..I know it's been hard to get motivated lately but the fans have lost their mojo.

Clearly we feed off of the team and with the results of late its having an effect on us...however, when we first came up the crowd supported no matter what was happening and it got us through...Someone has to break the cycle...and it's down to us to do so.

Get behind then no matter what, get that feared and admired atmosphere going again (not just when we're doing well in a game) and together we may just get out of this.

I'm fed up with purple blaming everyone else but we also need to understand the part we've played since our promotion...and we're in danger of bring add culpable add those that we're pointing the fingers at.

IMO the atmosphere has fallen flat since the change of announcer. This new guy is awful, can barely be heard in my section of the homesdale And is flat as a pancake.

But we diehard supporters have had to endure utter dross since the start of 2016 so it is little wonder that enthusiasm has been lost and recriminations are order of the day.

You should have seen the faces last night of those in the "Corridors of power" at the club !!!!

Agreed....worse still last night was when he was announcing the names of the Swansea Team - he had not done his homework and mispronounce half their team. Awful...no character, personality and certainly did not get the crowd motivated!

Agreed. If there's no more sh1t on the pitch like last night then when they get support again it must stay. If there's more of last night it's going to be grim. I'm willing to support unconditionally again but, as I say, getting hundreds to sing constantly when there's no effort or control of the football and they go down each game without a fight, will it happen?

I certainly think it's time for the players to step up; that would help.

Synching floodlights to GAO - pathetic

Announcer - atrocious

Sound in the Arthur - Can't hear anything

performance on the pitch - turgid

Fans have backed the team unconditionally for 12 months, I don't think it is totally unreasonable for a bit of frustration

 


the dignified don't even enter in the game

I'm finding it really tough at the moment, to be honest. Turned up last night ready to sing all the way through as it was such a massive game (as did many around me), but after watching 15 mins of a terrible Swansea side take the piss out of us I felt very deflated. The first half performance was possibly the worst I've seen since promotion and they were deservedly booed at HT. It's been well over a year now, it's become a chore coming to SP when it used to be magical and the HT reaction was a culmination of that.

Performance second half at least produced some effort, and I thought the crowd did get behind the team then, but again understandably silent when the winner went in. How many late goals can a crowd put up with? It's actually numbing.

I'll be at W Ham and hopefully they produce a performance that merits good support as frankly the crowd has done their bit.

What is that now the 13th defeat in the last 20 at home. How can we step up when we are beaten so often. A normal crowd goes to home games eith optimism but how can we. The ground must be known to away teams as Buffet Park. Help yourself!

Fans have a right to be rubbish. They pay to get in so if they want to be a rubbish fan then that's up to them. On the other hand the players are getting paid to be rubbish.

Last night was the first game where things seemed to really turn sour. I'm not blaming him for the result, but I think Allardyce could have been up on the touchline showing a presence rather than slumping into his seat like a disgruntled fan.

I'm not going to knee jerk and hope that Sam is just observing before making his mark. But the fans pay enough to have a right to be pi**ed off at the drivel served up last night.

Can't hear him in the Arthur either. Not sure that's his fault, needs a sound technician to work with him and set up his mike etc.

The PA high point for me was when the screen gave ManU our equalising goal and read 0-2 instead of 1-1!
