Never seen before in the history of the forum.

I am very erudite after a bottle of Hungarian Chardonnay in Budapest!

Just poking fun, it always happens on both sides and always will. We care too much for it not to come out now and again.

Fosun have allowed this gradual allowance of acceptance of mediocrity and loser attitude to seep through the club.

Well we've gone from appointing managers who've managed big European clubs and won trophies (even Lage haha) to a novice whose managerial achievement in a mayfly of a career is keeping a seemingly-doomed team up, it's not hard to see the thought process behind it.

So keep the faith. When we lose to the poor teams we start worrying.

Losing any game 1-4 is cause for concern, the shoulder shrugging and just accepting it as a given. BHA are top 6 so basically we’re just writing off 12 fixtures as a no hope.
Keep banging my head against a brick wall most PL sides would’ve filled their boots in the 10 minutes after halftime.

We had an instant apology. We never get good decisions it seems.

Did we get any points along with the apology, or the L turned into a D?

I think the problem is O’Neil is trying to make us a team that floods the box and attacks in large numbers - any coach who came in would do the same I think because, from the outside, everyone knows we didn’t create enough last season.

The problem is the players probably weren’t coached that way in pre-season (I don’t know for certain, but we didn’t play that way last year) and I think we’re seeing why Lopetegui played conservatively: for one, it tends to be his style anyway, and for two, teams can slice through us if we get it wrong and drop the press/don’t make our chances count.

I don’t think GON is being a dick or disrespectful for his comments, I think he’s trying to learn what the players are capable of having only spent just over a week with them. He’s trying to address an ongoing problem that dates well back to Nuno’s heyday, but the circumstances of not having a full pre-season with this coach means we are going to pick up some beatings along the way unless we miraculously sign a CB or two.

I admire what we did today and, to some extent, it worked. But Brighton will slice open any team who attempt what we attempted and he has to take a bit of blame for that too.

You are hardly Mr. Positive!

Why is being a fake/facile Mr Positive so highly prized by some?

Always looking for a D on a Saturday evening…

I am chilled. Very unhappy with the first 2 results but not ready to panic yet. I have only been able to read about our game today as I am away but last week seemed to hold a lot of potential positives. I do have a sense of humour as maybe some will detect?

Very useful providing insightful comments about game you didn’t attend, view or even listen to.

Always has to have the last word = Tredman.

To be honest I get sick of your negativity. Nothing to do with trolling.

 

[Wolvensam]

In a similar way to how I and others ‘overreacted’ to Monday, I think there’s a fair amount of overreaction going on over this result too. And it’s fine, we all want to be right on our calls as to whether this new coach works out or not - but I hope for Wolves’ sake he does.

I reckon I'd be pretty positive about the game if I hadn't seen it

I have spent a good hour scouring this forum, Twitter, etc My comments relate to the whole game I saw last week where hopefully we all saw positives. Most people I know thought Gary did well last season but this forum condemned him from the word go in the main. Today appears to have been very disappointing - no argument with that.

 

[Dire Wolf]

I'm in the 'haven't really made a call about this coach' camp. I don't know if he'll be a success or not. I suspect that he won't, but I'm not writing that chapter of the book yet. Unlike some people who seem to already know he'll be a failure for some reason and are actively looking for points to score to prove they are right. As far as I'm aware there isn't anyone who has said he's going to be a success?

 

[jd1981]

What’s negative though people just accepting today as a given or people calling it out for the poor performance it was and wanting better?

2 games in with no points against difficult opposition does not merit total pessimism either. But time is short in this division as we all know.
