Maybe not the best way to spend a couple of hours but I wanted to watch all the goals we've conceded this season to see how many came from obvious mistakes.
Every team has their own hard-luck stories but there are so many where we should have done better. Couple of crackers scored against us too - Swift's superb free-kick for Reading the best of them.
Too many soft goals from set-pieces; Shipley leaving a Bristol City player unmarked from a corner in the opening game setting the tone.
Most frustrating are the ones where we've needlessly played the ball around at the back, or across the defence. At one point, four of five goals scored against us were penalties, too.
Hyam and Wilson are involved in plenty, a couple of errant Sheaf passes led to goals, and there's a fair few from McFadzean thrown in.
The majority do come from down the left but it doesn't stand out as being obvious; plus McCallum was playing right-back in some early games.
Low points for me: Biamou's pass backwards in the closing seconds at Forest; both goals v Norwich and the second goal at Luton.
