This is one of my big bug bears on the new generation of players. Headphones on and ignore fans. Costs nothing g to sign a couple of autographs, say hello and the children you meet will remember it forever.

Majority of the Blues players yesterday arriving at Rotherham barely acknowledging the fans and looking down. Not the right mentality from the off yesterday. Eustace the only one to come over to the fans, says a lot!

Devastated to hear the news that Whitts has passed away. Terrible that he has lost his life at such a young age. A Bluebirds legend and privileged to have played on the same team as him. A great player but more importantly a wonderful human being.
