I agree with hound on this. You cannot boo, jeer and deride a player and expect him to perform his best and enjoy playing for you. Yes, Curtis Main may have been lacking in mental strength, in this day and age it's recognised that lots of people need some level of help to manage their mental health, but our fans were vile to him. He may have been shit, same goes for ATS, but the way some of our supporters behaved towards him was utterly terrible. Footballers are still human beings - I think when hundreds / thousands of people are rounding on you (from your own side) it would be very hard to maintain high self esteem and confidence. And then some people had the audacity to question why he wouldn't want to return from a successful loan spell at Oldham?!
Same goes for Etheridge.
