I'm not going to get into too much detail but if we are going to blame the manager/players, the fans need to take some of the blame as well. I'm not going into detail but here are two things, both on and off the pitch that the fans could improve on to give a little bit of help 1. Actually produce an atmosphere at the Bridge - I'm sorry, but the last two games against Fulham and Villa was some of the worst support I have ever seen at the Bridge. It was so quiet and so dead that even the away fans seemed to be subdued by the lack of atmosphere. We seriously need to kick up it 8 or 9 notches to get the place rocking. The best thing it can do is at least put more pressure on the players to give a damn. We saw against City how it can hype the players up when the crowd is rocking 2. Cut the sentimental bullshit with some of the players. As seen around this forum, there is far too much sentiment to, let’s be honest, people kicking a ball around a pitch and earning £100,000 pounds for doing so. Anyone who criticises players like Lamaprd and Drogba for shit performances game after game is scorned for apparent "lack of respect". Yet it seems the only way to solve our problems is to get rid of the old guard so and bring youth to the squad. Yet some people cry foul when you dare mention the idea of selling someone like Drogba or Lampard. I'm sorry, but you can appreciate what they have achieved after they have left. But seeing them not give a damn and still getting paid week after week is unacceptable for me. And at the moment the only way to solve this is to get rid of them unless they can give more consistent performances that actually help us win points. So in my view some fans need to get over this idea that they should stay with us and plan for the future. No more angry outburst when criticising players occurs, no tears when people start thinking that some of the old guard leaves. Its best for the team and we can’t start until fans stop thinking of past glories and refusing to accept that many of the players we love are done. I seem to remember Bruce Buck saying that they did not want to sell Drogba because it would upset the fans (correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m sure I saw a report somewhere doing the summer) which is just frankly ridiculous.
