And we'll look back fondly at literally being able to remember every goal we've scored.It tells a story, although at the end of the season points will be a better story

Gary has done enough to stay, I don't think he should be sacked in the immediate future - not that it would happen anyway
There have been some really decent results recently
I'm really struggling to get on board with the style, it kills SJP stone dead
Will keep turning up because... City

The crowd atmosphere has been like that for ages.Actually managed to get to a home game last night and our comment was that for a big crowd, the atmospehere was non-existent. At times it almost felt eerie. There was a moment early on when Derby nearly scored down our end and the crowd was just silent - no gasps or that moment of sound where you fear the worse. Weird. I did wonder if its because there seemed like a lot of "tourists" there last night and kids coming becuase it was half term. Made me hanker for the days of 3000 crowds in the Conf when at least everyone there seemed to be involved and bothered
Also, I agree the style is so slow and whilst for the first 20 minutes I get it, it was clear in that time period that Derby were happy to sit in, not worry about us scoring and then pick us off either on the break or when we give them the ball which then came to pass. Then, last 10 when the game is gone we're getting in crosses, having half chances - we can do it and do it at pace Gary, please just let them.......
And the last comment on the crowd, they were served up a (expected??) defeat and the fare wasnt great but there were no boos - although maybe that goes back to my earlier point about the crowd being a load of tourists....
There was a bloke in front of me who spent the entire second half choosing chairs on Ikea website. I missed the 2nd goal as was enthralled by how many dining chairs one guy needs!The crowd atmosphere has been like that for ages.
When we go into full blown coma football everyone stops watching the football and starts chatting to each other.
Agreed. Football is primarily an entertainment business and it's hard to claim fans have been entertained at SJP this season. Yes the diehards will undoubtedly renew their season tickets, but judging by the number of fans on the BB permanently on their phones throughout the second half, quite a few people are now just very bored with what is being served up on the pitch. Combine that with the cost of living issues and I expect a big drop off in ST sales next season.I'm not going to use last night as a stick to beat Caldwell with, the fact of the matter is sides like Derby should be beating us with what they have at their disposal - we were outclassed last night in my opinion.
However, it's ANOTHER home game without a goal scored. 10 goals in 17 matches is pathetic.
I'll buy a season ticket next season regardless but I'm expecting a drop off.
