    Today’s Home Supporters

    We were very much behind the team with good support from all stands, particularly first half. Defensively solid, maybe ‘overkill’ to avoid another early goal concession. Unfortunate not to score, hitting the post and their keeper saving well, rewarded with decent applause at the end of the first half.
    As the second half progressed, we deteriorated and Luton pressed. Early substitutions necessary (Livermore and Philips) but no sign from Bruce.
    Eventually, and in my opinion much overdue, changes are made but Asante and Grady (and Philips) replaced ? The former two had both given 100% and been subject to some strong tackles and fouls….an immediate crowd reaction understandably turning aggressive and hammering Bruce, calling for his dismissal.
    I can only assume both Asante and Grady were injured ? But late to make the changes in any event.
    Full time booing was sadly inevitable

    Hi, Bruce has just said that both Asante and Grady had taken bad knocks and had run themselves into the ground.

    Cheers soulman buddy. I guess that explains his choice. I wish he had reacted earlier though.

    Apathy seems to be like a disease at our club. Even today on radio stations fans were saying at least we looked solid etc blah blah.Bruce ain’t going anywhere and there’s nowt we can do. Don’t let us be an impotent fan base , let’s keep pressure on Gourlay liar etc.I’m in Portugal and so pissed off . Feel despair myself to be honest. How have we got here.

    Without a win today, it was all going to be under the microscope.
    We no doubt have to await the next match.
    A sorry state of affairs

    Good assessment Prando, can’t lack the effort just the quality and coaching.

    We have the most compliant, easily lead, non confrontational fans in the country.

    Oh for the Woking days when they knew how to rebel.

    Too many now afraid to lose their favourite season ticket spot if they refuse to renew.

    People need to understand the reality of the situation and to find the resolve to stay at home until Lai goes.

    It won’t make an iota of difference going to the matches, we will finish where we finish regardless.

    I am amazed the crowds are as big as they are.

    I read somewhere that today’s attendance was about 21,000, it didn’t look like that on the TV, there were lots of empty seats!
