Strange how you didn't think every supporter was a numpty in 2002 / 2003 when with very little money a squad was assembled that we all knew would struggle and we backed them to the hilt. Some of the best atmospheres i have experienced where in those 2 seasons when there was very little optimism in what the team would realistically be able to do.
Season before last we played Leeds with mainly youngsters out and got beat by 40 odd points but again they where backed to the hilt.
The current problems have been created by the board who have assembled on paper a world class side but have given them to much power to the point where they are dictating what the coach can and can't do. We realise that isn't all players but there are a few who are stopping this club progressing, you can see from the past 3 games that Jimmy Lowes doesnt have the players backing no matter how much they come out in the press and say that he does, he may have the support of some but not all.
The players will always take the brunt of the supporters feelings because they are the ones out on the park but most of us realise most of them are not at fault, most go in and do as they are told but they all should and those that aren't are letting the club down.
You will have a different view as you are looking at it from a similar view of the players, not all supporters are numptys who don't have a clue what is going on and spout rubbish though I accept that we have a few and some of them are on here.
Be careful not to bite the hand that feeds, it will eventually give up and stop laying out as we are already seeing and don't tar everyone with the same brush, a point I think you are guilty of at the moment.
