Monkey Man
Your support is not that great
Bottom line is, it's our club, not Gus's. I didn't boo, never have, but it was a clueless first half and on the back of a 6-0 we expected much better. What geed up the players for the second half? Maybe the realisation that the crowd were disappointed in what they'd seen?
Love our football style, love this season, never loved supporting Brighton so much. But as a person Gus can be hard to love. It's almost as if he tries to stay aloof from the fans - there's never any spontaneous acknowledgement of a vocal crowd. The players find it easy enough to praise the fans, why doesn't he?
The sentiment is "if you can't support us when we're losing, don't bother supporting us when we're winning". That's fine, but it cuts both ways. If you never bother praising your own supporters for travelling hundreds of miles, singing vocally and going out of their way to back their team, you're not entitled to moan on the one occasion a few of them boo you off for a dreadful performance that's led to a 2-0 half time deficit. Why was that the main thing in Gus's mind after yesterday's game? There were much bigger issues to discuss than that.
But no doubt I've missed the point entirely.
