Michael Chopra and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas have hit back at Town fans who have been critical of the Blues after a start to the season which sees them sitting in 23rd in the Championship. Are they right to feel maligned?
Last night, striker Chopra claimed, in a series of tweets which were subsequently deleted after bad-tempered exchanges with a number of fans, that TWTD commenters "don't have a clue about football”, adding: "The proper fans have been amazing, standing by the team that's underperformed last season and at times this season but we will get things right in the end people.
"[Don’t] forget we've only played six games and we are only two wins off the play-offs.”
Emmanuel-Thomas criticised fans on Twitter in pre-season and expressed his frustration with some supporters on the micro-blogging site again last night: "I will stop interacting with fans all together until the sad ones grow up and stop tweeting garbage towards us. Apologies to all the good fans.”
Is Chopra right to feel that fans are overreacting to the first six games of the season? Is JET correct to feel that the criticism of players on Twitter goes too far? Add your thoughts below.
