As usual I was at the game yesterday and this is not intended as a rant at some posters who were there however a lot of people up and left after Tranmere scored and booed on the way down the steps, I stayed until the end as always and applauded the players and sung for them the whole 90 minutes.

The point of this is things are already bad enough without turning your back on the Club and it's players, you pay all that money to go to Football Matches and then piss off early and boo on your way down, morale is low, we have no strikers, no one is commanding on the pitch and the off-field matters are a mess, but the lads for the best part of this season have gave it everything I don't the opinions of those who boo and I would ask everyone who does to stop.

The one shinning light this season has been Steven Pressley and the players, we always knew we could hit a rough patch but if we stick together and show our committed and undivided support we will come through the other side.

Together We Stand, Divided and we will be Conquered.

Well said - the one thing worst than struggling in League One is that every setback is put down to SISU/ACL/CCFC/former owners/the FL - delete according to preference. It's easy to blame others but football is a series of matches, not a soap opera with villains and heroes.

I don't ever boo the team. I don't go to Sixfields because I disagree with SISU's actions in dragging us there. But if I did go, I wouldn't boo the team. The owners? Now, that's a different matter.

Have to agree with you.

I've never left a game early and never booed the team regardless. I must admit to not clapping them off on occasions though.

I have never left early. I have never booed my own players.

But I can understand how people are getting frustrated with the way our club is being run. Wasting time and money when you know that the odds are we will lose. Playing games without a striker FFS.

We are looking like we are in a relegation battle. The lower down the table we go the worse it will get.

The thing is Astute everyone is frustrated with the way the Club is run and unfortunately it does take its toll, but we have been really unlucky with our strikers since Callum Wilson got injured and that's not the fault of the way the Club is run its just outright bad luck. The manager said we have to find other ways to win and he is right.

The problem is people booing and leaving with us 3-0 down are the same people calling for the managers head and they genuinely don't have a clue, if the last year has taught me anything as a supporter of this Club it's that we need to stand together and support the lads donning the shirt, that wasn't what happened yesterday at 3-0.

I have to admit, I got a little downhearted when we went 3-0 and I did et out a few boos towards Thomas and Clarke, but I applauded at the end and kept on signing cus they tried their best and that's all that counts

robbo fans pay their hard earned cash so if they want to boo that's their perogative it's just a way of showing their frustration at the shocking situation at our club that seems to be god forbid getting worse.

The thing is though Thai yesterday's performance had nothing to do with the owners, you can't blame them for us getting spanked like that.

it does boil down to sisu, Fisher said Pressley would have a competitive squad, absolute cobblers, as is being proven.

Shame that we are the only supporters that Boo and leave early when we are losing.
I have never left early have got there late a few times.
This is the face of football doesn't matter who you support.
Just pisses me off how fellow supporters make out we are the only club with this problem?

Every game has booing going on and yes it is usually by the fans of the losing team.

It does not, in January we signed 3 strikers, Slager, Delfounseo and Donnelly, Delfounseo got injured that's bad luck, Wilson was already injured that wasn't good, Slager was homesick that's unfortunate and Donnelly fucked off. It's not the owners fault luck hasn't been on our side with our transfer business..

I never said we are the only club but let's be honest is it helping? Did it help McSheffery last season? Booing doesn't help that's my point.

robbo i respect your support of the club, but wake up mate "it is the owners fault ", they don't give a shit about the team, they just want the ground/ land to flog and please their investors.

For us being in League One is their fault, as with us being at Northampton and so forth, you can't blame them for each defeat.

Wow that is some statement - we started the season with 2 recognised forwards, one was sold, the other has been injured, lots of unheard of strikers came and went, Fonz has got injured is unlucky the Arsenal player going home is poor management - has everything to do with SISU's management of the club low cost chaotic squad management most clubs have at least 4 strikers to be called upon. The loan market ensures we loose control on the type of player we can recruit.

Left with 30 seconds to go deliberately to avoid clapping the team with the exception of Fonz QPR boy and murph - the rest were so sub standard, thought the subs did well at raising the tempo of a lacklustre performance. I believe the apathy is a direct result of the club's lack of direction again at SISU's door.

Couldn't help but adapt a few lyrics based on thread title....sorry...

Yesterday, all our troubles seemed so far away
Ricoh looked like it was here to stay
Oh, we believe in yesterday

Suddenly half times not quite what it used to be
There's a hill hanging over me.
Oh, Ricoh exit came suddenly

Why we had to go we don't know Tim wouldn't say
Did we do something wrong, now we long for yesterday

Yesterday, football was such an easy game to play
Now we need a place to play
Oh, we believe in yesterday

Why we had to go we don't know Tim wouldn't say
Anne said something wrong?, now we long for yesterday

Yesterday, Football was such an easy game to play
Now we need a place to play
Oh, we believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm...

"Lots of unheard of strikers came and went" So no one heard of the name Chris Maguire, Matheiu Manset and Chris Dagnall beforehand?

Leon was sold, but he forced his move rather than we pawn him off.

The loan market was all that was available at this moment we aren't going to pick up a player on the out of contract list.

Sisu have funded us bringing players in, once the players step over the white line it's all on them.

You've said in previous posts that having ( hungry ) young kids playing for us is a positive , Presley as a manager ,is a positive . You also do not want to blame the owners for our present predicament . For the first time ever I left the ground 10 mins early yesterday and watched the second half of the rugby in the pub up the road . Who do you blame for where we are ? The Judd's lane gipsy curse?

McGuire is not a striker, Dagnall I had heard of before but the Norwich player, Slagar Rory I have never heard of but the point is we didn't have players from the start of the season that were ours because SISU haven't funded the team contrary to what they said, we have played too many games without an effective strikeforce. I'm sure there were players to buy with the Leon proceeds but chose not too.

A team of young players no recognised stiker and loanees has its limits as shown by yesterday's performance.

Disagree. The players did the best they could but they are simply not good enough. They certainly do not have the confidence or ability to hold the ball and play out of defence as SP wants them to play. So you can deduce that the players provided to SP by SISU are not adequate enough for his needs. Simply, indirectly it is their fault.

In addition if you suggest that non attendance at Sixfields has a direct influence on player purchases then that also is a decision that SISU made for whatever reason.

there was a text on cwr blaming the low attendances, or more so blaming those that don't go.

But surely even if we sold out the 7k or whatever the shed is, we are still 3,000 paying customers down from last season? so less income anyway?

Wilson was injured on 1st January and we did nothing about replacing him. It left us with hoping Moussa or Daniels or Clarke could fill in. He should have been replaced. Other clubs can get players so so can we if the owners are supporting the club as you say they are

Plus they are charging less to compensate for travelling. No sponsors.
It was a decision they made for themselves not the club.

Jesus christ, does every thread have to turn into the same boring SISU argument by the same boring people trotting out the same boring lines?

This is genuinely an on the field discussion that didn't need to go down that path.

Is it not a circle of events though?

Losing 2 30 goal strikers + Lack of investment = small/average squad = Losing = Relegation battle = more good players leaving?

Heads in the sand or would some of us like to have the odd discussion on here which isn't about the same thing debated in all the other threads?

Debating it becomes boring when:
a) We're all just effectively copy and pasting what we said yesterday or the day before
b) you could easily debate in one of the other SISU-centric threads
