Freaking hit the bar vs Barnsley and now vs Brentford. No luck. Only deciding to play after we go 1 or 2 goals down in every game. We look shell-shocked in many games and totally devoid of any confidence.

Beforehand it was “fully expecting to lose, they are virtually a premiership team” etc (which is fair enough), but then when we do lose- as expected- it turns into a massive psychotic pile on- everyone is shit, sack robins, terrible signings, there is no perspective whatsoever. They are way better than us, just like Bournemouth were, and just like we all knew they were before the match. The reactions to something everyone was saying they knew was coming are just bloody crazy 😜
Maybe because you want to see some fight from the team, there's no organisation no one making runs noone making passes u9s play better than this.

It’s the aspects of the performance which I’ve picked out and are the same as weeks ago.

I get that, however it’s not that easy when you’re playing a team who are clearly much better than you, and prove it within about 90 seconds of the kick off. It’s shit to watch but as long as they don’t start getting totally demoralised it’s not going to make or break the season.

I haven’t complained much except for us screwing up the basics. It’s just frustrating to see us make it so easy after toughing out the first half-again

The bit that you constantly fail to get your head around, is that it’s the manner of defeat that pisses people off. If we are outplayed and they score goals from what is just clear superior play then it’s easier to take.

When they are absolute presents it’s infuriating. We don’t need to make it any harder for ourselves than it already is.

Why can’t you understand that? Also, genuine question, who is saying sack robins?

Nobody, he is chatting shit like he always does. Imagines things in his head.

You’re right, some ridiculous posts. We will lose to good teams like Brentford/Bournemouth/Norwich/Watford. And when we beat a poor QPR side, we’re going to make the play-offs. Unbelievable. We will stay up which must be our sim this season. Get a grip, folks. And try reading ‘If’ by Kipling - it’s very appropriate.

I think it was Greggs, but maybe it wasn’t him- someone did in amongst all the screaming

Will say at least they aren’t some scything dirty fuckers like Bournemouth so that aspect of the defeat is refreshing
