We are all rightly unhappy with the current run of results and yesterday was yet another game of calamitous defending coupled with poor finishing as well as being unlucky on several occasions having recorded more shots on target than ICT. This does not excuse some of the verbals from a handful of individuals towards the players which was frankly disgusting from so called supporters. There was one numpty behind me who spent the entire first half abusing each and every player when they got the ball regardless of the quality of the resultant play until he was eventually silenced by true supporters and then sulked off to the terracing at half time. For the record they were wearing a red and black checked lumberjack shirt if anyone wants to own up. No one can condone Martin's gesture, which I did not see, but again the abuse is not called for as we should be encouraging and cajoling, which did happen in the second half, the players especially during this dismal run and the players can hear this dogs abuse so what do you think it does for their confidence. They are not going out to make errors which cost us but it only exposes their limitations playing at our level. That may be the last time we see Martin again as a result of this and have thrust young Jack into the limelight at this difficult time when he has come in for his share of the verbals in the past.
For those intent in this type of behaviour why come along in the first instance or is it they take pleasure at gloating at our current situation because if that is the case then we can do without them even if it does further impact on the crowd and takings but at the moment we need the "fans" to get fully behind the team because by continuing to abuse the players will just further erode their fragile confidence, clearly evident in the first half, which will guarantee our relegation and probably move to part time football. Is that what some want???
