We’re on the edge of the drop zone with nearly a quarter of the season gone. It’s nowhere near good enough.

that didn’t use to matter. You can slice it any way you want, support is really poor compared with before.

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'm not usually his biggest fan but probably m.o.m today, still not sure where his best position is though.

Of course it makes a difference, especially when we’re being told the players are lacking in confidence.

And no that’s not an ‘excuse’, just another thing going on in the background.

Because in the years before we were a team fighting against the odds and the fans bought into that. This season expectations are higher, and no, not everyone bought into talk of the automatics, they just think we shouldn’t be battling to stay in the league given what we’ve spent.

Agreed with that, it’s probably the underdog us against the world mentality with all the off field problems

not saying that’s an excuse for supposedly being quiet now mind, but as I said I don’t think it matters

The only times we've been here before is when we had no ground to play in.

What's the excuse this season?

Well we can but it doesn't work

We really need to stop blaming the fans for how shite we are
Click to expand...

On the other hand, some of our fans are utter shite. Stood in silence away at Leeds after 5 mins for the rest of the game when the players needed us, silent most games unless winning. Our fans overestimate how good we are. Silent unless winning, replica shirt over hoody wearing wimps and benefits bandits.

Maybe the players should boo our fans next time we go silent because we’re not winning.

As for the twats shouting abuse, go back to your mums spare room and dream of having intimacy or a real job. You’re entitled to nothing in football and get behind the team or get back behind your Xbox.

Overall a point would have been fair but it was a poor performance with a moment of class from Wright.

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.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I’ve thought this for most of the season to be honest and summed up by some boos at HT against Sheff Weds (1-1) A load whipped themselves up to thinking we were walking the league and tuned into some entitled toxic fanbase we all hate

If we’d not turned up today and got battered fair enough, show some anger and frustration at robins and the players but we did enough to draw/win and the ref robbed us of an equaliser

It’s been a shit start to the season but all I see is a team lacking in confidence so booing and berating them ain’t gonna help

if Robins now feels the need to pander to the fans, some of whom are just fickle and short sighted, then he really does need to go.

The problem is X, I will do X to solve this problem

If he doesn't know what the problem is then he needs to go. That isn't unreasonable

I’m always surprised after a pretty dismal defeat that the players insist on getting too close to angry fans, some of which will vent. Just applaud from distance as an acknowledgment and get off.

I tend to agree with this.
Losing to a poor Preston side, especially as we are approaching the relegation zone you are likely to get some negative reaction. And that can start to build into a bigger us Vs them problem.
Robins should be experienced enough to have some common sense and manage the situation.
