100% Support For The Team Nothing Less

Its been said before this week, but a gentle reminder is still in order for this afternoons game against Swansea City.

At times like this football teams need their 12th man, the backing from their supporters that is undivided loyalty, once the game kicks off it needs to be total support for the team, no songs about the chairman or Matt Le Tissier, just backing for the team.

Apparently at West Brom there was at least one fight between supporters about various decisions made on the pitch and that isnt good and helps no one, the team, manager and certainly not those involved who could now be facing criminal charges and lengthy bans.

We as supporters need to be focused on backing the 11 players on the pitch for the full 90 minutes and to be pedantic injury time too, even if the game doesnt go well it isnt an excuse to to get on the backs of certain players, we should be encouraging them, even if we went two behind then we wouldnt be the first team to come back from that and win a game, we have even done it ourselves on a number of occasions.

If the crowd get behind the team it can give them that extra lift needed and be the difference, a season isnt over till the fat lady sings as they say, well lets make sure that for the meantime at least she is drowned out by the noise of the crowd.
