Newcastle

At Newcaslte on Saturday I actually felt I had stepped back in time to a place where our fans actually supported the team.

There might have only been a few hundred but they got behind the team and appreciated the performance, which gave me a lot of hope for the future.

We looked dangerous every time we went forward, a view shared by my Geordie mates. If it hadn’t been for Krul and one bad decision by Hugo we wold have won at a canter. I am also taking into accunt another poor referee who should have shown a red card to Leon Best in the first half for a nasty tackle on Figs.

At the end of the game both fans and players showed their appreciation and this season must turn in our favour soon with performances like that. The players obviously enjoyed the support and with that kind of passion behind them they will continue to improve.

But I expect that a lot of our supporters (not a majority) will be only too happy to cry and boo at the next home match. This does nothing to help what it essentially a very young and talented team. Why would any young player with potential want to stay at Latics?

Bob is doing a sound job and it is only the boo boys who are whining about him sticking to his tactics. A lot of the Geordies I spoke to are envious of our manager and his beliefs. It is difficult to accept that we have lost a lot of matches but it is only a matter of time before results change for the better, imo.

I fear that the darkside will now attempt to hound Bob out of the club with demonstrations and abuse. This makes me sad because I truly love this club and I think we face a real uphill struggle to stay in a league that does not particularly want us. Booing and jeering will not help young players’confidence. We need to stick together and give them support against these teams who have more money and in matches in which the officials clearly afraid to give decisions against the bigger teams.

I support Wigan Athletic. I am proud of Wigan Athletic. We may have suffered six defeats in a row but we certainly have not deserved to lose in those matches and I feel the odds are now stacked against us in many areas.

We are under siege from a lot of people outside this club. Lack of support from inisde the DW is no help whatsoever.
