    I don’t think it’s anything to do with fans. We signed a load of players in one go last summer & also sold about half the first team so we were always likely to suffer in the short term.

    Results were getting better before the lockdown & that progression has continued whilst we’ve been in lockdown

    Because they don't have fans in the ground getting on their backs after a poor pass two minutes in to a game when it's still 0-0. I think five subs is helping us out probably more than fans not being allowed.

    Really! Haven’t you been to any other grounds in the last five years!

    if we have a bunch of players here who ‘can’t play in front of their home fans’ we are technically what’s known as **** Ed.

    I think you seriously underestimate this group of players. Young they may be, but they do not lack character, spine or guts. They’ll only flourish further with some support behind them.

    I don't think our fans are necessarily any more negative than any other clubs in all honesty.

    I don't get on the back of the players if we go behind. Others can do as they wish when they've paid their money.

    Cheer JLW for trying me to look like a ****, however I was probably on of the worst as you have proven.
    But with how good our Team are playing behind closed doors shows you that no matter how bad they play you should alway get behind them. Again JLB thanks xx

    Me neither. In fact I was shouting out encouragement to Andersen particularly last season. To be a top sportsman is to perform in front of a crowd, always has been always will be.

    OK.to put the other side of the argument. Sunderland fans got criticised for putting too much pressure on their team. Did worse after lockdown when there were no fans.

    I'm not trying to make you look like anything. It's been brilliant since Valerien Ismael took over and I'll leave criticism of our players & fans to others.

    To highlight your hypocrisy. "Don't do as I do, do as I say".
    I'm not telling others what to do, I'm simply saying what I do, or don't do.

    Two promotions and two victories at Wembley, all with fans watching.

    No, you don't need my help for that.
    However, I'll happily draw a line under this if you do the same.:)

    Collins
    Ludewig Solbaure Halme B Williams
    Thomas Mowatt Ritzmaire
    Woodrow
    Brown Chaplin

    Team last game begore Lockdown

    Now

    Walton
    Sollbaure Helic Anderson
    Brittain James Mowatt Styles
    Frieser Woodrow Chaplin

    7 changes since before lockdown.

    Much stronger team now but i do think a quiet or hostile crowd does have a negative impact.

    Because our fans seem to moan and groan at the slightest of mistakes, our players at the moment can make mistakes and learn from them without getting stick from fans who expect us to have 90% possession and 100% pass accuracy
