Obviously we all know our performances and results have been poor so far this season. The table don't lie of course. But do you think that there would have been any difference with our position in the table - if we had fans in the ground? (Before anyone suggests this, I am not using 'no fans in the ground' as any kind of excuse for our current situation)
We've heard many times down the years from players and managers, who mention our fans as being the 12 man and its like we give them an extra 10% out on the pitch, especially during home games. And we've even heard opposition managers say they want to keep us quiet. Do you think some players are just going through the motions and acting like its some sort of reserve game as there is no positive/negative pressure from a crowd of fans? Some of our players haven't experienced how vocal we are on match days yet and some players probably don't have much, if any, experience of playing in front of crowds full stop. Some would probably s**t themselves when they experience us and some could thrive on it.
Im not sure if this has been discussed on here, so forgive me if it has. Games in the top league have sound effects for crowd noises and chants, which is playing in the background during the match, to make it feel like the players are playing in front of a crowd. Do you think we should try something like this?

We’re a bunch of moaning bar stewards, probably would’ve made things worse.

Totally agree. If fans had been at the Mem this season, the whole situation would have been ugly. Players would have dreaded playing at home. In truth, expectations were higher than the accumulation of 12 points in 12 games.

Then again BG would probably have got the boot sooner and we might have been able to then persuade Nigel Clough to join us or, if not, Tisdale may have been appointed before the transfer window closed. Tis was now got a major task on his hands trying to get results with one fit striker and one inexperienced defencive CM, plus a squad seemingly devoid of confidence and with little L1 experience.

Good point actually. I think the lack of fans kept Garner in the job for as long as he was.

Not just devoid of confidence and little experience. I think the squad is significantly devoid of character. By that I mean players who are real battlers and make things really difficult for their opposition. A team in short that displayed the character of GC's side. By the way that does not mean in any way that I'm canvassing for GC. I'm happy with the appointment of PT but he needs to grab the playing squad by the scruff of their collective necks and get them to show some fight.

Same here , I’ve cancelled all my sports packages and watched one gas game live and thought how terrible it was without the crowd noise , i actually found it really boring. I can’t wait to get back to the mem.

It just seems surreal, a defeat is a defeat and it’s almost like it doesn’t matter, if I was at the game I’d be fuming.
