Absolute wank from minute 1.

Rutter was awful and our 2 CMs are either fatigued or forgot how to pass. Subs too late as per.

10 points behind Ipswich.

Yup. That needed changing at HT. The writing was on the wall. We seldom change it up/improve second half after a shit first half. It's just more of the same. Something all our defeats have in common.

Most weeks we're on it. Sadly most weeks isn't going to be enough this season. We're going to have to be perfect.

Farke saying it was tough cos they didn't give us many chances to counter.

Should we really be relying on countering teams? Man for man we're far superior to most teams.

I know we are the most dangerous counter attacking team in the division but why can't we just dominate and pen teams in their own half? Our players are good enough. Then ya can have Piroe up top as his lack of pace would be less of an issue.

Ah fuck knows. Off to bed.

Was a shit performance but researching new managers after the run we've had is nuts. He's won this league twice with shitter squads.

I get what you’re insinuating here Sid. But you go back through Champ tables from last few years after 21 games and you’ll be hard pressed to find sides with more points than we have. Just about any other season we’d be top 2 if not actually top. Our record since start of September is outstanding.
At the moment you just have to take your hats off to the 2 above who are both on course to break the 110pt barrier. 2 teams. It’s unheard of. And just typical for us that we have to land in the Championship that season.
There’s still 25 games to go.

Sunderland worked us out, we didn't really have a plan B. Little in the way of movement from our forwards. Midfield were marked out of the game, the only reason i knew kamara was playing was because he kept giving the ball away.

Farkes football works well but it's easy to play against and when it goes wrong it's annoying as fuck to watch.
