Depends on the manner of the defeat for me. The Forest away game I was absoultely sick afterwards how we threw that away. It felt unjust and I was mad. Yesterday I was disappointed but there were some positives so I wasn't quite so frustrated.
Was like that for many years. I was always the eternal optimist starting every season believing it would be our year and then seeing it all fall apart year after year. A loss on a Saturday would ruin the weekend and put me in a foul mood.Anyone else?
When we lose I'm in a proper mard with everything and everyone. Ruins my day. Always tell myself its just football but its more than that for us isnt it?
What would u say changed your mindset the most Dave. I could do with adopting it.Was like that for many years.

Think it was the 2012/13 season that changed it for me. Not challenging in L1, even if you ignored the points deduction, and that appalling home leg of the JPT area final were the final straws.
Obviously still want us to win and get annoyed when we don't, especially when we inflict it on ourselves. But now its few minutes being annoyed and moving on.

Think it was just a case of things being so bad with no light at the end of the tunnel!What would u say changed your mindset the most Dave. I could do with adopting it.

It feels alot worse when you average 200 mile round trip every game. And X£s
Morecambe away was worst i ever felt. Took about 8 hours to get home on Sunday. Stuck in snow on M6 around walsall. Wondering crying are we ever gonna get out of league 2.
Sat at home yesterday over it in about 5 mins after the game. Doesnt feel as bad.

Water off a ducks back for me these days.....the longer I go without going to a live game, the less I seem to give a shit.
Watching a BCD game alone on a laptop is a shit way to spend an evening...... I just feel so totally detached from it all.....
Detached is a good description.
I feel like that a lot about the pub and socialising as well. Not all the time, sometimes I really miss it, but nowhere near as much as I thought I would generally.
Still get worked up over football but I've settled into the role of armchair supporter quite nicely.
Was supposed to be two changes on the train on the way home but ended up having to make about 6 due to works/staffing shortages etc. Seemed to take forever to get home.
Not the best away day.
Yep. I miss live gigs, the football & the pub so so much now it almost hurts.....
I tried to embrace the BCD football & the first few games were a bit of a novelty, but my kids got bored of it quickly & so I've been watching alone.....and thats frankly just a bit too depressing.
I turned off after their 2nd goal last night & put some tunes on instead.
Can’t win every game. I find the meltdowns mental. The unstable mood swings both ways on here are great.
What’s really sad is it’s not even the right colour for my carI forgot to mention had my electric wing mirror nicked so drove home without one. What level of desperation is that. It's akin nicking a public lavatory toilet seat. Hate to think what that seaside resort is like now in these times.
Meltdown Me NEVER!Can’t win every game. I find the meltdowns mental. The unstable mood swings both ways on here are great.
The writing was on the wall after 2 sloppy goals conceded.
We have a goal or 2 in is. But if we continue to concede 2 goals a game then i fear for us.
Every single defeat we've ever had fucks me off. I hate this whole pretending to be happy after a defeat thing.

I think all the great managers are probably pretty terrible losers.Saw an old clip of Alex Ferguson on how he responded to defeat. It fucked him off every time so he would spend ages working out exactly why he lost, then put everything into trying to win the next one or the rematch.

I guess a manager has a degree of control over his own and the teams destiny. All we can do as fans is say 'refs a useless prick', 'opposition were dirty fucks' or 'we played like a bunch of cunts'.I get into a foul mood over losing but reckon the best managers can channel it into productive stuff to win next time.
