowd. However, our players should be equipped to deal with it. They are here on probably above average pay to entertain their 18000 supporters. If they are soft in front of a big crowd them they should be dropped or not here!

 

Shocking again yesterday, must be the worst 18,000 atmosphere going.

 

Agree

 

Totally agree. That’s what I’ve been saying to me friend I sit with. Totally devoid of any atmosphere or excitement.

 

I was talking of our fanbase masterminded by our two incompetent owners which have ripped the heart and energy out of our club.

 

The question was, why are we poor at home and it’s bizarre to blame Rupp when 18,600 fans turn up with great excitement and are let down once again by negative tactics. There’s tension in the stands because the fans are so desperate for the team to win.

 

Yes he’s answering the question, part of the reason we’re poor is shocking atmosphere creating a tension around the ground which the players just don’t experience at away games. Rupp like it or not has been a cause of that through 5 years of failure. It won’t change over night.

 

How about this lineup:
Lewis
Halliday Platt Crichlow Foulds
Pereira Smallwood Chapman
Banks Cook Wright

 

It has changed overnight. Not one person who went to the game yesterday apart from maybe yourself or the poster who blames Rupp were saying “We are so crap because Rupp has ruined everything, nothing to do with Smallwood or Gilliead being hopeless,all down to Rupp”.

 

Are you sure? It's only missing Gilliead and he's no ball winner. Get all our skilfull players on the pitch at once and tell them to go for it. At least it would be fun to watch. You never know, it could be a revelation. We could try it at Salford where we've nothing to lose.

 

No! Not when most of them are old, boring and we have people there because they have nothing better to do on a Saturday due to Bradford as a City not offering much.

The only way we change the atmosphere is to increase the prices and get fans who really want to follow the club home and away(if possible).

The club is trying to be in the modern world but the lot of the fans are not keeping up with pace.

 

I would certainly like to go 4-3-3 but feel we’re missing a decent midfield player to play in centre midfield for it to work.

 

Close upper sunwin and NW corner, move away fans to TL Dallas and fill 3 sides of the ground

 

The atmosphere was terrible against Stevenage, 3-0 against second in the league. It’s also poor just before kick off, whether you like it or not there’s more to it than just scoring a goal or two.

 

We need to start getting back down to the hardcore of fans and build up again.

New era of fans that have passion. Not those that can hardly walk or use their voice.

To achieve this we start putting the prices up. Too many City go because they have nothing else to do in life.
