Seriously?? Are we supposed to sit online or on social media and vocalise how poor we are, that we haven't since new year's day and are going down to the Conference South with a squad our ownership suggested was Play Off worthy? What is the point in paying to attend games and not vocalise, in person the terrible situation we are in?? What are we even arguing about here?

I personally left the game at half time on Saturday after the own goal and penalty, something I cannot remember ever doing in the past, even when we were behind in a game... I was 100% certain that the second half offered nothing after the equaliser and the idea we were 'still in the game' just has no basis on the reality of this season.

If you had offered me odds at 45 minutes of the game staying at 1-1 or us winning the match with ten men, I wouldn't have even taken your money off of you to take that bet... The defeat was as much a certainty as someone like Barnet or York winning their game. Truly baffling thoughts on our team's progress in 2025, when we have a worse record since the turn of the year than Ebbsfleet who I must stress don't currently have 20 points this season in mid March!
You pays your money and all that but personally I think you lose a bit of credibility in the argument if you leave at halftime, albeit I get the frustration. I agree we were nailed on to lose but stranger things have happened and I consider I'm literally there as a supporter to support the team regardless of the circumstances. And I think fans often misrepresent players (at every level) as not trying when often they actually lack confidence, skill, motivation etc.

Based on your response above, anybody who doesn't stay the full 90+ minutes and unconditionally support the team has no (or limited) credibility?

Surely then it's the managers job to instill that confidence, improve the skill levels by coaching properly and provide the motivation to go out and perform.
All of which are beyond our manager whose a complete failure in all those aspects.

I stayed to the end, purely to boo the useless manager, sporting director, owners, chairman, managing director and players. Otherwise I’d of left at half time when the writing was on the wall….
