Different kind of pressure though, playing in front of 35,000 or whatever Highbury was then, and where you're expected to win every game. All we ask for of our players is to try their hardest and show some passion. Not to much to ask is it?
I can understand players going to United, like Liam Miller, and being crushed by the expectancy etc, but not in League one!

I wouldn't bracket all of those players together... of all of our current players I'd say Pook gets the roughest deal because a lot of fans' minds our made up about before he even takes to the field. There are fans who sit behind me and tut if he's brought on, or slate him before he's even kicked it. The 'abuse' at Aljofree and McGovern were reactions to both players having a stinker.
And one of those players you mention is the perfect example for our current lot. Alan Reeves turned it round and he was treated far worse than any of our current players are. Same with Jerel.
Bobby Howe was just rubbish!

you said "all we ask for" though juddie, and that isn't the case.
some town fans are harsh on players imo.

Does anyone actually think JPM and Aljofree have given 100% this season and in JPMs case carry that over to last season as well? Have they tried as hard as Jack Smith - I don't think so? I don't think anyone can accuse Pook, Reeves or Ifill of giving anything less than 100% As for Howe - crap and a bottler - all that for £5k a week. |

No, JPM doesnt. Neither did Christian Roberts at times. Jamie Cureton was also half arsed. Ill feeling comes from a lot of things. Bobby Howe and Mark Robinson it was about their wages. Hewlett and Duke was frustration because they were blatently the weak links in an otherwise good team. Aljofree because hes the worst captain weve ever had. |

I will defend Aljofree a bit here - Seagraves. |
