Depends which central midfielders we play. They are not all excellent excellent tacklers or even that consistent in tracking back (never have been). Early days yet, but a disciplined defensive central midfielder is looking like a big omission to me.
It's the hope that kills you.
Think you might be disappointed.
Being a football fan might not be for you then
Football fans shouldn’t not want to see their teams play poorly?!
I think you've got to at least expect it when you are a League One club. And I can't believe that the Cambridge game was such a low mark that it deserved that comment.
I could say that I don’t want to perform as badly as I did in bed last night again, ever, but it doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t even be a fan…
No, but the reply wasn't saying that, it was saying 'if you are going to be annoyed by that performance, then you'd better get used to being disappointed'. The original comment would have made more sense if applied to Wednesday, not Saturday.
I think you’ve accidentally been more positive than you meant to be
I personally disagree, I’m less bothered by a shellacking (in which at least we scored) away to a decent Championship side in the cup when we’ve rotated and got some young players starting, than a poor (first half at least) display against a supposed League One relegation candidate with all of our fancy new signings starting.
That's fair enough, guess my level for histrionics is set a bit lower. I was much more annoyed by the display at Cambridge last year than I was the one on Saturday, although I'm still in a grump about that.
I’m surprised that you’re surprised that anyone is surprised.
That doesn’t surprise me.
We've got a new manager and signed eight players, but the ones to blame are the few remaining players? Meh
All football fans see their sides play poorly. It is part of football (especially at L1 level ' but Brazil fans saw their side concede 7 at a home WC, so it happens to the best of them)
Agree but the timing is awful.
