You're the one who's brain dead if you think a few posts on here or groans at the ground will make the difference between us winning the league or not.
And there's another thread on the same topic which I'm merging this with.
Do you think a player who is having a drop in form or who is struggling to adjust to life in the Prem is more likely to improve with encouragement from his supporters or having to listen to some muppet telling him he's shit, and every bad pass he makes get booed. Will not improved individual performances help us win the league ?
I think that the majority of fans do support the players. Were you at Sunderland yesterday? If you were you wouldn't have heard any booing or abuse. But if players take the wrong option or play stupid balls then there'll be a reaction. Always has been and always will be.
I agree that booing players coming on or cheering ironically when players get subbed is not right. I certainly don't agree with singling players out for abuse like Richard Edghill was.
But I also think that players know when they've been poor and that they don't need us to tell them. It's up to them to put it right.
