Then happen you should have titled your Poll “could some fans be to blame too”.

(the answer would still be “no”....the demise of EFC as a major force in this country since the mid 90s lays 100% with the people running the club, the managers they appointed and the players they sent out on the pitch)
no buddy i purposefully want collective responsibility so we can truly start to heal.
 
Ask your dad about the cushions lol

It was like the Coloseum in Rome when the home team lost a chariot race.

Thousands of cushions were chucked from the Top Balcony and Main Stand after a poor performance.

Like frisbees, they were.

They flew down from the Upper Bullens as well, can still see them whirling down on to the pitch accompanied by plenty of abuse! Dread to think what the reaction would have been in them days to that disgraceful pitiful spineless second half performance on Sunday!
 
Fans are the last element to blame. Start with the playing staff, they've took the piss out of us for years. If anything the fans should be rabid at them outside the training grounds, like you see in Italy. Owners and chairmen don't make a club - the fans do.
 
My dad said they use to boo in the 70 and 80, and called the players out if they want pulling their weight.

These players are bring paid very well and fans expect them to play football. If they cant play at this level then leave but no who will pay those huge wages.
Defo different back then.

The fans have definitely become less vocal against the player's. Just off the top of my head
Catterick getting nearly beat up at Blackpool for putting Joe royle in the team
The ones I saw
Joe Harper basically getting legged by fans back to his car.
Getting off the special at lime st after a bad away defeat, think it was city or United. Crossing by the lights towards st. George's hall and a group of us coming across sharpey and his Mrs out for a night out. He got surrounded by a group who were giving him [Poor language removed] and he looked terrified. Out of the blue one fan snatched his gold chain off his neck and legged it. Wasn't right that. But no doubt fans in the 60s, 70s and 80s were a lot more critical and showed it. Said before remember crowds after the game by the Winslow calling for cattericks, Bingham and lees head and having to be dispersed by police on horses.
 
here it goes...

English culture is "WE PAY MONEE SO WE WANT DEM TO PLAY GUD DEN WE WILL SUPORT DEM" so in that sense we are great, we sell out everywhere but in reality, we boo, sigh at backpasses, fume at everything and its silent every game, every week. We might be good compared to english but thats because the others are pathetic.

Telling ye now, If that performance happened in any other country in a derby, the fans would've been waiting outside for the players, would've turned up next day at training to rip them to shreds and get answers.

.
We've boo'd them for years, i think we should always get behind players when they lose but losing to a bunch of kids is a [Poor language removed] joke.
this...

Sshhh mate. It's a well known fact that modern fans are the only ones who boo the side and fume at dour insipid performances. It's this new fangled sense of cryarse millenial entitlement that intimidates and rattles players meaning they can't be arsed or are too scared. The term "boo-boys" was first recorded in the English press in 2003.

Previous generations just whirled their rattles around and got behind the boys no matter what and as a result the trophy cabinet was bulging due to the soaring confidence and previously unheard of ability to expend effort that this unique crowd sourced motivation inspired.
