Agree with what Hurst said re:the fans.
How could anyone think sarcastically cheering Macca catching the ball would help him, or help the team? And cheering Tomlinson going off, who had actually played well, what goes through people's heads when they do these things?

Christ on a bike, Tomlinson didn't run off three of JPs knock downs, missed three sitters and huffed and puffed for 70 minutes which is 20 minutes than Lenny used to. He's paid as a striker, strikers strike, he doesn't!

JT clearly understands what this means to us not only with his questions to PH but his comments to Dave Burns afterwards. I think JT is a Town fan despite the BBC having to be unbiased.
Though I am not sure PH is completely wrong in that we need to stick together I think he is losing touch and an understanding of how much it hurts Town fans to be where we are. He may be "just happy to be here" but we are not.
I agree BP can be pretty negative at times but it will feel even worse if the manager alienates the fans and that will get over to the players. Remember we pay our money and we are entitled to an opinion however ill informed people may think it is.
Away from that decent result that puts us in touch and a well done to Nathan Arnold who I am ure every Town fans regardless of opinion was pleased to see do well tonight,

Tomlinson is the new Robinson. No matter how he plays, unless he's scoring every game, there will be muttering from a section of the crowd that he shouldn't be in the team. You could hear it from some of the crowd today when he let the ball slip under his foot (on the very wet pitch) early on.
In the 'Just back' thread, one or two have gone as far as to say he is rubbish though he actually put in a decent performance and was much the better of the starting forwards today. He's on a hiding to nothing, I'm afraid.
Not heard Hurst's interview as yet so it will be interesting to hear exactly what he says. It is almost unbelievable that a lot of the crowd were cheering sarcastically when our keeper caught the ball after his earlier blunder, especially when his confidence has been down this season.

Moved seats at half time. But most people around me at both locations thought Tomlinson was poor tonight. As did I.

This seems to be the nature of this forum at the moment - we win and people will still have a go at PH and the team - we lose and the forum becomes throwing insults at each other and everyone becoming the best tacticians that no qualified manager knows anything about - believe me anyone on here that would be put into PH's and the teams position this Saturday would literally crawl into a big hole,because they would be to worried about the 'Fishy' reaction - let's get behind PH and the team at least until Christmas - then maybe we could judge - but believe me this team will only improve - and if it doesn't then put yourself forward but I can guarantee you'll not be manager of GTFC - Let's just get behind PH and the lads UTM!!

Just listened, was expecting him to lambast the fans, in the end think he was relatively fair. Kept stressing that it is a minority but agree with him that any fans sarcastically applauding Mckeown should be ashamed, that is very poor!
Think he wants that unity we felt when we were on a roll last season and over the summer back, so he wants us fans onside which is good, just hope he realises that it will come with good performances, good results, and honesty with the fans regarding odd team selections.
Wish though he could of focused on the fact that Arnold clearly had a blinder and we have 3 very winnable games in row that could get us on that roll instead of the negative though.
