Displaying passion is welcome. However, if some of them were racist to Nuttall, then those fans don’t deserve any backing.
I would have thought that had there been any racist abuse, one of the 700-odd police officers in that corner would have heard it and reacted accordingly.
I have no problem with Nuttall being crap but I’ve not seen a striker who moves so little. Wilson was harrying their defence at every opportunity – partly how he got his goal – whilst Nuttall would barely make a run into the box unless he already had the ball. I thought it was interesting that when Feeney came on, he immediately started pressing the defenders and showing some work rate. Honestly, Torpey moved more than Nuttall.
I didn’t even hear any particularly noticeable criticism/abuse of Nuttall from the terrace until he flicked them the Vs or whatever. I did see him stomp down the tunnel when subbed & rip his shirt off. I seem to remember it took a long time to get his transfer finalised, was that down to our club or him holding out for a better offer? You do wonder if he really wants to be here, heading for the Conference next season.
