Peter Taylor admitted that the Valley Parade boo boys were right to heckle him and his team.

Angry fans vented their fury after Saturday’s home loss to Morecambe dumped City into the bottom two.

Taylor’s team were booed off at half-time and at the end of their sixth loss in the opening ten League Two games. And once again they failed to add to their tally of only four goals.

The City boss said: “I’m the first one to say booing isn’t right if the players are doing everything they can.

“But I thought Morecambe worked harder than us, ran around more than us and looked the better. In that respect, it was justified.

“I do agree with what the supporters are saying. They are very frustrated and I’m 100 per cent with them. I’m amazed as much as they are.

“I’m the manager who picked the players, so I suppose it’s my fault, but the ones who are playing at the minute are not doing as well as I expected.”

Omar Daley hit the post with City’s first attack but they failed to kick on and were beaten by a solitary strike from Paul Mullin, who had been on loan at the club under Stuart McCall.

Taylor said: “We seem to be a team that has to start well to have a good 90 minutes. That shouldn’t be the case.

“We were flat and the players didn’t look confident. It was the opposite to what happened on Tuesday night (against Rotherham).

“It’s not an easy one to work out but you never know what type of player’s going to turn up. It’s very frustrating.

“The last six matches of last season we were playing confidently, we were playing well in front of the crowd and handling every situation. But this year has been the opposite.”

Taylor gave debuts to Manchester United youngsters Reece Brown and Oliver Gill but left Tommy Doherty on the bench to mend his injured ankle.

The City boss said: “Every time he kicks the ball it opens the joint up. The supporters haven’t seen Tom 100 per cent fit yet, he’s probably 70 per cent.

“But the physio said that a week off would help him. I wanted to take that chance.

“I thought the two young boys from Man United did fine. But it’s not easy to come into our team at the minute because we are very low on confidence.”

Michael Flynn will make his first appearance with a half-hour run-out in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy at Hartlepool tomorrow night. He has been sidelined with a groin injury which also needed a double hernia operation.

Taylor said: “I still think he’s training within himself and hasn’t stretched out. That’s the big worry.”
