Absolute tossers. Waiting behind just to have a go at the players and staff. None of us are happy, but how do they think that's helpful? If you can't applaud the effort, just get out of the ground fek off and have a beer. Plenty of time for more measured reflection.

Was just about to post in the match thread but probably fits here better

Irrespective of how good or bad we play or if you think Robins should stay or go it's disappointing that we have a vocal minority who struggle to hide their relish at a loss or poor performance. Seems we have some supporters who prioritise being 'right' and internet points over the success or failure of the club

Do we know what they said?

Robins and his team are taking us into a relegation scrap if this keeps up so not sure why we are surprised that some are venting.

Unless they were being abusive it's fair game as far as I'm concerned.

Think the fans that went today have every right to let the manager and players how they feel, it’s not acceptable and I’m not sure we’ve got the players who can turn this around, I like to thing I’ve always been a positive fan but even I’m struggling, i Thought we’d be ok once sheaf came back but that team just doesn’t look like it’s got the fight in it, hope robins gets a bit more time but it’s looking doubtful, luton game could be awful atmosphere

Well I am here and respectfully disagree. Letting them know it's not good enough is not the same as shouting dogs abuse and venting their spleen.

Latibeudiere was one of the players who gave everything. Some great defensive work. People were shouting at him to play it forward but rarely had that option due to a lack of movement ahead of him.so had to go sideways.

I don't disagree with that, but that wasn't all that was being said. The group in the bottom right hand corner were simply abusing them.

Travelling up and down the country watching that absolute shower of shit. Spent endless amount of money the least I’d expect is an ounce of effort. They’ve just had a week off training to try change the rot, today I didn’t see anything to suggest we’re in a better position. I’m sorry, Robins thank you for bringing us back from the oblivion but this can’t continue.

Exactly, 2 league wins out of the last 16, no matter what your managers done in the past that’s not acceptable,

We, as fans, are fully entitled to express our frustration at the completely miserable start to the season in the face of record prices, particularly those who went to the considerable time and expense to travel to Preston for a 12:30 kickoff. This is part and parcel of the extraordinary privilege of working professionally in football, toxic positivity doesn;t help anyone.

I thought the effort was decent today. A dodgy decision and a couple of bad misses. On a different day with that bit of luck we're not getting at the moment.

I have never abused the players at a game, nor do I boo at the end of the game, but it’s not hard to see why fans are furious at the moment.

We were sold a dream and at the moment it looks like we’ll be playing in League One next season.

So you're not up here then. Also, difference between expressing frustration and being a c**t.

They are not there taking in the applause, but rather to thank the fans for their support. If they had just pissed off down the tunnel after the game there would have been a much bigger furore.

Generallyy just telling the players to fekk off when they came over to applaud.

Coach nearly at the pub stop anyway so I think I need to get off here and cheer myself up with half a mild

I have myself refused to applaud the players after a terrible away performance, they need to hear that the fans aren't happy.

I hope you enjoy the pub stop; the social side of things is a huge part of the away day and I hope you can salvage your Saturday
