I fully agree with this. I'll always remember the Derby away game a couple of seasons back where we were quite loud but got completely drowned out by the Derby fans as they were chasing a winner. You could tell it had a huge impact on their players, and I'd argue our immediate near-silence after conceding the 2nd this weekend may have had an impact on ours as well. If we audibly give up as fans, you'll feel it on the pitch for sure.

On a slight tangent, a worrying trend for me at recent away days has been that certain sections of our fans (that I don't see around our bit of the ET) increasingly sing some pretty offensive anti-traveller, misogynistic, or poverty-based chants. I never remember this being a huge issue, and it's made the people I go with (some of whom I have to convince to come to lower league football games) quite uncomfortable and some are unlikely to come again. Adding to this, the random chants of "paedo", especially when directed at the opposition's mascot who is clearly trying to wind us up is just a bit... pathetic. When the teams came out, their mascot immediately came running over to us, and instead of cheering for our team we started bashing him, which I'm certain is entirely the point of them doing it, to distract us. Worked like a charm.
