    Well that is ****e from whoever done it mate, but thankfully it must have been a small minority and hopefully no one on the pitch heard it.

    The lad is on a poor run of form and perhaps a game or 2 out of the team so he can concentrate on his game might do him the world of good.

    It did sound like a few boos from the sky footage, shocking booing our own players. Young lads confidence is probably already low and then gets a few boos coming on.

    Ill add it def sounded like a handful of people

    Aye like I say wasn’t widespread but it was definitely noticeable. Like you say hopefully didn’t reach pitch level.

    The lad needs out of the firing line it’s a shambles the way folk pile on. He’s a 20 year old foreign lad, with bags of ability who simply hasn’t found his best place yet.

    I heard the Ba booing when he came on. Shameful.

    he was frustrating and I don’t mind the reactions when he tries a stupid skill in his own half and gives the ball away, but people booing him just for being him can get the **** out of the club frankly. I’d rather our attendance was 38,000

    cheers again RTB...

    nice start to 2024 and good to see a little of the passing game coming back, first half at least, 2nd half was more keeping control and see if there was a quick counter attack or three... not sure if i like that approach but we got the result.

    good to see pritchard start and grab his goal, rusyn had a very good game and deserved his goal, clarke and ekwah started well but neil took a while to get into the game but came into it very well along with jobe, keepig it simple and effective also pleased patto was 'on the ball' early...defence were pretty much solid, restricting them to a few snap shots.

    officials had a good game, can't remember any real bad calls anywhere.

    MotM is going to pritchard, hope this means more faith will be put in him.

    Ba produces more than Roberts despite being messed around and played in 6 different positions yet one gets a new contract and the other gets boo'd. Disgusting really.

    Ba is barely 20, he will be a completely different player in 18 months, he's almost unrecognisable from the CM we signed in the summer of 22. The player needs to improve, especially decision making and when to release the ball, I think the vast majority would be on board with that, but he is still our asset and should be supported.

    And there is a reason he hasn’t been starting. Easy picking a team when you don’t know the full picture.

    Pre match that. I presume Rusyn has staked a decent claim after that goal.

    Biggest credit to Alese is you’d never have thought for a second he’d been out for months.

    Still keeps being caught in possession at times. He needs to take some better options when he does pass . Two occasions today , a straight through ball to Rusyn , and the lad was in on goal but Neil chose to pirrouette both times and pass wide.
