The Albert Match Days

Which is fine honestly, we won it last year and decided to rebuild an ageing team. I think most expected us not to immediately win the league again.

So you expected us to lose to Palace, Brentford and United. You must have if it gets easier.

604

Doku being shit against us (or shit in general) was the last constant in my life :pensive_face:

605

This is easily the best game he has ever played against us.

I might be in a minority but I think Mo has been poor, againā€¦ bad passing, poor touches and his decision making is erratic

607

Iā€™m not going to the pub after this game.

608

I was just going to say. Our next windows need to favour pace for buys. So many times our forwards of the last few years would have gotten onto things or made better runs

609

Last year we went 2 up and dropped to a lowblock with lots of bodies behind the ball and although Doku beat Trent regularly there was no space for a pass or shot.

610

I didnā€™t expect us to be 8 adrift after 11 games and having lost 5 of the last 6 games. Anyone who says they expected this are telling porkies.

In the post match poll you can see there is a note at the top that says ā€˜Do not vote until full timeā€™

By voting you have now locked the poll, and everyone is going to fucking hate you when Rio comes on a bags a hat trick.

Can you please remove your vote?

Yeah not many teams spend Ā£450m and look worse for it.

614

Quite the strawman, not even close to what I said.

615

+1 GD. Wow

616

That is the pass we need from our CBā€™s, great from Virg

617

5 defeats from 6 and 8th is a great rebuild. Your trying to pin a rebuild on this shit we are getting served up.

618

It is one of those daysā€¦
Diabolicalā€¦

Disclaimer: weā€™ve been shit today. Itā€™s still diabolical.

So we sell all the players as well

Poor Gomez, being thrown into this mess, with 10 minutes left.

621

This is the annoying thing about these threads when weā€™re losing.

Unless you are joining in with the choruses of ā€˜weā€™re fucking shitā€™ you are some kind of apologist looking for excuses.
