Lovely to see the boo boys ripping into old lukas, granted he was not having the best of days but "feck off back to everton" and worse is really gonna help the young lad! Then jevons comes on and is booed when the announcer introduces him! Not forgetting dickinson getting hammered earlier in the season despite a decent goal ratio. I think id think carefully about signing for town! Good job they dont do open days like they do at some firms!! Youd never want to sign after seeing what its like! Boooooo! Your support is fecking shit sang the millwall fans. They werent wrong!

He's probably THE worst striker I've ever see play for town. Jevons on the other hand looked committed and had a good game when he came on. |

Not a boo boy myself but what Lukas, Jevons and to some degree Dicko had in common is that the look completely disinterested. When people don't look as if they're trying that's when the boo-boys start. Town fans will forgive gash players a lot more than lazy ones.

For example, Kamara hasn't ever been booed, because when he plays he gives 100%. He may not be the best but he tries. |

All about How it looks sometimes. Imagine berbatov or adebayor playing for us. Theyd get slaughtered with their languid styles. Your right MT, cant defend his performance but my point is that even proven goalscorers like jevons and dickinson are slaughtered, so what hope for anyone else we sign in the summer?! I love boothy but he gets away with murder. His goalscoring record in his second spell has been apalling, yet i dont hear people abusing him.

Aye i completely agree. I liked Dickinson when he was here even though he was frustrating as hell to watch and dont even think Jevons is as bad as some people make out and could STILL have something to offer. I wouldnt ever boo any of our players but watching that fool wander around the pitch putting in zero effort is about as close as i've ever come.

Then jevons comes on and is booed when the announcer introduces him! Well they should blooming' well score! Come on its not hard, with the quality of our midfield chances are being created as easy as pie, its just OUR strikers CANT take them, or get into decent positions. Why are we pansying about with these lightweight strikers? Just sign the biggest anf strongest attacker we can possibly find. |

That's quite ridiculous to compare Jevons or Lucas to Berbatov. Berbatov can still play well, set goals up and score with his "languid style" You have to be a special kind of player to get away with it. Jevons and Lucas cannot, they are not "languid", they are lazy.
People are less likely to have a go at Boothy because a) his first time here, b) he actually tries and c) because even when not scoring he brings something to the team. Jevons and Lucas if not scoring bring absolutley nothing.
And just to point out again, I don't boo and never have but when it comes to certain players I can sometimes understand it.

I love boothy but he gets away with murder. His goalscoring record in his second spell has been apalling, yet i dont hear people abusing him. I agree with you on Boothy. I despair when Town fans and Keiran O'Regan bang on about how he should start every game... He's a great work horse and idol but his knees have been buggered for 10 years and he can't bend them to shoot anymore and his goal return has been mostly poor since he rejoined. He's missed some absolute sitters - Birmingham at home in the last few mins - a goal would have kept us in the Championship, that chip at Cardiff against Mansfield in the playoffs and the home match against Port Vale last season where he missed an open goal from 3 yards. However his work rate creates space for others and a goalscorer alongside him would have worked ok.... Town fans adore a try hard and thats why messrs Booth and Cadamarteri are crowd favourites. Alongside a tryhard though you need someone with actual footballing ability such as Dickinson and Pav to put the ball in the net and for some reason Town fans hate them... Pav despite scoring 27 goals in 1 season took some shocking stick as did Jon Stead and Martin Smith before them.... It seems if you aren't charging around like a mad man some sections of the support think you're useless but to me it shows a blatant lack of footballing knowledge from the stands. |

Finaaly, people realising jevons isn't that bad after all!
Lukas was poor, but to be fair who was within a mile of him supporting him?!?!

I think any of our strikers would have looked poor with the quality of service today - we had one tactic - the bog boot up the middle from the goalie.. Lukas didn't play well, but I'd like to judge him when we actually play the ball to feet rather than in the air.

At his worst Berbatov is lazy at his best he will create 2 and score 1. That is the difference regardless of the division. Simply we are weak up front. |

We are certainly weak up front, but today and on Tuesday we didn't create alot either. When Clarke first took over we were creating chances but not taking them, now we are struggling to create much, particularly from open play. Then again, when Clarke first took over we were passing and moving. Now we've reverted to the usual hit and hope that we all know and hate.

It's true though. Lots of manure fans rant about Berbatov being 'lazy'. Fans generally like players whose effort is obviously visible - those who run a lot, leap into tackles, etc. Town fans, it seems to me, have always preferred honest triers, even if they aren't that gifted, to those who are more naturally talented but not so obviously wholehearted. If you're a 110 per center carthorse you'll get the love of the Town fans, but if you're gifted and occasionally look a bit lazy, you'll get booed. I don't like it but that's how it's been since I was a kid.

Everyone who has a high paid job in this world has to work hard.
So why dont footballers?
If they all worked hard the crowd would love them. we would actually win something. and the players would gain more money.
its a win win situation.
Yet they still stroll around reckoning on that they have "Gods gift" well you dont! Now F-off!

Everyone has to work hard. But working hard isn't the same as running around a lot, or kicking everything that moves.

Very true. However if you were at work and you weren't hitting your targets and the boss could see you weren't trying very hard either then you would get a caning. If you were missing those targets but putting the graft in then you would have an easier time of it.

You know i like you manc in a sexual way,,, But that is shite. 4-5-1 And what is he ment to do? Everyone called dicko shit and he was awesome in the league above with blackpool.... Lukas could be handy if we support him, but jevons and the likes are not good enough to support. |

I though when Booth came on today it changed the game! We dominated after they scored and got hit on the break because players couldn't be bothered to track back/ the officials are incompetent. I though tactically bringing on Booth worked well.
