Midway through the 2nd half some so called supporters started to have a go at 1 or 2 of the Town players because things weren't going to plan and in particular the abuse was aimed at Mike Sheron, singing songs along the lines of Sheron Off not only destroy the confidence of the player but the rest of the team also. They also aimed abuse at Kevin Street as he warmed up by shouting that he'll be on the dole next season etc etc. The really annoying thing is that after 80minutes the same said supporters were singing Sherons name and rejoicing because he scored the equaliser. My message to these 'fans' is get off the players backs and support in a positive manner - we are still fighting a relegation battle and derisory and derogatory comments are not welcome and not wanted. As for Mike Sheron - well done to you sir for making the morons eat humble pie and as for Kevin Street - well based on Jamie Tolleys performance tonight he certainly deserves a chance.

Deadly serious - some of the 'singing' tonight aimed at Mike Sheron was embarassing and I felt for the guy - OK, he didn't set the world alight but he tried and if he's not getting the service from others around him then it's hard. As for the abuse hurled at Kevin Street - it was disgraceful, Kevin has done absolutely nothing to warrant such comments. So called supporters - a minority few that just haven't got a clue!!

I'm shocked That is just NOT the way to encourage the lads to get back into the game. Who was it? Who are these morons? I'm just speechless, actually- after all Gary's said, after all the great atmosphere at the game on Saturday. I'm absolutely 100% behind Gary Peters when he says the supporters can turn the game around. We've seen them do better- if they were garbage- you REMIND them that they have done better- and Can do better. You don't go dishing out the personal attacks like that. I hope Gary Peters says something about it, I really do. As for saying that to Streety- that's just plain nasty and well- it's just downright scummy behaviour, quite honestly. I can't believe it- after all the Away Supporters did for us last week- and now this!

I can t believe this thread.Bloody hell if you want to watch cack like this every time we travel away ,thats your choice but i don t .I want to travel away just occasionally and think we re in with a chance here ,not see a team like mid table Cheltenham run the show for 80% of the time.As for Sheron .Ok i cheered when he scored the goal but God help us if he gets a contract at the end of the season. Players deserve the cheers when they do something right .I would say that we are very lucky to still have such an away following given the abysmal performances of the past years.

But how can u single out Sheron, they were all crap, Tolley was the most disapointing, thought our MOM was Cowan, looked comfortable with the ball very useful. Cheltenham were robbed...........

I'm not questioning the performance, you are right when you say it was poor, and no I don't want to watch that standard of football week in week out. Songs aimed at slagging players off are going to do nothing to improve the standards though, are they? What angers me are the moronic few who slate certain players, Sheron in particular, and then within minutes are cheering him on as if he's the best thing since sliced bread. Very short memory spans indeed. Remember we are still hovering just above the drop zone and the players need support, even when things are going wrong and the team performance is below par. Can anybody honestly say that idiotic singing like that and taunts to transfer listed substitutes are good for moral & confidence because if they do then they are bigger morons than I and many others thought.

Over 700 people for a pretty poor performance
Sheron was very poor tonight except for the goala nd a shot just afterwards
I didn't hear any singing aimed at Sheron or Kevin Street

Its a fine line between cheers and boos.
If it hadn't been for that 8 minute spell in the second half, where we had our only goalscoring opportunity in the whole match, then I have no doubt that the team would have been booed off.
To be honest, they deserved it. nobody shone, Hart had a few good saves, but looked dodgy at times, the defence were "adequate" and in doing so, stopped them from scoring a hatful, but in many cases only from last ditch lunges.
Midfield were anonymous, never won a second ball in the whole game, our passing and movement out of defence looked totally amateurish.
As for the 3 up front. They never had any decent service, so were unlikely to trouble their defence.
A couple of times tonight, we needed Sedge, for free kicks. Tolleys attempt was pure cack.
still. at least we got a point. thats the main thing.

O.K.- yeah- I suppose I can't say much when I didn't go.
I remember getting annoyed at Leigh last season, because they only drew against a very poor team.
I saw them, then. Tonight I didn't- so I suppose I can't judge.
Sometimes I imagine how people like Streety feel. Not funny to be reminded you could be on the dole.
It's a woman thing, I guess- empathy.
Probably has no place in the tough world of Football. They've got to take the flak if they were really so bad, I suppose. I rest my case.

So What in hells name did Streety do wrong whilst on the bench Diggerdave, as for Sheron, coming into a side thats struggling must be a cruise, especially for a player that hasn't played for ages. (5 games Wiggy ) We have been cack away all season, its been like a disease, why? well if anyone has had the answer they have kept it flamin quiet....At least tonight turned into a point, i'll take a point rather than a good game and no points at all. 99.9% of the away supporters are fantastic, they have managed to make so much noise and fantastic support they are very much appreciated not just by the team but by people like me who are unable to go.. So Streety never even got on to the pitch?!! You said 5 games- right!!! I, too, felt he'd score tonight. I've sometimes heard the away supporters over the radio, and it's just terrific! We DO appreciate them, don't we? I'd go to a lot more away matches myself, but, being honest- it can be a cash-flow issue!! I'd love to go, if I could! Tonight I wouldn't listen to Radio Shropshire, I was just too tense-yet I really was quite optimistic. I just thought, HOPED that they'd be "up for it" like they were on Saturday. Obviously, they weren't.

I dont think Street did come on.... well i didn't see him. Thought Addaggio and Aiston were our only subs. As for the chanting well all the supporters could see what was going to happen, and whilst its not right to shout abuse at players it is damn frustrating to constantly see them come second to every ball, lose most challenges, not challenge for a header, have no pace, no width etc..... Oh and sorry Paul, big woppey doo, sheron was standing on the line for the free kick (which was where he was obviously supposed to be) and happened to head the ball off the line

yeah, but its nothing to shout home about. It was a standard free kick, and if he hadnt been there Langmead or someone else would have been to perform the simple task, I say simple, but I recall Kieran Dyers struggles to complete this task competantly...

there were loads singing abuse in the "shed".the same people who have a go at fellow supporters who don,t sing. we seem to be getting a lot of unpleasant people at away games at the moment.
Sheron saved a goal and scored one,he also came nearest to getting a winner,thats more than most of the team did between them.

Exactly 120,000 or whatever in the Nou Camp Millions watching at home and he is watching pigeons fly past as the ball sails in, genius

At the end of the day, you support during the game not have a go at them, what good will that do exactly??!
You boo the s**tters at the end of the game if required.

so they could see us coming away with an important away point? Unnecesarily flippant comment Whitters. The point being made, as you well know, was that everyone watching last night could see a Cheltenham goal being scored after almost constant pressure and little in the way of tactics on our part in which to relieve that pressure. No one on the away terrace could have predicted us coming away with anything so woeful was the performance, grateful though we were at the end.

Yet these same supporters called for Tolley off and Aiston on only for Sam to fail to be the outlet we desperately needed in the second half. Just why did Sam not see anything of the ball???
