When you take it in isolation as a single game then yeah fair enough but bigger picture for me is they have more than enough credit in the bank for me to consider booing one horror show.
Looking at where we've came from through the playoffs after finishing 24 points behind the other 2 promoted teams we've leapfrogged them and will finish mid table. When you look at the last 2 years teams to be promoted they've all gone straight back down with barely a whimper. Southampton who were in our shoes last season ended on 12 points we are on 46. I think we should all surely be able to forgive one poor showing.
Yeah mate. I just wanted to get out of there on the final whistle too. One of those nights.

Possibly because Alderete was the worst of the worst last night. His passing was atrocious.
I know mate just hard to think as rational as that now 15 hours after a 0-5 defeat
100% I love Nordi and hope if was just his way of showing his fight.
Totally understand mate sport brings out loads of emotions. Joy anger and despair to name a few. The Port Vale game killed me for about a week as i had dared to dream and it felt at the time like a massive opportunity thrown away. Usually I tend to just laugh it off but other times it gets me. Where only human after all.
Yeah true mate, i dont take defeat well so sometimes im best to just be ignored on here for a few days after a game.
Le Fee doesn’t get close enough to Brobbey for that partnership to work. That’s whyDiarra continues to play there because he’s far more mobile and can run beyond the front man. Le Fee is more suited to playing behind a fast striker like Isidor
I don't blame him for being pissed off. He would have already known they were having an off night. He (or any other player) didn't need knobs in the crowd pointing that out and booing the team.
I see it from both sides, as a paying fan id be frustrated. I wouldnt get angry with any of the lads because theyve been brilliant this season but some fans sacrifice alot financially and travel from the other side of the country so its well within their right to show abit of frustration being 0-4 down at half time. As a professional footballer its part and parcel of the job unfortunately.
not sure where that performance came from it been a very good season no relegation worries at all and 6 points fron the saudis hopefully we see a reaction next week at Wolves

Granit Xhaka shared his thoughts after Sunderland's implosion at the SoL.
TOUGH NIGHT
“Very tough. It’s difficult to find the right words now but the only thing I can say is to apologise to the fans. What you saw today is not the team you have seen all season. This is part of our journey, it’s part of the team where we can process it and improve ourselves individually and as a collective. Hopefully this will not happen again.”
LEARN FROM IT
“Thankfully we have time to recover and reflect and to see ourselves in the mirror, to analyse it and say it was not good enough. We must not forget where we’ve come from, I was saying before the game that the season is a marathon and not a sprint. Sometimes these things happen, it’s painful for sure but we need to recover now and come back stronger, to give the fans what we’ve given them all season and react.”
EASY GOALS
“We had a couple of games where we did not play well but we took some points. I think the goals we conceded were too easy and we didn’t do the basics right - if you don’t do the basics in this league, or anywhere in the football world, you get punished. We were punished so quick in the first half and after 4-0 you need a lot of luck and everything else to come back. At least we tried, but it was not good enough today.”

We've achieved what we aimed to.
1. Survival
2. Don't lose to the mags
3. If possible, beat the Mags
We've done that.
Let's not turn into them up the road, delusions of grandeur.
We've got players playing in the world cup and don't want to get injured, they've did their job, let them look forward to the summer for our entertainment.

On X
The disallowed goal.
Referee was a joke, clearly an agenda against us and all the refs are in on it. That’s why we lost tonight. Am I doing it right? @SpursOfficial #THFC
It's the bloody cartel again
Sometimes these things just happen, especially when there's a new squad of players and disruption with injuries etc.
I've loved this season and won't let last night spoil it, as you say the highlights more than balance one defeat.
I'm looking forward to all our games and hope to see you for a pint before the Chelsea game
