    Was pretty miserable last night: got in, kicked the imaginary cat & sulked a bit...BUT
    Couple of glasses of wine & a curry & a nice evening with the family just shows that there are more important things in life.
    Me sulking about a match isn't going to help anyone.
    Tuesday is another day & a chance to forget about Saturday.
    As fans there is little we can do about the performance on the pitch, BUT we can be positive & we can do our best to urge the players on & MAKE THEM RESPOND.
    Hopefully the players can forget about yesterday & move on. If they had a crowd roaring them onnstead of waiting for the first mistake it might make a difference.
    I'm not saying its the fans fault it most definitely isn't - but supporting our team is all we can do, so if you're going on Tuesday, be positive - it might just help.

    Get behind them....
    You Reds!

    (Damn I may have peaked too early!) :D

    That's what I'm dreading about Tuesday. If we go behind sections of the crowd will turn on the team/manager and will not help one jot.

    Agreed

    But when the fans do get behind the team on Tuesday night, I expect the players to respond in a positive manner. Seems only fair.

    Unrequited love

    Players never come & see me when I'm bad.
    It's a one way thing, but I've learnt to live with it. :)

    If they can't respond when

    They're getting the backing from the fans, then they shouldn't bellyache when the fans turn on them. They can't have it both ways.

    I think we will stop up

    Never thought for a minute we would go down. The players are good enough. Whether they are properly organised and motivated is another matter. Playing them in their correct positions would do for a start.

    I agree

    On Saturday, I even struggled to applaud Hammill, who made a decent effort of thanking the fans in all parts of the ground.

    If the performances aren't good, fans have the right to moan, but for 90 minutes it would be good to have some proper backing. The players need to take responsibility, but to me apathy has set in all around... we need a message circulating Oakwell that says "we're up for it, get behind us, we're up fo the fight".

    I don't know, something like ...

    "STRONGER TOGETHER"

    :D
