Whilst I think we have to most amazing fans anywhere, travelling home and away . I just think that the way some fans think it’s ok to berate and slag our players off is diagusting . Last night the fans behind me constantly shouting obscenities at our own players , Myko , McNeil Barry etc . I wouldn’t want to perform getting all that abuse , yes the first two had shocking games , but they are the scapegoats now DCLhas moved on . I know everyone has the right to make their own choices . But come on blues let’s get behind the lads . If some one had said we’d be 3 pts behind them across the park after 24 games I’d be buzzing
It's always the same. It is pathetic.
Agree. It's obviously effecting Dibling as well. He looks terrified of making a mistake/receiving further criticism. Classic example was him not shooting and passing on responsibility late on with a shot being the better option.

While I agree it isn't helpful, it's borne of frustration. This team is close to being competitive this season, but Myko in particular is an extremely weak link, and most of the attacks down that side fall apart when he is involved. He's a half decent defender who tries hard, but it is hard work paying to watch him week in, week out.

I don't know why some of our home supporters pay to go the game, at times there is so much negativity and abuse at some of the players on the pitch. Surely, you pay to watch a match and get behind the team.
I don’t hear much negativity at the games apart from the odd groan
I also think the fans have been largely supportive of players like beto, Barry, etc whilst they’ve been settling in
There’s not a current “boo boy” like t there has been in the past either, although McNeil is heading that way

I have seen it plenty of times when we were flying. There is always a few players that get singled out and these knuckle draggers think that by berating them for 90 minutes they will suddenly improve

Not even bothered by people who give the odd negative comment. It's the sitting in silence which is the real killer. People say all home fans are quiet but we are without doubt the worst for it. Don't know how thousands of people can sit and make such little sound.

It was the same in the 80's when we used to win plenty. Harper and Richardson used to get dogs abuse. Richardson went on to win 3 League titles at 3 different clubs but was the whipping boy at Everton
Its interesting how people think giving players hugs and kisses is going to make them better players.
Iwobi was a scapegoat for a while for us, being pretty awful and going into his shell.
What did he do? He pulled his socks up (figuratively) worked hard and his form improved...........became one of our more important players and is now seen warmly towards fans, and probably would still be contributing here if it wasn't for Dyche, or PSR or whatever. remeber in an interview him speaking about us fans as mad, demanding but will get behind you if you show your hard work and bravery on the ball.........he's pretty much spot on.
You dont become a good player by going inside your shell over some criticism, you thrive off that sort of stuff, if you cant handle that, go and play for Burnley
Think generally there's a patience issue among the fanbase, as well as a lack of confidence in our recruitment department.
We're so ready to believe we've got the Dibling signing wrong because it's so easy to believe. Barry and Rohl have had the same this season, even though the manager has asked for patience.
I think that's compounded by the club just ignoring the full back issue. That's enough to make anyone fume and fair enough to be honest.

Our fans......are no different than any other set of fans. Moaning at players is par for the course for fans of clubs. Even fans of clubs that regularly win things moan. You'll never please all the people all of the time. Has it got worse over the years? In the 60s, the great Harry Catterick got dogs abuse for dropping our hero Alex Young for a young Joe Royle. Fans moaning, annoying but pfft.
