The crowd being responsible for Arfield not being able to pass the ball five yards.. I've heard it all now. Were we also responsible for the demise of Keigan Parker and Kwame Houdouto ? .. And how did Beckham manage to forge a career for himself after people burning effigies of him post France 98 ? Being responsible, and encouraging are two separate things. Encouragement can produce serious improvement in some players and similarly, criticism can have the reverse effect. There is a hard core of supporters who for some unfathomed reason are against Ward, and it is them that my wrath is directed against, not you! Ward was the darling of the crowd for ages. I cant remember him being much better then! Couldn't agree more that a negative crowd can have adverse effects on players. And that town fans are guilty of that. But I doubt any more guilty than other clubs. Part of being a pro footballer is having the mentality to overcome adverse crowds. Do you think Ward wants to play in the prem? Of course he would. But then there may be 30, 50 or even 70 000 people giving him an adverse reaction. Its not right but the mentality side is .. rightly or wrongly, as important as being able to shoot straight. Its how you respond. Some players have a "prove you wrong" attitude, some curl up into a ball. If you are saying Ward is in the latter camp maybe he would benefit from some kind of psychological counselling. Cos as sure as eggs are eggs, football crowds wont change within the life of his career, not at HTFC or anywhere

If you look at the number of goals and points Vaughn will win for town and not the amount of games he will miss you will agree we are better off with him than without him

Negative Chimp paradox so players like Patton can control it more and not let the chimp influence the behaviours.
