Didn't boo but there wasn't a lot to applaud. Should and could have been 3 up at half time and we could have easily been 3 down in the second half

Agree. We lost midfield and even though Im a huge  Mccann fan, he should have changed midfield quicker and not to what he did.

At least we got a point.

I wonder if McCann will mention this.

The other week it was wanting more fans.
Last week he wants to be a championship manager.
If he mentions the boo’s I think he is starting to get frustrated.

Thought the same. Also the piss poor attendance. What do people expect? We are already overachieving in this league. Finishing the league in this position would make for a very good season, far outperforming our budget.

A lot of people judge games on results. It’s really not a sport to be doing that with.

Absolutely ridiculous, would have thought we'd been hammered 5-0. Grant got it wrong for me today, but the boos were totally uncalled for.

But with performances like today, we wont be in this position for very long.

No i didnt boo, im not 1 for that, but i certainatly didnt feel like it was applause worthy either

Looking at the other clubs in this league, our budget will be bottom half and probably bottom quarter.

Burton, Northampton and Exeter likely trail us in budget, with Rovers maybe in a group of Lincoln, Port Vale and Mansfield.

We were shocking particularly second half so I sort of get some people venting frustration, wonder how many have been with us through thick and thin though

Boos were pathetic, no lack of effort at all or anything like that today. Why is it now boos if there's no win, it used to be boos for a really really bad run, then it became a loss now it appears to be anything but a win. Sad really.

The boos were for a pathetic second half. Nothing to do with the scoreline!

We were lucky to get a point in the end!

The booing at the end was pathetic. Worse thing is there was plenty doing it. More than enough that it’ll have been heard loud and clear by the players.

I dont boo. However i understand it based on that performance. 1 point from 12. Replacement front 3 awful. Everyone can see it. We got progressively worse.

Can someone tell me a time where we have made substitutions that have had a positive effect? I would love to know the logic of Close coming off alongside Gibson. Absolutely baffling.

Look lets not wrap them up in cotton wool. They have had fantastic support and will continue to be supported. Im sure they know it but that was unacceptable. I would hope it reminds them! On to the next one. Work to do

It just didn’t work at all today for Grant and his team selection, the subs I agree made us worse, however we all need to appreciate is that how many times in the past has his subs pulled us out of the brown stuff and won us games, he’ll get it right I’m sure about that, however I’ll keep saying it, he badly misjudged the striker situation in the summer ! Maybe that was budget constraints maybe it wasn’t, but booing our team I will never do !
Title: Re: Boos
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on October 04, 2025, 04:30:31 pm
I rarely feel the need to boo. But, I found myself booing at full time.

1. Because, when we have the upper hand, there's no reason why we should become so passive as a team, we should have the positivity and desire to go on to score goals two and three. That free kick in the last minute of the first half has to be a strike on goal. Why on earth do we try something fancy when it could be the last kick of the half. A couple of other free kick opportunities to keep them on the back foot and we play it short or square.
2. The collective capitulation which turned us from a reasonable league one standard of football to something not much better the level of10 year olds "Kick it, kick it" is unacceptable and a real concern about our mental strength.
3. The wholesale subs seemed to be more of a desperate move rather than trying to keep what was working while giving us an extra edge. Whilst I wouldn't blame the subs individually, we collectively nosedive as a unit.

McCann has to take a degree of responsibility for allowing the most basic of mental errors to happen when there were opportunities to nip them in the bud. For letting an opposition team off the hook when we had the upper hand and have every reason to keep plugging away even when missing glorious chances.

I don't agree with you booing, but I do agree with pretty much everything else.

I don’t think booing your own team is ever acceptable tbh. Leave quietly without making a fuss maybe or waiting to applaud the team off the pitch if you’re not happy.

We are just so wasteful in front of goal at the moment. Mols and Billy's dragged shots are a case in point. We aren't making keepers make saves. 15 shots and only 3 on target today tells us everything we need to know.

People slagging off McCann for the lineup are just wrong.
The first half we could easily have been 3-4 nil up at half time.
Missing chances has nothing to do with the starting lineup, the lineup was spot on and dominated the whole first half.

I agree. It is possible to think that and also think that his substitutions were poor in the second half though.

The only player I would not have selected is Sbarra  apart from that the starting selection was okay and as Dickos says we should have been 3  0 up at halftime. The finishing was poor and must improve
The whole sale subs is wrong, initially we should have changed Sbarra for Broadbent not go hung ho

It's alright saying we could have been 3 or 4 up but we weren't.
It's alright saying we dominated the whole first half but a game is 2 halves.
It was a home game against a bottom side that we should have won, and didn't. We need to stop the rot.

Grant is generous in his praise of fans. More than some merit when it comes to a few defeats, it is always the minority who shout the loudest and do the most damage to morale.

So fans are not allowed to boo now, so are you all saying the players should have been cheered off at the end of a very poor second half performance.
I could attend due to illness, but felt a lot worse having watched it on tv, it was a very hard watch.
I do find some of Grants selections to be very questionable. It was obvious we had to start Ben, yet we sacrificed Broadbent, whilst including Sabarra. He is a great guy, but seems L1 is out of is depth. Would have been ideal opportunity to have played Close and Broadbent with Owen pushing into the 10 role.

I don't think anyone's said fans aren't allowed to boo. Some people don't necessarily support it, some do. No-one's said it shouldn't be allowed though.

We live in a democracy (just) and  of course you can boo..if you do, ask yourself am  i contributing to my club. Professional players or not , these guys have feelings and surely were here to SUPPORT our team.  I've seen and heard things inside and outside the the ground which make me question humanity nevermind Donny fans. Can't we all try to be more positive if only foot the sake of our club.

Completely missing the point,

We’re discussing the lineup being wrong, it wasn’t we should’ve been 3-0 up at half time, the fact we weren’t had nothing to do with the starting line up

I thought we were discussing "Boos" as in the title, not necessarily the line up or any other aspect that cause fans to boo.
The simple fact is that it was a game we should have won, and no matter why we didn't, the fans have the right to show their disappointment, the same a cheering off the players when we win.
