Home support not too impressed with Wilkins and Forster....(discuss)

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Maybe if Wilkins spent the first half on the bench and kicked out his fat worthless cronies?

Maybe if Forster proved he could lead the line without the dubious skills of Comedy Bas?

Don't need any lectures from these people cheers.

Maybe lecture the hundred odd thousand catchment area of Brighton & Hove that DON'T turn out for a puerile nnety minutes worth of 'entertainment' in exchange for twenty five quid (aka half a days work on minimum wage) of our hard-earned UK currency.

Or maybe keep your gobs shut?

 

[Da Man Clay]

Agree with the first point. The second one though I think Forster is leading the line well enough, just lacking a goal - still the best player we own however.

I think they have a point actually, the home support is shite.

The home "support" is shite. They have a perfectly valid point.

 

[bristolseagull]

the players are shite- THPP has a valid point too.

 

[n1 gull]

Home support has always been shite, unless the team are playing decent football.
If it was great at the Withdean we wouldn't want a new stadium so badly.

I was disappointed with the comments, if they played a bit better the crowd would be better, simple as that. When has this mythical '12th' man ever scored a goal.

I think they should be looking for the solution in the dressing room, not the roofless, soul-less stands.

Just score a few goals tomorrow and I promise you I'll be cheering me head off.

Easy to have a pop at the dwindling numbers who actually went to the game. As opposed to the huge numbers that stayed away. How short-sighted is that? And no offense but for very large parts of the first eightly minutes, only a happy-clappy retard would have got wholeheartedly behind the team. It's a two-way thing. Applause has to be EARNT.

Players come from other clubs, and they have travelled the grounds of Britain - so if they say our home supporters are not the best (aka shit), then they ought to know.

There's no absolute 'rights' here in football, for supporters to so much as squeek and tiny word of encouragement, or for the players to play with passion. It's a given that their wages might be affected by lack of interest, but to play for the badge and for the stripes with pride and desire isn't remotely based on that!

Nope, it IS an exchange, it IS an interraction, and it IS a relationship between players and fans.

Sadly, Brighton fans ARE shit, and we get what we deserve from that shittyness - and it's not going to be glory!

You had all better support, put some passion of your own out (other than bitching and moaning) if you people want anything more from the game than cold and passionless performance.

Fact.

 

[NMH]

By the way, I care that we win games, and not least of all, this weekend.

I'd rather be among a lower crowd with passion and encouragement, than a bunch of shithouse moaning miserable turds.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Agree strongly with the Wilkins in stand bit. In the dug out, please. Did think his half time subs this week were a an improvement on his usual timidity.

 

[O Lads]

Our home support is so incredibly fickle it's unbelievable. I'm surprised most of our fans aren't at home watching and 'supporting' Man Utd or Arsenal. It's non stop abuse from start to finish unless, and sometimes even when, we're winning. I'm sure the players don't really care if the fans are cheering when we're 2-1 up with a minute left to play, they need a bit of support from us at times when we aren't well on our way to a win.

Agreed, i was quite shocked when I was thinking 'God, Robinson on now could change the game up this right wing' that he actually brought him on with plenty of time to change the game.

Doesn't matter how badly we're playing - we should still get behind the team. We're "supporters" after all, right?

 

[dougdeep]

I don't think Forster has had a bad game since he's been here. He'll score tomorrow.

 

[Bozza]

(Playing Tom's game...)

Doesn't matter how badly we're supporting - they should still play football. They're "players" after all, right?

Exactly! 'Sing when we're winning' would not have defeated Archer and Stanley.

Good football and an atmosphere go hand in hand. Chicken and egg sort of theory. Let's make a racket. What have we got to lose?

Our voices?

 

[The Auditor]

It's a two-way thing. Applause has to be EARNT.

 

[Mr C]

Applause does have to be earned yes, but not support. Singing, chanting and supporting the team should happen anyway. Applause for good stuff happens as it is earned.

 

[DJ Leon]

The home "support" is shite. They have a perfectly valid point.

And the team consistently serves up entertainment and quality-free football, all for an overpriced ticket. Tom has a perfectly valid point too. I'd agree that we don't need criticism from those who should be concentrating on doing their own jobs well.

The Germans might hear us, think we have thrown off our Britishness, and invade.
