This was said a few times, not sure why Bird seemed to have so much blind support as if he came through our academy and was truly "home grown", if he'd have been a foreign player god help him with the manager openly saying he wasn't following instructions or giving his all.

The pass from the goalkeeper is cr*p for sure, but Bird had more than one place he could have smashed the ball that wouldn't have resulted in it going in, it's partially bad luck but there's no need for him to kick it straight back towards goal
