It might as well be at Sixfields with that crowd, can't blame the fans after the World Cup.

IncorrectWell there you go!
In the last 12 months England have beaten 3 other nations. Cyprus, Moldova & Norway (on a penalty - but they all count!?)
Impressive stuff eh?

Poor crowd? How do you come to that conclusion. Rough average attendances for friendly & competitive home games from the last 5 years.
Spain 38,000
Germany 51,000
Holland 48,000
Portugal 30,000
Italy 31,000
Belgium 41,000
France 62,000
Russia 15,000
England 80,000
If you just count friendlies, England and France's both drop by around 10%. Meanwhile the rest drop by as much as half.

Yes...& 40000 is ermm...1/2 of that average 80000 you quoted. So it was a shit gate!

Roy Hodgson has launched a spiky and impassioned defence of his England players, arguing they do not deserve the criticism that is coming their way and accusing the media of exaggerating the team’s deficiencies in light of what happened in the World Cup.
*****
Welbeck came on and showed his potential, so there were a lot of good things but the bottom line is this: before the World Cup, with all the euphoria, we were getting 75,000 people to see us play Peru. Now we have 40,000 to see us play against a much more difficult opponent. I can’t put that right because I can’t turn the clock back, but what I can do is analyse what I have seen and judge that through my eyes and not because someone is telling me: ‘Well, you had only two shots at goal’ because, for me, that is absolute fucking bollocks, I’m sorry.
