Tamworthowl Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I thought the fans were fairly muted for much of the first half, even after going one up. There wasn’t much moaning, but most of the noise was from the Plymouth fans (fair play to them for keeping going when their team only mustered three attempts all match). What I think upped the home support and improved the atmosphere was a sliding tackle by Bannan (towards S stand, LL end) which only prevented their defender sending the ball forward, but it epitomised the effort, the pressing game, that we’d adopted from the start (Jack Hunt / Gregory especially). At that point, I think a lot of nervous negative expectation changed to positivity: then we got the second. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilarious. I've got a someone like that behind me - we call him Pulis from Wish. He's literally wrong about everything, really entertaining tbf 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was lovely. I reckon that the Phantom Trumper would have sat right next to him and then decide to do the dirty on him if he’d started moaning.At least that would have been one way of telling him to be quiet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls2k Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) The players won the fans over, it was quiet at the start but the fans were soon onside even before the goal when they saw the performance.

I seem to remember that Bannan tackle was immediately after Mendez-Laing had done similar, and it really got the crowd going. It definitely felt like we weren't going to take our foot off their neck once that happened, didn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horny owl Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 If the players put a shift in and look like they actually want to win games the crowd will get behind them It’s not rocket science 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 We started positively and got the first goal. It completely transforms the mood at Hillsborough when we take the lead. For too long in recent seasons we’ve started incredibly lacklustre and that impacts the atmosphere negatively. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just panic. How many times in the last 20 years have we seen us throw games away? We all need therapy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said time and again, its the players that need to get the crowd going, then the crowd carries the players on. Perpetual motion...... when they start it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosborough-owl Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Yeah even before the match when in the boozer, it seemed more full and more noisier. Think it was down to not playing at home for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
