Chris Mills Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I'm more angry at our fans. 1-0 up and come out at half time and our support is silent. You can blame the players all you like but I don't see our fans backing the team. Didn't hear a whisper from the majority of the south stand for most of the second half even when we were ahead. It's embarrassing. I honestly think it's a huge contributing factor to some of our poor performances at home. I don't know for certain but I reckon we have taken more points away than at home and our home crowd isn't helping that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaming the fans is a cop out because the reason we lost is because we can't defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 You are right. The fans should back the team no matter what just like we did in the prem even when we were getting battered every week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaming the fans is a cop out because the reason we lost is because we can't defend. Knew this comment would come. We weren't cheering when Forest kicked off in the 45th minute... We hadn't even touched the ball yet in the second half and there was no noise. Don't be so ridiculous. We had a great half, the players come out again and it's like a morgue.

JoetheRam Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Yeah our support was gash today, particularly second half. Thought it was good all round from the players and ok from the fans in the first half, but second was a total horrorshow. We were poor on and off the pitch second half.

condor Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 It's not fair blaming 33000 fans who paid to see a game. When it was 8 players on the pitch at didn't offer anything. Your argument is rather condescending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what you want to see from our team then. 1-0 up at half time against our rivals the place should be rocking. I think we played well in the first half.

Cam the Ram Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Yeah it's the fans fault the players decided to hoof the ball at every opportunity, let Forest have as much of the ball as they want and fail to deal with set pieces. Why wasn't Nick the Flagman clearing that free kick for their first goal? Poor play from him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say they have no bearing on results, but today regardless of how loud we were, the defence and midfield was still going to play ****. Us signing loud wouldn't have instructed the players to keep hold of the ball rather than hoof it straight back to them, the manager/captain needed to do that and clearly they didn't (Or the players didn't listen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that we can do our part sometimes and our home support really just isn't that good. It instils confidence in the players have the crowd behind them. I'm not saying that we would have gone on to win the game 8-0, but it would certainly have made a difference. Maybe we would have lost 2-1 still, but at least you would have backed our team all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike93rh Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 you could tell absolutely everyone connected with Derby were so so nervous second half. This is where fans need to pipe up and make a racket, get it through to the team that they need to up their game, not have 30 odd fans at the back sing about Bryson and his f**king haggis. You could hear a pin drop in the South stand second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
