we had ZERO yes ZERO shots on target
Sorry, is that anything like having no shots at all on target in an entire game ?

True but we really didnt want to lose and we didnt, we werent great at creating much but then we were superb defensively, especially Duffy who was my man of the match, we would have been better playing them last week without the gaze of the new contract decider they had in

as I said earlier a lot of people are missing the point. The booing was not about the players performance (IMO) but was about the negative and defensive tactics and the way we play square and backwards with almost zero attacking.

we were at home against a team in poor form, below us in the table and once again (according to the BBC statistics) we had ZERO yes ZERO shots on target. That cannot be acceptable even to any rose tinted supporters
The tactics have been like that for the last 3 1/2 years so it shouldn't have been a surprise.

Exactly. In an hour and a half of football, as the home team, against a frankly poor side, we didn't manage to work their keeper even once. I don't think that is acceptable TBH. I didn't boo at the final whistle, but I DID feel very cheesed off.

and this type of negativity at home results in poor atmosphere and will eventually lead to lower attendances.

Its not like it all the time. In fact when we do play 2 or 3 up front we are capable of winning more games.

Remind me, how much have the attendances drop so far since our negative manager has been with us?

If we were more positive but losing would we have higher attendances? I think not.

I agree with you Richard Duffy was also my man of the match he has been in places in the right time to make crucial tackles to save us. The last couple games he has quality and progressing. Yes the we played rubbish and didnt creat enough chances but 1 point is better than none, all we can do now is get the confidence up high for the next game.

Please do me the honour of actually reading my post 'will eventually lead to....'

And when did I say Tis had always been this negative?

I agree with most of what you say but I believe members of our ilk are wasting our time on here.
