The Real Buh 3,765 Posted October 3, 2020 Today felt like that cup game v Luton with Hughton with Harry Kane up front. I even said it in the match thread its a horrible, horrible game. It must inspire a big change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really, right now Im seriously fed up of seeing my team lose 16 of the last 18 games. If you think we're going to repeat 2 years ago with a team so shot of confidence, a coach who has no Plan B and keeps playing the same ol players and a board who clearly are quite content with 14th in the Champs, then sadly you're a bit deluded mate 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not screaming for managerial change but this does feel a bit different to two years ago. Back then we were coming off the back of a rather "meh" season with a few encouraging displays including notably against Chelsea twice that gave glimmers of hope to better things to come. We are now in a huge rut and on an awful run of that has seen us win 1 of the last 14 league games in which time we've managed to score 4 goals. That win came againt a very poor Huddersfield side. The side look so devoid of confidence. I can't see it happening but I think Farke has to swallow his pride and just get some results while maybe sacrificing his lofty footballing ideals in the short term. The players needs some wins to build their confidence not more of the same old, same old Edited October 3, 2020 by seanthecanary 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clint 221 Posted October 3, 2020 You can refer back to what you want, it has no relevance to the current situation. How long do we wait for the fabled turnaround? Presumably it starts next match after the international break, as per last time. I know that I’m fed up watching us lose and barely trouble the opposition keeper. Just saying.

Feedthewolf 5,885 Posted October 3, 2020 By the time we take the field at Rotherham, the transfer window will be closed, we'll know what we've got to work with, and we'll have had a clear fortnight to work on things. Today was a really sh*tty game to lose, and a massively frustrating way to lose it. We're not going down to League One, we're not going to win the league. We're not playing brilliantly, we're not playing badly. It's a long old season, and we've got a big old squad. Let's wait and see where we are after the next three games. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,711 Posted October 3, 2020 This board seems to be divided between those who say results are paramount & those who say performances matter most. At this stage in the season I'd say the latter. Today's performance wasn't dire, but there are obviously problems to fix. Let's see if Daniel can fix them by Christmas - plenty of time to launch an assault on the top 6 from thereon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OTBC Yes, you're right, but all the wailing and gnashing of teeth by people today is very reminiscent of two years ago and while the past doesn't matter, you should never forget what has happened and try to learn from it. It's early in the season, as it was at this stage two years ago, we are up against the wretched transfer window, trying to get new players involved. Early days, disappointing, but as ever, there are positive signs. A little more focus, a little more cutting edge and we will win games and with momentum, we know what can happen. The only problem is there are no fans to inspire the players on and that is true of all clubs, so the football is not likely to be so exciting. But we can and will improve.

Indy_Bones 444 Posted October 3, 2020 Yes, I remember 2 years ago, where we got promoted playing a brand of football that suited the players we had and got the best out of them, quite how we've gone from that to this is the key question, not how many points we have or haven't got in the first month of the new season. Either Farke reverts back to how we played 2 years ago or he can do one, because I'm getting pretty tired of seeing good players being made to look poor because we've decided to play in a way that suits NONE of them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,902 Posted October 3, 2020 If people think Lakey's optimism is misplaced then surely the pessimism is also misplaced. Without positive or negative spin it's 4 points from 4 games with 42 to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm certainly more positive than negative, but I've certainly been critical of the club, manager, tactics and/or players many times in the past. In fact, I would say that the post that you quoted is relatively balanced, isn't it? I accept that we're stuck in a massive rut, and I can see that confidence is very low. All I'm saying in this post is that we have three games coming up that look pretty winnable; after a two-week break and with that bloody transfer window closed, we should be a lot more settled. If things don't improve over those next three games, we really are in a pickle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 5,013 Posted October 3, 2020 Farkes 1st season dull boring football, start of 2nd season slow and people wanted Farke out because of season 1. 2nd season obviously was magnificent in the end. 3rd season good in places but largely crap and the end was the most humiliating I've seen as my time as a City supporter with Farke clearly out of his depth. Season 4; slow start with dull boring football, unrest in the camp and a Coach making the wrong tactical decisions. It's either brilliant or crap under Farke, never middle ground. Too many negatives for me and it's a slog watching Norwich nowadays. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
