Have we, the fans, lost the dressing room?

So now JT is supposed to just forget that?

Sorry to sound all Roy Keane, but yes he should, it's his job and he should get on with it. If my boss criticises any of my work, I don't sulk for the remainder of my time in the job, you suck it up and move on.

Besides, he hasn't been criticised much from what I can tell this season, both in the stadium and on here. Mostly positive about his performances I would say.

The last sentence is bang on

It's a numbers game although some of us cling on to a special fantasy connection as if the players are personally known when in truth walking down the same street wouldn't bat a eyelid. Nobody gives a sh1t that's the reality no delusion then.

So now JT is supposed to just forget that?

Trafford was set up to fail by Kompany. JT made mistakes and although he should take some accountability, the vast majority of the blame lies with Kompany for continuing to play with a high line and insisting we play out from the back no matter how much we were intensely pressed by continuous opposition teams. His confidence was shattered yet week after week he was asked to do the same thing over and over.
There was very little criticism on the ground but plenty on social media sadly. JT probably read some of the online abuse and that would have affected him even more.
Most fans that I know could see that it was mainly on Kompany and either hardly criticised him or didn't criticise him at all.
A minority of fans who are usually the noisiest could only see the mistakes Trafford repeatedly made and criticised him for that but were blind to the fact that it was his boss who kept asking him and his team mates to carry out roles that they were not capable of doing.
So in summary if Trafford wants to understand why some fans were mainly misguided in their frustrations the finger needs to be mainly pointing at Kompany.

You could see from the documentary that the players don't feel supported from the fans.

It's absolutely nothing new, Stan often commented about it when he was manager.

Have we, the fans, lost a sense of reality is probably a more accurate state of affairs.
