Andy O'Brien

i think that he should be played, so what if he said some things that the fans didnt like and that he regret at a later date, but give him another chance i say, then after a few more games, give him time to redeem himself we might see a better player...

Do you think that he will be booed or clapped?

I'll clap him personally

i think boo'd but it will stop after a few games... if he proves himself to be a team player then people will he clapping.

anybody booing is a moron who obv doesnt have internet access

I reckon it'll depend on how informed the crowd are about the circumstances surrounding him not playing.

If many are aware, then i can see him getting huge support.

Either way, if he's picked again and back in the team, then for me he should get clapped. Right now i reckon the players need support, not abuse or booing. I firmly believe much of the problems stem from coaching, not their ability as much. The players we've got in the squad now are more or less what we have until the end of the season - surely we need to encourage them?

We lost and lost badly last night. But lets be honest, for significant periods we were better or at least as good. We were undone by a 6'7 freak (apologies to any tall people typing on here). Take him out of the equation and i don't reckon we'd have got anything worse than a draw.

^^ True, as much as i would like to say he will be clapped, i dont think he will, personally i will be clapping though.

..........

Probably quite a decent number of a fans

I will clap him and support him 100%

If Bates can forgive him what type of a person is a fan who can't?

Agree that we were the better side for much of the game also.

I wont boo him…I think the whole thing has been treated stupidly and people have done wrong. We need to draw a line under it and support him.

BUT all those saying the Bates Out chants during the game has to stop cos its affecting the players, I hear it once during the first hour and it was only a smattering from the Kop end, a few voices, other than that they got behind the team and were treated by watching that. They just aren’t good enough.

We were the better side for half an hour in the first half, after that they showed their strengths and played to them. We quite simply didn’t. Would not surprise me if they went up this season.
