There's been youth players that fans have taken to and youth players who have never really got the crowd on side.
At the moment I'd say the crowd seems pretty supportive of Andy O, Tomkinson, Gibbs and Idah. More so than if we'd bought them (imo).
The Murphy's were well liked, tho it did fray a bit as they didn't really kick on.
And our young goalies have always been backed (see Barden recently), in what is traditionally quite a tricky role for a young player.
To boomerang it back around, I'd have said that Todd has had quite a lot of backing from the crowd over the years (and there's still loads who want him to do well) - but that has petered out a bit over the last 18 months - it's not clear what's gone on, but it's been clear that something's not been right - in the absence of any info the crowd will fill in the gaps, probably unfairly.
I wish him all the best, but I'd still have said we're quite a supportive side for young players.
