He is a great fan and travels a long way to make it.
Experience tonight was blighted by fans around him who swore all night and were so negative about our players.
We have some entitled prats in our fan base.
We can’t expect to boss this league with fans who undermine the team. |  | | |  |

It's always the fans fault over the manager or players. I've learned that much. | |

Do you hear those fans boo when their side lost to multi million ipswich recently, qpr, swansea etc. Entitled or frustrated? expecting 5th place town to beat 17th oxford isn't entitlement. |  |

That's sad to hear, but not sure that the fans were responsible for the 2 soft goals we conceded | | | |

Ah no, we do have some right abusive scrotes following us. I’m sure we’re not alone, but it’s not pleasant to be near them. |  |

Those naughty fans not creating chances and giving the ball away. |  |

Not surprised to be honest on that performance...
I didnt expect us to boss the league from day 1, and at this stage of the season we are not going to. |  | | |

And swearing! | | | |

What did he honestly expect? I was at the game and will admit I spent a lot of time swearing and chastising the play many of the players. It was an awful display and marginally worse than Hull. fans are entitled to express their views like that when they travel the miles and spend the money and get rewarded with that. | | | |

Watch the match and play classical music or rock music using ear buds to get a good effect it will blot out the swearing. | |

Expecting it isn't entitlement but demanding it and throwing your toys out of the pram because it didn't happen definitely is.
It's football, it's two teams over 90+ minutes and there is no pre-determined outcome. If people think there should be, they're watching the wrong sport. |  |

You'll get different reactions to this post, but the votes will give you an insight into how the silent majority feel.
I've been going since the mid 1980s, and it does feel that since the double promotion away days have been spoiled by an element that is fine if we win, but any setback turns them into pretty grim characters to be around. And one week a player is a world beater we'll sell for millions, but the following week they're sh**e and we should give them to Burton Albion on a free transfer.
Spoilt brats who get behind the team if they win, but a draw or a defeat and the gloves come off. |  |

It’s called expectancy, under mick we knew what we were getting so braced ourselves for an away day that was a good day out decent results were a bonus. Now we’re spending millions so rightly expect better!! |  |

Yes but sadly the expectation is that we will win every week.
Last few games are a case in point.
Win 4-1 at QPR. Not much said, happy with the performance.
Draw 1-1 with Watford. Awful, panic, blame, McKenna has no Plan B.
Win 4-1 at Swansea. Not much said.
Draw 0-0 with Wrexham. Awful, panic, McKenna has no plan B.
Win 2-0 at Hull. Not much said. Table looks nice though.
Lose 2-1 at Oxford: These players are sh*te, McKenna has no plan B, owners must be getting worried. Those videos with Ashton about the training ground and stadium are propaganda. Anyone who claps the team off should be banned from Portman Road. | |

Can you imagine if the club was run the way some fans wanted? We’d be sacking managers and replacing the team every 2 weeks. Thankfully those in charge are more emotionally intelligent.
The football is frustrating, but there’s a line between a bit of occasional effing and jeffing and a constant stream of vitriol and the c-word hurled at the players by foam-mouthed Neanderthals (but if that’s how Phil gets his kicks…badum tish). [Post edited 29 Nov 2025 11:53]

We're getting slightly better football than under Mick wouldn't you say?
And when I say slightly better.
I mean in a different stratosphere. | |

It wasn't like that around me.
And at the end, there were no boos, and the remaining fans applauded the players. |  | | |

That first sentence absolutely nails it. Should be a sticky at the top of the forum really. |  |

There's a very obvious reason why there's more said after defeats and it seems to be that any one who is critical of McKenna or the performance is shot down pretty quickly which attracts more and more comments
Of course there's an expectation around the side at the moment, we have spent an awful lot of money, have just come down from the premier league, we're the favourites to go back up and have one of the most wanted managers in English football over the last few seasons
For what it's worth I think there's more to be hopeful about than pessimistic, but I can absolutely see where a lot of the negative comments are coming from at the moment |  | | |

If the people who think this is some sort of new low for the club said positive things when we win, it would be easier to accept their viewpoint. But they rarely do. | |

There was some right nob eds down the front of the stand last night. All kicked off arguing after McAteer's cross/shot thing in the 90th that went out for a throw. Had been brewing all game. Stewards etc got involved. |  | | |
