... Not the players & the coaches. I understand the extreme disappointment to yesterday’s result, but some of the posts on this forum have been disgraceful.
The boys are going through a difficult period, our form has dipped and clearly the pressure is getting to some. Now is the time when they need our help. And given how superb they have been for most of this season, getting behind them is the least we can do.
We’ve bounced back from two losses at the start of the season, losses at home to Leeds & West Brom, the meltdown away at Villa and battled through the adversity of the red cards vs Blackburn & Brentford. We’ve also earned some marvellous wins, including over our promotion rivals. We can still do it!
Our boys deserve much more respect. They will give it everything they have got and we need to do what we can to try and lift them. What’s happened in the past to other Sheffield United teams in promotion / play-off challenges is irrelevant and has no bearing on our fate this season.
We have overachieved and are still in with a chance of going up. Some of the pessimism and abuse written by a handful of posters is insulting. I hope the players don’t read the vile you write and you’re the last people I’d want alongside me in the trenches. Don’t turn your back on the lads when they need us more than ever now.
If you really feel that defeatist and want to have a good moan, please don’t turn up against Forest on Friday. I don’t want any part of your negativity, and the players certainly don’t need it either.
We’ve come a long way, we just need to stick together and get behind them. I’ve got my tickets for Stoke and I’ll be going to cheer the boys on and show my appreciation regardless if we’re out of the race.
Clearly it’s going to be tough now, but some of you are an embarrassment for chucking the towel in. Suck it up, dust yourselves down and support the team.
