Considering the numbers I thought we were awful today. Everybody around me was more interested in complaining than getting behind the team. Anybody's else feel this?

There were a few people getting straight on players backs after one poor pass or mistake, some people seem to enjoy it.

There were a hell of a lot more complaining than supporting that's for sure.

Surprisingly none was aimed at the owners.

Also Swindon's away refreshment area was one of the worst I've ever been to. How do they expect to get 800 people in there?

The brown stuff has hit the fan, supporters realise this could be It re our fortunes 18 players leave just 4 come in, the players will always take the brunt of the fans frustrations which I fear will get a lot worse.

What a debacle. We went down on 35 minutes for half an hour. Ran out of beer and pie was burnt. Fans coming down at half time went straight to the front of the queue, stewards did jack shit as per usual.

Little bit of irony there - "FANS coming down at half-time" against "Went down after 35 minutes" - why not stay at home and not waste your money?

Normally going down on 35 minutes would mean a quick pie avoid the queues and be back in the seat by 40 minutes. Is that ok with you?

Why don't you just not have a pie, you're only in the ground for 2 hours, eat before or after

You've got to be joking? The whole fan base was supportive up until they scored and even then tried to get behind the team.

Yeah the fans around me were spurring them on for the entire game even after their winner. We should've been out of sight after 30 minutes in all honesty. Should've scored at least one from Sordell hitting the post, DKE's shot and the 2 Thomas chances.

The problem is we set the bar last season and now fans are expecting another challenge.

What we put out today is far from ideal, but I do believe that Mowbray did try and that deals did fall through.

Could be a hard season in the stands if we go back to the also ran, hovering round the wrong of the league team of previous years.

A bloke behind me shouted "Get off, Sordell" five minutes into the second half....

Another "fan" encouraged Ryan Haynes near the end of the game by shouting "You fucking useless ginger c**t" at him as he tried to put in a cross from the byline

The fans were a little quiet today, not helped by most being in an open end so any singing was not heard, the game being very poor and the very warm weather. In our end most were trying to see the game with bright sunshine straight into our view.
In all honesty personally I did not enjoy the game at all.

Our 'fans' could really play a massive part in this club...not tarring everyone with the same brush but if we had fans that actually encouraged instead of shouting your shit etc etc maybe that could be the turning point for a player to actually want to come here...
Yesterday Murphy scored for Norwich, he was also our 2nd top scorer last year...he went through a bad spell so what did people shout...Murphy you're shit !!!! ffs Now Kwame Thomas is shit along with Haynes etc etc ...FFS try singing their fucking names when they are having a bad time...you never know it may just help because sure as hell calling them shit aint fucking working !!!!!!

You can't blame the player's for the lack of investment in the team and lack of transfer activity you can only blame our owner's and should be venting our anger towards them.Support whoever is on the pitch.

Not saying I disagree with you, but having been to a lot of MLS games where the fans are relentlessly positive, I can confirm that shit players don't get any less shit when you sing their name regardless.

There were some real dick heads there on Saturday.

Behind the goal the old grey haired geezer was a total embarrassment.

Some of our fans moaning about their keeper celebrating their goal was embarrassing. Oh course he is going to milk it, you were giving him shit all afternoon. You were giving him shit all afternoon weren't you?

Heard very little negative stuff Saturday. One or two silly shouts from individuals, but nothing collective. Team were actually clapped off. Can't see what people are going on about. What's the point getting all precious because one idiot called Haynes a useless ginger prick - he's not as though Haynes could hear him. There was a sense of resignation amongst the fans - a collective understanding that the team were not up it, but the negative stuff was really just the odd comment and it isn't really worth a thread of its own.

I agree, you do hear the odd comment, but in all honesty we had more complaints about the Sun than the game around us.
