Certain fans attend matches with the premeditated intention of protesting ‘Fenty Out’ on a large banner. Like the OP states, now is not the time for this. We are in extreme danger of relegation and we need to be united in our support for the team. Our time to air any grievances will come, IMO it’s not now. UTFM
We have passed the point of no return I reckon. We have supported them through thin and thin for years - 800 went to Cambridge today after 12 games without a win in the bottom tier! The club have brought all this on themselves, and as a huge fan I hope we escape relegation but whatever I do from now on will not make a jot of difference.

Not entirely sure that grown-ups need to be told what to do. Due to long-standing plans, we won't be there next Saturday and, to be frank, I'm not bothered. Radio will be on but I'm resigned to relegation. Slade & Fenty have sucked my enthusiasm for GTFC out of me due to their rank incompetence. Fexit is now as imperative as Brexit - and it can't come too soon.

We will survive this season thanks to how bad Morecambe, Chesterfield and Barnet are. It is next season that concerns me. We desperately need someone to invest in the Club or the writing is on the wall.

RCA - Red Cross Alert.
I agree with Bigdog. The greater cause must be the priority ie EFL survival. I heard it suggested today that relegation might be the best way to start again and rebuild. I didn’t think so at the time and after further reflection I definitely do not think that is the way. Deep down I think everybody wants to stay up and whatever armoury we’ve got has to stay together at the very least during games. The time for rucks, rants, despair, anger, arguments, debates, protests, etc should be put on hold for 90 minutes a week. Today was ugly at times and the vast majority whilst gutted and genuinely worried were also embarrassed.

I agree, but it won't happen. Too many people are too fed up, and i've seen normally mild mannered, balanced fans, seething with anger at games. The more vocal fans are going to make themselves heard, whether we agree with it or not. It's up to the players to rise above it and perform, because that is the only thing that will shut some fans up.

oh i can easily..... i dont think i abuse players aside from the odd groan and FFS when they do something disappointing anyway.... but with this current crop virtually none of them register on my radar..... i feel pretty much zero allegiance to any of them such has been the turnover of players and managers in the last 18 months or so... from a passionate , proud , beaming supporter at Wembley to an apathetic one now.
Well done the board, Bignot, the board, Slade, the board.
Roll on next season when hopefully the board and players have been replaced.

Hopefully Village Green away in the last game won't be a repeat of Burton in 2010. As for the OP question we don't need to worry about the next 12 games we just need to win 1 or 2 and the pressure would be right off. We'll probably (I hope) playing totally meaningless games in a few weeks and the new manager will be like Slade was last year, just planning for the close season.

That sort of thing is long overdue. I will be getting behind the players, but I'm sure the players won't be put out if the board get a bit of stick. Probably deflects grief from the players.

One thing is certain that we must win our home games against Barnet, Chesterfield and Port Vale,
Otherwise we will be in deep poo poo,
I hope our new manager can instil a bit of passion in the team to do this,
Then we will be safe.
