[Albion] Poor support when we needed it most

[Guinness Boy]

Thought our support today was reactive rather than proactive. When “come on Brighton” is your loudest chant you’re not backing the players.

For the first 5 mins the players were fantastic and so were we but after that Hudds were louder more often.

Two split groups in the North competing with each other yet again. WSU not joining in often enough. And, to be fair, the players making mistake after mistake just as we got going.

Before you ask I’m back of WSU North End. Personal tally = Songs started 3, other people’s songs taken up 2, songs joined in with all. Still too quiet for me where I was.

It was poor today. I thought the fans seemed nervous and this transmitted to the players.

Lack of vocal support most of the match but very quick to vocally criticise mistakes.

Frustrating and surprising day all round. I really thought we would be up for this today and the atmosphere would be good.

Well there you go then

Once again couldn't hear the west. Our biggest stand needs to make some noise.

I think it was a case of mass PTSD after the Propper miss.

I thought the Huddersfield fans did well for such a small following. Their chants sounded quite loud on the radio.

I'm more worried about staying in this league then worrying about which stand or so on is singing louder.
The players were under par today and also maybe us.
We live and learn.

Allowing a poor team back into the game with a howler of epic proportions will kill off an atmosphere 9 times out of 10

Lot of players before the game went on record asking for loud support. It helps by all accounts. Leicester and Huddersfield seem to have achieved this organically at home.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could improve our home record even more, just by most of the ground singing positive songs?

I sit central in the North stand. Fair play to you trying to give it a go in the West. The West in general is really woeful and almost embarrassing

Had to follow on Player as away. Wasn't good, sounded just like several other games when the nerves take over. We all tend to go quiet rather than up the volume when we're shitting our pants.

They sounded quite loud in the stadium !

 

[El Turi]

As has happened in almost all the big games at the Amex, nerves got the better of the crowd and transmitted to the team.

Oh it’s SINGING that wins games. Silly me all these years thinking it was scoring goals!

As for keeping tally, what’s the recommend method? Excel spreadsheet? Write it on your phone? Or do you keep it old school with a pencil a notepad?

 

[Weststander]

Poor today, once it became appararent that yet again Wagner's set up, team's pace and fight was superior in all departments.

The crowd sense the flow of the game.

Takes the team (and manager's decisions) often to lift the crowd.

Was there much to cheer about......Lucky goal for us ....would say up there with worst performance of the season!!

We lost 90% of 50:50's, second balls, they seem to be playing with 13 as always another Hudd player to win a skirmish over the ball. Albion get giving the ball away too.

The crowd in the NS where I sat were frustrated seeing all that unravel in both halves.

Want to argue with the negative comments above but can't...

Very quiet from 10mins to the goals and then during most of what followed - interspersed with some highly premature frustration and critical reactions to our own players.

Only consolation is that this is quite normal around the country and sometimes we are better.

Crowds fault then? "what a load of Bull...t"
