Your comments about Dunn are spot on. The lad made a couple of good saves and has to put up with ironic cheering afterwards. Annoyed me

good post krux. I wasn't at the game a family commitment prevented me attending. very disappointed to read there was ironic cheering again. Confidence is everything gained by the inch and lost by the mile. Whether we rate a player or not when they are on the pitch we need to be behind them not undermining confidence. I agree with you it is annoying and baffling.

Absolutely no need for it when he's playing well. I understand it after he's made an error which has led to a goal, but not after he's made saves to keep us comfortably in the lead.

If only he could perform like this consistently.

Let's hope it's not another ten years til the next home game!

Have a look and see if any of the hecklers have printed copies from some of the threads that give them some ideas of what they can boo/jeer about and common phrases to shout at players.

Unbelievable. Next home game I am going to use the following... Come on guys you just need time to gel.....conditions are bad so don't try and catch the ball.........ah well its just not our day......great cross you assist machine.

Get the positivity out there

Dunn does regularly make good saves. Usually at least one a game. My problem with him is that the mistakes he makes (also regularly) are fairly fundamental things and at his age and experience level those things aren't going to change. He's much better than someone like Coughlin but if we can get better we should. The Coddington rumours are interesting and could just be wishful thinking. Although young he's head and shoulders above Dunns level.

Nice one PAGL, you know it makes sense lol, but booing our own players or jeering their names is counter productive.

Agree and have never booed a player.
