It was a nervous crowd tonight, and that transferred to the pitch, especially towards the end and during the penalties. All day I saw posts and comments from fans saying how nervous they were and how they were feeling sick, etc. I think that went on too much and made everyone too nervous instead of excited. There wasn't the continuous legendary 'wall of noise' we had against Brighton last season and it showed in the performance on the pitch. Last season it was the crowd that carried the team through that game and were the extra man. We were all awesome for a while after our goal and for that time Huddersfield were at sixes and sevens struggling with the atmosphere against them, but it died down too quickly. And we just weren't intimidating enough during their penalties and didn't take advantage of kicking at the Kop end. Carlos and the team have all said time and time again the fans are the 12th man and make the difference - we need to live up to that like we absolutely can if we're in this position again next season (heck, throughout the whole season as we go for automatic!!). COME ON WEDNESDAY! Absolutely agree, shuffle nervous atmosphere tonight, nearly got me head kicked in on north smoking bend for singing 'is this a library' at half time but drank my way through it and my sister saved me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage owl Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Don't you dare blame me and the other fans that have spent thousands following us for that load on insipid bobbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Nonsense. The fans were brilliant tonight, backed the team to the hilt and can be excused for the nerves getting to us as extra time wore on - it was f***ing agonising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roundhayowl Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 We scored early against Brighton which made the whole atmosphere completely different. How you can have a pop at the fans tonight I don't know - stuck with the team throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COME ON WEDNESDAY! Sorry pal, but what a load of utter tripe. The "wall of noise" wasn't there because we weren't anywhere near as good as when we played Brighton last year. It's down to the players to give us something to cheer. They're paid very VERY well to do so. To say that the fans played a part in the loss tonight is just brainless drivel.

Mr Farrell Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 1-0 up, fans making a wall of noise, and the ground rocking. Carlos carries on with his defensive doddering instead of going for the jugular. Yep, definitely the fans fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame it didn't materialise tonight. Other than after we'd scored for about 5/10 minutes I thought the crowd was poor. Let's stop kidding ourselves about how how passionate we are. When it really should have mattered we let both ourselves and our team down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adifferentgame Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Because the fans: - Find and sign transfer targets - Play a huge role in coaching - Choose the tactics and formation - Pick the squad for match day - Are responsible for making substitutions - Control the players directly using Xbox controllers Right?

vulva Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Reason we lost is that we went 1 up, then sat back. Last season we went 1 up v Brighton and ploughed forward, winning the tie. Carlos has looked at Hull and Boro, and tried to copy their defensive mentality. Its backfired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlofOliveGrove Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Again, 30k wednesdayites turned up more than willing to get behind team and were treated to an abject first half performance... Can scream all we want but it won't change the tactics and today they were garbage. FF and Fletcher up top...wrong choice. Bannan on wing...wrong choice. Substitutions...wrong choices. Shove your blaming the supporters up your a*se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrs Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Think the OP has a point to a degree. Was surprised when the team walked off at half time that literally nobody seemed to give a foook. There was certainly nobody clapping near me. Sure it hadn't been a great performance but even so. And during the pens every person in the stadium should've been booing when their players walked up. Didn't happen. That said I agree it almost worked against us that it was the second leg - the game was so finely poised and had so much riding on it I think everyone was more nervous than last year. And yes, ultimately the team need to give the fans something to cheer and we were too cautious in team selection and approach for me. Paid them too much respect early on and paid the price.

latemodelchild Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Nope, not having that. We turned up and it wasn't our night. We supported. We sang. There's no way any of us are to blame, likewise I'm not blaming the players or CC. Its football. It happens. We pay our money and we love our club. We aren't to blame.
