Which makes the defensive subs from last Saturday all the more baffling!Forgot to say, good subs from MT last night Had a good impact.

Persoanlly not seen any hangover from the Argyle game and think we need to differentiate between the home and away form. Since the start of October our home results in all competitions have been: 1-0, 4-0, 3-1, 0-0 and 1-0 which is more than respectable. Yes, the last two games have been a bit of a struggle but it's worth remembering we've been without our captain, a lot of our senior players have been struggling for form and fitness while our younger players will always be understandably inconsistent.I think the fans have a right to have a pop at yet another poor performance. In isolation, sarcastic chanting at a dire performance seems petty and in such circumstances Matt would be well within his rights to ask for support rather than flak.
However I do feel that he and the players have been dining out a bit on the Argyle result a bit too much and it's clouding his judgement regarding some pretty terrible results but also performances prior to and after the Janners game.
We were smashed at Cambridge before Argyle and were really poor at Scunthorpe. After Argyle we were poor at Bradford after 20 minutes, poor at Cambridge in the cup and poor at home to Cheltenham at the weekend.
Is the right answer.The chant was mentioned by the radio cambridge commentators who said at the time that it had been city's first shot. I would have thought it was more wry humour, a bit of irony and not something too critical of the team. Chill Matt.
Agreed, i don’t have a particular issue with the chants and I also think Matt Taylor’s comments were fair enough - they seemed to be more about encouraging the fans to be more understanding rather than being openly critical of them.I'm not sure what people expect...I'm delighted with what Matt is doing...Sure we need a more reliable goal scorer or preferably two, then again doesn't almost every team...The guy is honest, hardworking and committed which is why we win games like last night rather than losing them like we often did under the previous regime. 'Vive la difference'
Spot on. I'm more concerned about lack of decent chances created then our firepower. I guess if you create few chances it puts even more pressure on the strikers to score but I don't think Stockley would have scored too many recently. Don't have any issue with what MT said but it wasn't a nasty/unpleasant atmosphere last night. Just classic terrace 'black humour'. Red Legion sang the 'Stanno' song for about 10 minutes at one point on Sat and really tried their best in the 2nd half. Last night it was just frustration at watching the same thing all over again.I know on other posts I have been saying we need a goal scorer but what would the point be of splashing the cash if you are not going to feed him, pretty dire crossing throughout.
A song about the new pop up shop perhapsI couldn't make the chant out and thought it was something about a shop which left me slightly confused.
Yes, i really am that dim.
