    Didn't/couldn't listen to the game on Sat but have just read the T&A article from Bowyer about it and he mentions the boo's for Josh Wright. I know it may be from a minority but I really don't understand why they have targeted him, thought everyone was on a clean slate?

    Yes, he didn't track back/maybe do enough to try stop a goal in a game and he's obviously had a fall out with Hopkin, who's no longer at the club, but it looks like he's shown enough in training and it seems like his 'bad attitude' has not affected Bowyers inclusion back into the match day squad and also as a playing sub.

    Has he done more wrong in the short period he's played to warrant the negativity? Has he shown less bottle/performance than players like Anderson, NKP, O'Connor, Chicksen, Akpan, Doyle? I don't think he has.

    He’s terrible, but he’s not the only one. I can’t believe some of our fans this season tbh, really let themselves down booing a player coming onto the pitch in claret and Amber is pathetic regardless of who it is.

    My thoughts exactly. That goal you refer to at Barnsley in the Checkatrade, I actually thought was a good goal. He was also on a yellow so if he goes steaming in and mis-times then its curtains.

    There is always someone getting it in the neck.

    that might be true, but it's undermined somewhat by the fact you and your Pulse buddies think every goal ever scored against us a 'good goal' and that had it not been for referees and bad luck we'd be in the play offs.

    Yes, that game. That goal kind of sums our season up - more could have been done by more than just 1 player for the goal.

    If the booing means our little snowflakes will get the message that they aren't wanted, and hastens their departure then i'm all for it - hell.... throw in some hissing!!!

    You would have thought that being dropped and not playing before and during the transfer window would have done this.

    Our fans need a scapegoat. Its been this way for a couple of years now. If it wasnt Wright then it would have been Chicksen. Its pathetic really.

    Seems as though the subtle method hasn’t worked. Let’s ramp up the vitriol and make sure they know they’re not wanted (not that I think they’ll care).

    I'd slate our fans, some of who probably deserve it, but this is how bad this season has been.

    Unfortunately while Bowyer may wish to issue a clean slate, Bowyer hasn't watched the season take shape and paid for the privilege.

    It isn't right to boo our own players before they've kicked a ball, but this is how bad the recruitment has been and how wide of the mark we've got it in terms of assembling this squad.

    Lets learn from these lessons and get in lads who wear their hearts on their sleeves and will fight for the club.

    I was there on Saturday and he did get some stick as he came on and then when he touched the ball, but in his short cameo he didn’t do anything wrong. Watching them warm up before the game he looks broken.

    Unfortunately for Wright he’s the scape goat from last summers ridiculous recruitment campaign. Not exactly his fault he was offered x thousand pounds per week. Yet O’Connor who is one of the worst centre halves we’ve ever had and has taken the piss towards the club is applauded. Bizarre

    Jason bleeding Thornton gets right up my nose, totally biased in his commentary and never gives a true reflection of the game and another thing @EwanJM@EwanJM tell him to stop saying "that's absolutely ridiculous" every time a decision goes against City, he must say it at least 30 times during a game. Absolutely this absolutely that, grrrrrrrrrrr.

    Unfortunately with Jason being as bigger City fan as the rest of us he does tend to be bias.
    I remember Tony his dad working at the club many years ago (ticket dept) ?.

    He is dreadful. I can’t listen to him anymore. He ignores the fact that Charlton could have easily scored 4 at the weekend and that Lyle Taylor should have had a hattrick but instead spends the rest of the game banging on about Butterfield. Add that to the fact he screams whenever City get near the goal makes listening to him unbearable.

    I get that but to do it to a guy that has not really played since Nov? Bizarre.

    As I say bias ;), maybe a neutral would be a good idea, I tuned into Radio Leeds the other week and Chris Kiwomya was very poor IMO.

    Thornton's intro for the Charlton game was a pure gold

    "Relegation has been on the cards for a few weeks now".

    Only a few weeks...

    I personally think it is very harsh specifically picking on one player out of this shambles of a squad.

    Booing him when coming on as a sub is not a good idea, in my opinion
