    Rigg was crying? Or was that not true. The players themselves should know that wasn’t good enough, onto Saturday

    Not the time for me to be thinking about that TBH ...

    ... I'd rather believe he'll take us up and be given money.

    Disappointed to read Rigg got and took some abuse.

    Works his bollocks off at 17 years of age in not his natural position, Jobe as well as he has played in some games this season has been just as hit and miss imo.

    Seen posts calling for rlb to go today and in previous weeks, that help no-one apart from those ranting.

    It's all a bit sad imo

    I doubt it was aimed at Rigg specifically tbh ...

    ... everyone who went would be upset, the support was excellent today on the whole.

    Fair point, however it’s getting tiring watching us getting played off the park on several occasions

    Of course they would, would be unusual for our away support to behave badly towards the team.

    The online moaning is gaining traction and it won't be long before it's louder at games imo

    There's only one game left.

    After that people would have to be deranged to do anything but support their team.

    And we have all seen people saying get rid of RLB, that the players deserved abuse today.

    There's even posts on here saying forget the play offs

    There were a fair few behind me who were mouthing off at some of our players - they then got drowned out by Sunderland til i die :emoticon-0159-music
    All a bit subdued after their goal.:emoticon-0120-doh:

    It's just a handful of those who shout the loudest and longest ...

    ... they can only exist on social media where they think they're broadcasting to the nation.

    Our support, in the playoffs, will be excellent as usual.

    I just want RLB to get us playing like we were before Christmas. Why have we seemed to ditch it?

    Inknow we still do “press” but nowhere near like we used to.

    I wonder just how integral mayenda being at CF is for us. Isidor seems to be missing most of the time now sadly

    Mundle. We have zero direct threat or pace from wide areas when he isn't playing and that kills our counter attacking style.

    Just to add to this, when Mundle was out our best performances came in the 442 shape with Mayenda and Isidor drifting into wide spaces.

    We are currently trying to play counter attacking football with ELF and Roberts out wide, neither are quick enough to be a real threat in transition. Jobe ends up being the main ball carrier on counters and that just doesn't work.
