It was a bit like the Life of Brian scene today "Don't go out there, they're in a funny mood sir"
The crowd behind me usually grumbling were having a good laugh presumably making up their own entertainment, the two to my left cleared off at half time.
The boos for Baker's misplaced pass were deafening and the ironic cheers for Campbells two glorious headers rather loud.
As for that chant at the end if the players, manager or owners were in any doubt of the level of dissatisfaction a few months before season ticket renewal they're not now.
After the Sheffield United match it was "We love you City, we do" Seems an eternity away now.

After they scored🤔not heard that for a few years. Also I think the crowd made their feelings known when Briwn was took off,then the cheering at the Campbell and Baker substitutions said it all I found it very worrying that when interviewed the manager didn't seem to think there was much wrong with that performance other than the outcome. I would have been tempted to boo even if we'd won, that was one bloody awful game of football. Neil is becoming increasingly defensive and myopic. He's sliding quickly down the same snake that appeared when Lambert was appointed. Fuck this succession of useless managers that have been appointed!

Baker played several balls out of play. Such a shame because as we’ve seen there’s an excellent player in there Is there though, without the goals there wasn't really all that to him before, maybe a little more effort but not much else. Maybe we're seeing the reason he's been a football nomad until his mid twenties plying his trade in a Turkish league...that is until spotted the gem

Obviously I wish it didn’t have to happen but I was quite pleased that it did. Something had to be said. During the game however, especially in the first half, I could hear conversations from around 3-4 rows behind me and I’m in a wheelchair bay!

I never boo the players and I didn't join in that chant, however today, for a few, it was justified.

It's funny you should say that in the second half I heard a loud banging noise and then realised it was so quiet that I could hear their goalkeeper clearing his boots against the post.

Under MON or Neil I’ve never thought the players weren’t trying, but the lack of bollocks and quality today bought out the outpouring of frustration. It looks to me that none of them enjoy or understand the game Neil is asking them to play. It doesn’t suit anybody. What is he asking them to play? I would love to know.

Something he will no doubt sell as some fantastic tactical pressing game based on turning the ball over, when the reality is it’s negative dirge that just allows the opposition to build and break us down when we inevitably balls up. There is nothing likeable about it. It’s shit.

Brown was lucky he lasted as long as he did It was a toss up between him and the bone idle fucker up front with him and it seemed like the majority of the crowd thought the same judging by the reaction to both substitutions Ty did some good things and was absolutely not deserving of the ironic cheers that greeted his departure. Singling him out above all others is just strange

I would have been tempted to boo even if we'd won, that was one bloody awful game of football. The manager hasn't got a clue himself. You can roll the "they aren't his players" line out all you want, but it's him that plays 5 at the back against a team that's lost 3 (or 4) on the bounce. That continually plays players that are shit, continually plays players out of position, continually makes the same predictable subs changing like for like. Genuinely one of the most unlikeable managers (if not THE most unlikeable) in my lifetime supporting the club, if you're going to be flippant, arrogant, blunt, patronizing, then you better back it up, and he simply isn't.

Singling him out above all others is just strange The heart of a mouse, which has shrunk even further since his injury. His application to tackling, heading and defensive intensity is the reason he's still in the Championship despite being a somewhat gifted finisher. Needs to be used a sub from now on.

They aren’t fit to wear the shirt, they are a disgrace and some of what I saw today was an embarrassment to their profession let alone the shirt. There is one player that I would keep and that is the one we need to sell so we can clear out this bunch of wasters. I have no love for these charlatans, no fans deserve success, but all supporters deserve effort, running and passion. This absolutely 100% with great big fucking bells on. With possibly 2 other exceptions (Powell and Tymon) they are to a 'man' gutless, spineless, lazy, talentless wankers.

At the end when the useless twats were coming off they were getting loads of abuse from block 10. All Campbell was bothered about was smiling and waving to his misses which went down like the titanic.

There are 9 others who should come under fire before him + an idiot manager and his coaching staff No but there were boos when he was fetched off Presumably because they wanted him to stay on? Why? He didn’t run around, his touch was woeful, he missed the easiest chance of the game, he was born offside and he made Liam fucking Lyndsay look like Beckenbeur. Brown isn’t a footballer. He’s absolutely useless and after improvement last season he’s worse now then when he arrived. Tymon? Seriously? Absolutely useless. My 14 year old plays same position for Blackpool. He’s better than Tymon now and am not even joking. Baker and Thompson? Wow. Wilmott, Fox? There are no words for how shit those 4 were yet we are at the point of ironically cheering Tyrese Campbell. The manager. The less said about that clown the better yet you come here and all you can do is criticise Tyrese Campbell.

You can bet that the cupped ear celebration will be back with our next goal (whenever that may be). There's a total disconnect between the club and the fans. Also appears to be plenty of disconnects within the football club. It’s a shambles, that’s what it is. It’s got to the stage with me where I really wouldn’t be that bothered if they put the club up for sale. Something big needs to change.

How many of that team give a shit though? And folk scoffed at TP for checking DNA before signing a player. Clive Clarke touched upon today in summarising on Radio Stoke. We don’t have a Walters, a Huth, a Whelan, a Shawcross in the squad. It was all about the DNA under Sir Tony. And talking of which, 10 years ago we had beaten Liverpool 2-0 on Boxing Day to go 8th , unbeaten at home in 15/16 matches (almost a full Prem season) and with what I considered at the time to be a squad that was massively overachieving and was desperate for reinforcements in January. Just let that sink in for a minute 8th in the Premier League. And that was the point that the new hierarchy pulled the plug on TP with the signing of Brek Fucking Shea (not TP’s signing either) & a very young Jack Butland. As I said so many times at the time’be careful what you wish for’……we’re a million miles off 8 th in a shit League and the only DNA on show from chairman to players is the DNA of a bunch of soft, spineless losers.

Any supporter who booed when Jacob Brown was subbed & jeered when Campbell came off is a fool. Both fluffed decent chances and neither can really say they left everything in the pitch.
Campbell was poor, but yet again a good chunk of our fan base got on at him pretty much from kick off. There was one where people got on at him for not challenging when he was about 3 yards away. People can’t wait to stick the boot in. There’s a quality player in Campbell, but this environment is toxic for him.
Where as Jacob Brown couldn’t control a football for the first 30 minutes and he got off lightly. He’s technically so poor & how he got 13 goals last season I just don’t know. But if he’s not putting himself about then he’s completely worthless to the team.
One thing though, they were both hung out to dry by the manager today. Neither is a target man & never have been, just aimless long balls to them does them no favours at all.

Dave most fans can see he’s not putting it in whatever you say but sadly he’s not the only one.Baker is even worse and I totally agree on Tymon.I selected a team that didn’t include Campbell,Baker and Tymon on here yesterday and I was amazed he kept the same side after Friday

Treatment of Campbell and baker was pathetic fans sinking to the level of the manager ,whose clear level,of abject incompetence was on perfect display today my only.consolation on the shirt sing was it must be a Few as I didn’t hear it in the Franklyn but anyone who thinks it does anything but harms the team is candidly deluded .
now is the time for the powers that be to realise that the crucial connection between fans , players and club is broken the bridge that makes that connection is the manager and this one has failed abjectly to create that , the contrast to Preston so obvious today .
The only Answer is the manager has to go and one with forward thinking ideas ,and emotional intelligence needs to come to our rescue
