3000 people travelling hundreds of miles on a Saturday morning is support for the team.
The individual players then let them down

I’m saying some of the fans that shout negativity or c**t all game need a mirror or dental hygiene before they throw stones. Why bother going if you hate our team so much?

Because they care.

That passion is why 3k people descend on a shithole like Preston early on a Saturday morning.

You can’t have it both ways

That's it, fans fault

Players and manager need to give the fans something to cheer about and get behind. At least when we were shit we had players who seemed to care and fight for the cause.

A clear minority though.

Everyone around me clapped them off. I felt weird standing and not clapping. People were arguably too positive.

There is no passion or fight but ultimately one man is held responsible and that's Robin's. Lose on Tuesday and he must be close to getting his P45.

Careful. You’ll get accused of not being a proper fan in a moment for jumping on the 67 promotion bandwagon.

Where were you when they were in Division 4?

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

It is not just a team lacking confidence thought is it? It’s also a team missing a style, missing an identity & missing leadership.

That isn't passion though.

Shouting "c**t" all game isn't showing passion..... its being a sad-arse twat.

If i was Robins and some disgusting pissed-up slob had a go at me, i'd stand my ground and have a go bck.

I know, I was there. It's just not clicking. I think we need Tats and Haji back on song. My biggest concern is unlocking Ellis Simms. If I was on the pitch, with his physique, I'd be knocking defenders about like nine pins. Watching him trudge towards people in 'closing down' is painful. He never gets in their face. It may be we aren't playing to his strengths, but the front line is a worry at the moment.

Seemed clear to me Robins wasn't the one getting the abuse. It was fully the players until Robins called it out.

A few things from today to add to one of the many threads on this. I thought I'd watch who would go over to the ref at full time, and Binks went over to him straight away to speak to him, followed by Dasilva. I think about 4 players shook his hand, the rest ignored him. Dreadful for us again.

But on the subject of the Lati/Robins thing, I think Robins just went over to back Lati up at the end. Lati probably shouldn't have got involved at the end in my opinion, nothing good is ever going to come from goading a dickhead who wants to shout at something. Glad the sky blue faithful backed Robins up with a rendition of there's only one Mark Robins after it happened though.

2 strikers if the way forward and I reckon we'll get a good run going soon.

Rob , you know my thoughts on Robins & now it’s getting to the point of no return.
This season has highlighted his total lack of knowledge towards setting a team up , spoilt by the money given to him & of course, HIS chosen players , too many , that he doesn’t know what to do with .
I’m just a mad skyblue , the Leeds performance was one to see Robins sacked , but he got away with it , today though & thank god we we’re playing a team equally as shite as us , but he’s the one the fans must start to realise IS to blame for these totally unacceptable performances & if Doug can’t afford to sack him ( which is another problem to add to our misery) then this is a relegation season!
