I wonder if Town would have achieved promotion if some fine margins in the first Sunderland away game and the QPR away game hadn’t swung our way. Or the Town fans reaction to the home Leeds loss hadn’t looked for the positives in what was a drubbing.
McKenna’s comments post match on Town TV were on the money, game came a little early for us (been a tough window), their press and the atmosphere combined with a poor quality and scrappy game meant we didn’t get our patterns of play going till after their goal.
But the late equaliser and the ability for the players to get such a positive reaction from the away end is massive. Could be a moment.
We’ll look a different team in a few weeks, Cajuste, Young, Philogene, Akpom. So we need to stick with the manager and players and give them some unconditional and rabid support on Sunday.
If we lose Sunday it’s not the end of the world - yes I know the home fans are starved of goals and points - no points in 2025!! But I can see a meltdown coming, which may impact the season, those knife edge moments.
There’s a real risk the Town fans contribute to the season flipping the wrong way.
Around me in the away end after Brum scored it got quite toxic, the reaction probably included pent up frustration from last season, and not viewing the game in isolation. And the forum is in part mirroring that.
We had a good pre-season, we know the patterns of play are going to come.
Time for support not unjustified panic!
Judge the team end of September, not after two games against two of the strongest teams.
We ain’t gonna walk this, back the team, manager and project with some vocal support.
