Legend Barry Horne
Player Valuation: £6m
A culture amongst too many fans of consistently unrealistic expectations and negativity has imposed a huge burden on the club and team over the last few years
Rather than creating a positive and confident culture, this contributes to fear and anxiety in the team
Balanced, well considered and constructive analysis, critique and support is noticeable by its absence
To change this, fans would need to actively work on changing their mindsets - some fans seem to be hard wired this way though and unlikely to change - so presumably if the worst happened and we went down, the negativity would still be present
All I can ask is that people somehow try to be as positive and supportive as possible to the end of the season - help build up the team and staff's confidence rather than knocking it down
The fans can make a difference here!
