Haha, okay, harsh, and needed an explanation but I see where you're coming from. I'd say you could put forward a compelling case for apathy, but none of the others.

Centre half he was classy. But I could never understand why he would never win headers (as a Striker!) until the last ten games of the season or the final year of his contract. McAllister was worse for me - a four year contract, shit for the first year, okay in the second, injured for the...

Yeah, of course they would. Look, I'm not saying conclusively that there is a definitive cause and effect, just that there is correlation and I'm interested to watch it develop. If you ever go to Sixfields, it's remarkable how little negativity there is. Compare that to The Ricoh and...

Yeah I always thought Dublin and McAllister were massively over rated for us too. (Although I realise I'm in the minority here). Both had one good year for us before their contract ran down and then went elsewhere!

I love a good atmosphere at games, but if I was the only person in the crowd (and I don't sing) and we played well and got three points. I'd be happy. But regardless of that, our normal atmosphere at home games has been full of boos, negative comments, chanting for our own players to be sent...

Did you mean to quote me on this Astute? Can't see the connection with what I was saying and what you're saying.

I always thought he was shite. I'll never forget the 97 season v Derby when he jogged back against their winger and almost sent us down!

Okay, that's conclusive then is it? Debate over? I'm not saying it's fact, I'm just saying that for a long time we've had A LOT of fans who've jumped on the backs of players, and the team at every opportunity, and now, at home games, we don't and it's worth monitoring whether this has affect...

I don't understand your lobotomy comment. Your statement was a misinterpretation of what the fans at Sixfields have been saying about the atmosphere, but I'll take back enlighten as obviously it's riled you (which wasn't my intention). And finding 'an excuse' in what I said is a stretch.

'We all dream of a team of Gary Breen's'

Well it's not a positive. But what could be argued is a positive is that there is no-one berating the players at all, and perhaps (although it remains to be proven) this has a greater effect on the performance of a player than 15,000 fans who are likely to explode into a series of boos at half...

That's the point Uwe's making but I was enlightening RPHunt on the point he was making about it being how the home fans like it.

Any songs that make your blood boil when you hear them? Mine: 'Your support is fucking shite' Only ever sung by the losing/smaller team. Whenever I hear this on TV I know exactly which team's fans are singing it. 'He does what he wants...etc' (not to be confused with 'He scores when he...

Yes.

RPHunt, I think the point is that there is no negativity, not that there is a brilliant atmosphere that everyone revels in.

I'm not talking about last season, I'm talking about this season - they barely mustered thirty games between them last season, which makes this season's form all the more incredible. They have more than 'filled in'. They have become first choice and have dominated games in a way that I have...

Fine to form an opinion on a game but it needs to be acknowledged that it's an opinion on one game on not on the season. I can accept that Thomas, Fleck, Clarke had an off day yesterday (I wasn't there so I'll have to) but clamouring to replace them I can't accept because they have been...

And didn't Pressley resort to Plan B when he threw Manset on for Thomas AS SOON as we went behind? A massive feature of this season has been Pressley's decision making at crucial periods of the game. Plucking three off the top of my head: Gillingham Manset on for Baker and going three...

It's exhausting being a Cov fan. Thomas, Fleck, and Jordan Clarke have been OUTSTANDING this season. Yes. OUTSTANDING. Integral to the way we play. We attack and defend as a unit, this is what is so brilliant to watch about us and allows us to soak up pressure and sustain it for long...

Not having a go PUSBccfc, just letting you know. Murph might have heard you but I didn't. Might be different with more people but I think you need to test it out first
