No but fans in numbers getting behind them may raise their confidence....having said that, it never happened at Ricoh. Our fans boo which clearly helps...
I think initially for the players it was a relief for the players not to be playing in front of the big crowds, however I think it is now starting to effect them in a negative effect.
could be.
i just hope they want to play in front of 6500 cov fans this saturday
Am thinking that when the going has gotten tough, such as past two 'home' games, there isn't enough support at sixfields to create the 'twelfth man' to raise the players, as someone has already alluded to it seems it it now having an effect on performances....
That or the youngsters are burnt out
Worked brilliantly in front of 32k at the Ricoh. It's another blip. We miss chances and get punished. End.
Wish people would stop trying to play the "lack of home support" card because I for one don't buy it at all! Like previous posts have said, it wasn't an issue when we were putting goals past teams week in week out. Teams will have a dip during the season due to fatigue and also other teams working out how to combat certain threats as the surprise factor has gone.
On the fatigue side, it is obvious there is a lack of quality backup within the squad - especially CB and upfront in my personal opinion.
As for the tactical side, these are the times a manager will truly prove their worth. So SP.... its over to you
But back to my original point - Current dip is nothing to do with the attendances.
That is because there was only 11 fans there! The 12th man must have been on the hill.

So the low crowd was suiting the players when we were winning because of less pressure and no 'boo boys' (though that doesn't appear to hold water anymore) but now we're playing badly those same fans who werebenefitting the team because they weren't there to get on players backs, are now whats missing... Sorry I don't buy it. It's a team on a hopefully short term blip which could do with a freshen up in defence going off what I read. Cya all Saturday
