The first 15 minutes showed that the crowd will get up to it with a bit of effort and quality. As soon as that disappeared, so did the noise. All on the players. And to react that sensitively to justified frustration and/or anger is pathetic. And to be delighted for the poor little millionaire? I'm not quite sure what that is to be honest. I just think if fans can shout at Idah and call him a c*nt for not being whatever they want him to be at that precise moment, then players are allowed to give a thumbs up to the crowd. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he was just giving it to the handful of morons who like to abuse our own players then fair enough. If you think it was only those fans that made up the thousands and thousands who saw that pathetic performance worthy of booing then I don't know what to tell you.

We need to replace and improve on all 11 current players, although I realise that cannot and will not happen. We do need better players in all positions, unfortunately.Ā Short memory, I seem to recall that Krull in his first season was very poor indeed. May have still be in recovery after his awful injury, but the fact remains he was poor at that time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem the lad has is the club nailing it's colours to the mast (or seeming to) by giving him that 5 year contract... He will ALWAYS have that hanging over him now with everyone wondering what he's shown to be given that sort of faith.Ā I really think it's our own fault (club not fans) as he should of been given a loan or two at least 3 seasons ago.. I feel like certain people inside the club see the hat-trick against Preston and immediately though ah we have a winner here, no need for the lad to go out and play first team football - he's already shown he can score against championship level teams... He needed regular full games to find tune his craft instead of being thrown on for a few minutes here and there and expected to pull something out of his backside.Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have absolutely no insight to the 5 year contract, how it's structured or anything. It just looks like we are protecting ourselves with a young asset. Hes always going to struggle if our fans want to give him dogs abuse for daring to come on the pitch when the manager asks him to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,286 Posted April 10, 2023 Gunn will have his own reasons for his reaction and fair enough but maybe he was equally annoyed at what he saw unfold ahead of him? Professional football isn't about putting effort in, if it were I could run around forĀ 90 minutes, puke my guts up and say yeah I've done a great job. We were poor in terms of creativity, urgency and quality in the final 3rd. It doesn't justify booing but when the manager calls for support you are perfectly entitled to react after a performance like that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
