This post isn't meant to be a defence of TP or blame supporters for our defeat last night but I really do believe our home support is cack . The crowd were on the players back's from the first whistle last night and where i was sitting Richard Cresswell in particular was just getting absurd abuse . Everytime we went forward and didn't score the players were subjected to negative and sometime offensive shouting . The chanting of Fuller's name just added to this ,do people really think that this kind of thing helps ? In a game like this the home crowd should be buzzing and fully behind the team from the start but at stoke we just don't seem to get that . If we haven't scored after 10 minutes people get edgy and then it just snowball's into negativity . I'll be at coventry on saturday where the atmosphere will be brilliant from the stoke support , it's just a shame we can't bring it to our home games .

You're not wrong...and booing at half time, jees! Seems particularly strange to see Clint Hill get such a great ovation, even with Stoke 2 down, whilst we can't muster the same support for our own players who are 2nd in the table. I don't begrudge Clint his applause 9I clapped him too) but not getting behind our own side is criminal. At least they got a good roar when they came out for the second half, shame it didn't continue. Still, you pays yer money and sits on yer hands

The atmosphere was very positive for the start of the game with a good Delilah etc. It only started to falter when it became apparent that we had reverted to Hoof and it wasn't going to work.
This wasn't a case of the crowd lifting the players it was the team depressing the crowd.

I was instantly deflated upon hearing the news that Sidibe was starting!Two out of 3 top scorers on the bench....great.
