What I saw really surprised me, disappointed me even more. No I'm not talking about what went down on the pitch (we never got going, it happens sometimes in football) I'm on about the reaction of a section of fans to the defeat. To hear the same players who have been getting such fantastic results getting booed because they had an off day really shocked me. This is the same bunch of lads, the same manager that were a conceded late equaliser away from being top of League One a couple of weeks back. From pre-season relegation favourites and being written off by everyone (including me) to being in a playoff slot is some effort. In my world it gives you plenty of credit in the bank, easily enough so that when a dodgy performance DOES eventually arrive, you DON'T get booed off.
Anyway, maybe it just me. As for the game itself, like I say we never really got going. On the plus side Aaron Sasu was excellent & deservedly won man of the match in the stadium. Once he gets confident enough to properly go for it each time he gets the ball, I mean go both ways, have shots etc, he'll be some weapon. It was handy to get a game into Joe Lewis's legs, other than that it didn't have much going for it. Aside from perhaps Craig Cope noticing their 20 in midfield who I thought was excellent, the 7 up top & the baldy midfielder not far behind him, it was a day to forget.
The booing though? We're better than that. Johnnie and the players have every right to feel a bit aggreived by that in my opinion.
