Final whistle last night...

[Kevin Hogg]

said it all.
We have seen images of despairing fans in tears applauding relegated teams and those that lost in play-off's.
Last night there was mild applause from a few but mainly silence as people just turned their backs and left.

 

[Beefy]

Could you please explain what it said?

 

[Kevin Hogg]

Well, there was certainly not the love shown by Bolton, Cardiff, Pompey, Macc Town etc. I feel it was the performances and tactics rather than missing out..that has left supporters cold to the team.

 

[Beefy]

Sounds like thousands of disappointed people to me. I don't get the impressionn that people are cold to this team.

There was nothing wrong with the performance and effort last night. There was also no negative comments or anger that I saw. If people were really unhappy they would have booed, they didnt.

People were just gutted and disappointed .

The reason why is because we where top three for most of the season ,if we where say just out of the playoffs al season and just got in you might of had a different reaction to it

 

[Kevin Hogg]

Maybe you are right.
Though, it appeared to me that supporters felt that we just did not go for it...until too late. No heroic failure. Just failure.

Fans around the West Stand stood and applauded the team. Unfortunately only a few of the players made the circuit to applaud the fans. From memory only Grant, Hall, Barker, Belford, Timlin made any great effort. One note pointed out to me was that Harris went to applaud the Crewe fans (nothing wrong with that) and then went straight off the pitch. Did not notice that myself but cannot argue. I know the players were gutted and gave their all but would have been great if they had applauded around the ground as was mentioned more than once on the tannoy.

 

[Wickford Blue]

I left because I was gutted!! No other reason!!

 

[jtsouthend]

probably recognition that we were beaten by a better team and the fact that we didn't really seem to have learnt any lessons from the first leg

i would say the fans have generally warmed to this team more than last season if we take the number of songs we sing about players as a rough guide...winning a few more games / league position obviously helps as well.

obviously it's not great to not go up last night...but that's life...we are supporters so we will do what we do best "support"

roll on 2012/13

Not in the second half.But the first half was woeful.

Not in the second half.But the first half was woeful.

Individual performances were awful, with players unable to complete pretty basic passes. But the tactics were largely fine as was the formation.
