It seems our new manager has woken up to the fact that most Southend fans are a bunch of whingebags.
Yes we have been through a dire 12 months and not many 'green shoots of recovery' spotted yet but the depressing fact about Roots Hall is that it was rarely a wall of noise in support of the team in the good times under Steve Tilson. I know it's often said on here people are entitled to voice their opinions when things go wrong but I wish some of them were equally vocal in encouraging the team.
This problem is probably not unique to Southend - we are after all a nation of moaners - but I fear Southend fans may be among the worst offenders - let's face it Southend supporters were debating on ShrimperZone the need to boo their own players back in 2007/08 when we finished 6th in League One and again in 2008/09 when we finished 8th in League One. Some people appear to only support Southend as a means of inflicting their depressing view of life on everyone else.
Mods - this probably needs merging with the other thread on this subject but I can't post in it
