That’s some niche porn but whatever helps you get over the disappointment of defeat, I suppose.
The point is DA picked Andrews to play. DA watched the same match as we all did, and yet subbed Thompson. If people need to have a pop, go at DA he had the overall power of change. Ask him why he allowed Andrews to stay and Thompson to go. As an aside, on some sites Andrews got a better appraisal than Wilson, Hume, Mullarkey, Clifton, and Cartwright who was marked up as worst. And yet the vitriol is aimed at Andrews, who in my view had an off day, but doesn't deserve this anger. Just because people can vent their spleen and spice up their non-existant useless/pointless lives by bad-mouthing a young player, doesn't mean they have to and we should allow it.

Anyway, if Maher can't play Artell-ball and we stay up, I don't see him here next season based on this season's form.

i thought Andrews had his best game for us today maybe he’s getting up to speed with league two. We must play Pyke up front with Rose far better than Wilson.

Thompson was absolutely copulated.

Because Maher has been silent for the last two months when we’ve been getting hammered most weeks and putting in abject performances. One scrappy win against the second worst team in the country and he’s claiming the critics have been silenced. The irony being that Andrews was abysmal yesterday, twice as likely to lose possession as he was to retain it. I’m all for players sticking up for each other but turning on the fans who, in the main, have kept turning up to support them despite them not deserving it shows that his decision making off the pitch is as bad as it is on the pitch.

Jesus pal...honestly?...Pyke has no pace, can't play with his back to the game or hold the ball up, everything that Wilson can do. As for Andrews, yes he's a young lad but I have never, ever seen a midfielder shirk challenges as much as him, at least 4 times yesterday he bottled 50/50s

Who really cares? It’s a bit boring going on social media winding the players up then spreading their reactions all over the place .

Amazed that I've read some criticism of Wilson today. Thought he did really well feeding off nothing but scraps and held it up well when it actually came in to him.

I'm gonna keep it a buck fifty here..
Maher has been shite this year and Andrews is a young player but also hasn't been good enough hence our league position.
Maher taking a swipe at the fans is pathetic and uncalled for especially after the Shite we've seen this season, maher has been shite too and in all honesty he needs to move on in the summer.
So, it's OK for fans to be "critical" of players (and critical is being kind) but the players can't be critical of fans? Seems to me that people shouldn't dish it out if they can't take it.

I don’t think Andrews has been great but here’s the thing for me if he was “one of our own” maybe the ferocity of the criticism wouldn’t be as high. He’s a young kid in his first season so it’s not going to work perfectly.
On Maher he’s a bit of a sausage really as there’s different ways to back your team mates on social media than biting the hand that feeds you.
As long as it’s not personal or offensive supporters who pay to support the club/team have a right to an opinion based upon what they see and what they’ve seen most of this season has been poor.
Of course it's right to criticise players but there are better ways than calling them " shite" , " get rid in the summer" ie sack him. I'm sure a lot of these keyboard warriors if exposed to that kind of criticism would react with many more expletives and abuse. I was brought up to treat people like I would want them to treat me but obviously that is outdated,, judging by quite a few posters on here.
