Daniel Johnson

Daniel Johnson

The jeers and boos and chants should be aimed at the executive area. But, it's just another example of how the typical Facebook group fan sees things. The players & manager will always get the brunt of any complaints.

Such fans also don't generally like hearing guys are on "big" money. They resent it and will hold the grudge. This general malaise tinged with bitterness at North End seems to be stained into the fabric of the whole place.

Johnson's 50k chant is very symbolic. Its what some fans would prefer us to remain. A club that never spends any money. Proud of it's cheapness. They seem to want to be forever small time, much like our owners.

Behave lol. Why would people be cheering Parrotts return from injury? He’s done nowt to warrant it

And jeering when it was DJ’s name was announced and nothing when Parrott actually came on

Because it's a nice, supportive thing to do. We're the Gentry.

Nah, that’s why we applaud opposition players off for having a half-decent game

We choose to jeer off our own players with 300 appearances for the club. Sums up a good chunk of our fanbase

In the Moyes era, I used to love the look of absolute confusion/horror on their face when the opposition goalkeeper was running towards the Town End goals prior to kick-off, and being actually applauded....

Rubbish. Jeering your own player off is pathetic, however they’ve performed

Cheering and applauding an under performing team is just as pathetic and can lead to manager and players thinking they are doing OK. RL said recently that there were only 3 or 4 poor performances this season when fans are disagreeing

Indeed, it wasnt a good look when Lowe implied the jeering was the effect of alcohol, either.

I get being annoyed at a player's performance but never boo them off, you look like a right twat if you do.

Yes, but the two guys mentioned are not playing there part the team will then suffer as it did 0-4
Contrast Ewood Park the tone set in the first minute, whole team at it, 1-4 win.
I am afraid the management set the team and tactics so the buck stops with Lowe.

If you think the players came off the pitch after losing 4-0 to Norwich thinking they did a good job, then I don’t know what to say to you. They will know full well they’ve underperformed

People again putting too much stake in Lowe’s attempts to keep things positive. He doesn’t actually believe the crap he comes out with, he’s just trying to keep to his Mr Motivator schtick

Ive never booed my own players at Deepdale, however theres many times ive sat with my arms folded when players have been subbed.

Ive never left the ground early as often as i have this past few seasons, now i just cant be bothered going.

I always stay to the bitter end, apart from maybe 3-4 times since the 90s. I came close on Saturday, it was that bad.

Jeering/boo'ing is embarrassing though. He has been a brilliant servant for us. Just a shame he's been crap for the best part of 2 years.

I'm just wondering if that's when he had his latest negotiated pay rise ( I dunno ) - and since then, he's just not been giving it 100 that many times. Coincided with Neil's last crappy year.

Unless he gets the clincher penalty in the Wembley PO this time, this chant should be quietly forgotten. imo

Yup 8.5 years service. That's the kind of reward you get at North End. Jeered of the pitch and suggestion for his chant to be cancelled.

DJ has been poor this season. Don't get me wrong. Not a shot on target. But, I think the tactics and team selection are largely to blame for that.

We were not gonna offer him a contract renewal (on terms he'd accept) even if he scored 10+ goals and was POTY. The financial highlights dictated that.

And you can guarantee his replacement won't ever match the highs DJ did whilst here. But he'll be cheaper. And that's what matters.
