Apologies for a under par performance today. Thanks to the 3 fans who didn't boo until the 88th minute. Quality 😂👍
I for one think he should be thanking fans. I am seriously beginning to dislike this guy as he should be more respectful of the fans and club! Am I mistaken?
Agree there have been those who have always targeted him negatively, and those who love him no. Matter what. He seems to be the kind of individual that can split opinion.
I would cringe at the comments when I frequented the west and north stands. I have heard nothing in the east stand of note.
It's pretty much a lost cause to change fan behaviour, but I'd like to think the professional paid by the club could restrain himself and set an example.
To be honest I think he had a bad game but also he is being played out of position, getting the ball on the right when he is so one footed is not going to get the best results.
I would agree with that. Even in the lower leagues he could often look way off the pace one game, while a world beater the next and it invariably came down to left v right side.
I notice how the team in general no longer is setting up as often to play to his strengths, which usually involves an overlap produced from a triangle with Prings then whipping the ball in from an acute angle.
In general, and at all levels, we see managers persisting in playing footballers outside their natural positions and it seems always to be unpopular and never to work. I'd be interested if anyone can think of exceptions?
In Pringles case EVO has given him this free role (previously employed at times in L1 and L2).
What caught my eye against town was how good he was at going past players down the right but how woeful the support was and obviously he hasn't got much at all in his right peg.
When he ran centrally likewise, he couldn't get any space underneath his feet to do anything and got robbed time and again.
In contrast, down the left hand side he only managed a couple of crosses all game but mainly from deeper areas.
I do wonder what instruction he has because his strengths certainly aren't being utilised.
You can actually have a bad game and still have a laugh about it. He was using sarcasm perhaps.
As I have always said, he has the best left foot in the FL 1 and 2 and probably is in the top 5 in the championship. He is a poor defender, average midfielder and world class with his left foot. Yes he had a bad one. I can assure you that booing him will not make him better.
He needs to stop chasing impossible balls and take the blinkers off when defending. Wait for the person he is marking to get rid or make a mistake. When he has the ball I have no advice for him other than try and get wide and on the left, then do what you are best at.
He reminds me of myself when defending. Used to dive in and tackle. Works fine at the lower levels but just puts you off balance and allows good players to waltz around you.
Sorry Ben, but you've been poor the last 3 games or so. The apology is good, but ditch the sarcastic comments. The only way to shove the boos back down their throats is to play a blinder. This attitude does your cause no good at all.
Agreed, but over the past few games he's the one who's been consistently poor. He's a good player who just needs resting. I'm sure he'll respond to being dropped today.
I hope the boo boys don't chase this quality player away. There's a few of the boo boys near me. Used to have a go at Evans until he won back to back promotions. Currently it's Pringle but I'm sure Evo is ready for it to return to him.
These people are absolute losers and sure to be very unsuccessful in their own lives. I hate em with a vengeance. How on earth does booing a player make him better? NO player sets out to play poorly.

Spot on...Good post.
It's not a good post!..players sign contracts and earn wages, the notion that they will leave suddenly after someone boos them is abject stupidity, this is football not play school
