I was just to one side of the group that drew the response from Nuttall. Everyone was groaning at the way he failed to notice two players superbly placed for a pass and tap in. Instead he opted to have a go himself and fluffed it. Given the previous missed opportunities it is understandable that fans would be frustrated. Half a dozen near me told him to switch on and open his eyes or words to that effect. I don’t like to see players pilloried or even harshly criticised but these supporters had paid their money and were entitled to offer their views and express themselves. There was NO racism involved. ( And if you weren’t there Siderite then maybe pulling out the ‘ever so virtuous’ racism speculation should have been left to those who were). What Joe did was totally unprofessional …. and maybe an expression of his own frustration with himself as much as anyone. There should be a fulsome apology and explanation of his failure before he ever plays for us again … but if that happens then fans should forgive, forget and everyone move on.
