Yeah, agreed. The players have to take some responsibility for that. First half after first 10-15 they were just off the pace and lacked intensity. Once they upped the tempo the fans got involved
That makes no sense really. Bristol City was best atmosphere all season for me.
Forest and Peterborough also excellent, and the number of home fans for both those games about the same as yesterday. How can there be bandwagonners when the numbers don't really vary all that much game to game, all the way back to opening day?
What about when we were at nil all? our fans got behind the team earlier in the season when behind?
Were we not 5-0 down at Luton and still getting behind the team?
Never understood the “fans had nothing to get behind” mentality.
I didn't think the atmosphere was too bad until we went 1-0 down. But West Brom pressed us into mistakes on the pitch and their fans were pretty impressive. I do think there has been a drop off in atmosphere in recent weeks though that's undeniable.
Away atmosphere is a completely different topic and means nothing when talking about home crowds. Easier to drum up an atmosphere away from home especially with a smaller allocation.
I think it's been consistently brill up until Saturday but understandably less so due to the emotions of the day .more background buzz chatter type stuff in the quieter spells.
