and I'm not just on about the performance here...
2-0 down at half-time and the players run out for the second half to silence... that would never have happened at The Manor.
also, i wish those pricks that were willing the ref to send Futcher off would just f**k off too... i agree, Futcher is crap, but wanting one of our own players sent off is bang out of order

On the basis of the radio coverage it seemed the only time the fans were audible en masse was when they booed the players off at H/T and F/T.
We have some right bellends in our support.

The booes weren't so bad at full time because most of the booers had already left

Couldn't agree more. Was sat in front of two blokes first half that were constantly slagging Futcher off. Everytime he got the ball they would say 'uh-oh' or 'here we go'. Twice when Futch intercepted an attack (like defenders are supposed too) they said 'that was a fluke'... they actually wanted him to screw things up. f**king idiots

Not sure where you were sitting but I know one guy said it tongue in cheek as he is shit and the ref was booking our players for nothing so it wouldn't have surprised me if he'd gone!!
Bring back the beast, he's as quick, better in the air and passes better?? No brainer IMO.

anyway, forget Beast, Futch etc, i wanna know why our team were greeted with silence when coming back out for the second half?...
It felt horrible, IMO. Our support really isn't what its cracked up to be...

Our support really isn't what its cracked up to be... Totally agree with that. So many people blame the design of the stadium for the lack of noise but that is complete bollocks. I have sat in the SSU a few times recently and our fans could outsing the away fans if they tried because the noise is good when they do. Some of our fans seem to think that making a bit of noise for ten minutes is support. No excuses id we want to get behind the team then we need to open our mouths not only when the going is good. Today the 468 Southend fans outsung the 2000+ in the OMS from ten minutes onward. Please don't tell me it is up to the players to motivate the fans because when we are winning they don't need the support. It is when the going is tough, as it was today, that we could make a difference.

How much do you sing in the SSU scoob? Genuine question and not having a pop. Don't worry Ricky if I give it out I have to expect to be questioned and have no problem with that. Also I am not saying that I would be any better than anyone else who wants to improve the atmosphere. I am just giving my obervations from a different position to normal. I have not sung much in the SSU where I have sat for various reasons three times this season. I have sung but little point when almost everyone around you cant be bothered to clap let alone sing. I have had many strange looks when I have shouted support as though I am a bit strange or maybe it is because I have awakened them from their slumber . However when in the OM (95% of games over the last 5 years) I sing far more than most, if not all, in the section that I sit in. I really think that we need to encourage everyone who is willing to sing to do it more often even if they feel a little self conscious and are not sat in a group.

I may be wrong but i believe the majority who single out (our) players for abuse are part timers and on vacation from their normal Armchair positions. Yes some of our supporters were crass- but most did their utmost at the start imo to get an atmosphere going, but when it became increasingly obvious that our team had not turned up- and were possibly still feeling the affects of the festivities that initial enthusiasm died, mine included. If that's me not being a 'true supporter' then hard luck, because that's how i react to lethergy and apparent lack of guts/ideas from 'my' team. Ultimately it's down to the manager, and if the performances and results are good or bad he should accept the plaudits or criticism where appropriate - Yesterday CW and his team had a shocking 'day at the office' -No excuses. The players need to look at their own individual performances.

Our support really isn't what its cracked up to be... Because were were rubbish (not just losing but bad performance). Support works two ways and if we were losing but playing well then i am sure there would have been noise. The players need to give fans something to cheer about just as fans drive the players on. I don't think we are alone in this type of reaction. If fans see signs of encouragement they sing if they don't, well then they are quiet.

Is it right that Wilder has distanced himself from the poor performance and rather than accept some blame himself has laid it on the players doorstep?
That's not a good sign

That's not a good sign Sam Allardyce did this not long ago and was heartily praised for it. Poor performances are not necessarily the manager's fault.

So who takes responsibility for a collective team poor performance?
