Karjala Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) We remind us of the mackems the last few seasons they were in the PL - scraping safety year after year, and thinking we have a decent team. Our players are championship level with maybes 3 or 4 worthy PL players in the squad, and a career championship manager. I have no idea how we are getting more than 20k at matches. We've been rank for years and every one knows we are aiming for 17th. This is Bruce's 3rd season in charge, and yesterday was his 40th home PL Match - in that time we've won at home 12 times. We deserve to go down, 100% Edited August 29, 2021 by Karjala Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better forwards than Adams & Armstrong and that could have been another 2-4 and we’d have had no complaints. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why Gayle (I think?) didn’t pass to ASM for the second either, got lucky as fuck it ended up with him. ‘‘Twas Big Jow, not Gayle, which explains everything.

NG32 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Memories of the 2009 season, leading in games and then throwing them away and ending up with 1 or 0 points. A long awful season ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Knocking off 2000 for the away fans it’s mad that we’re already 6000 down on the first game. Would love to hear the rationale for said individuals as it makes little sense to me. Much like the Arsenal game a couple of seasons ago do people make the first game of the season a thing?

We deserve to go down, 100% Because for most there is very little time or effort required to attend the game, its the main pro of a city centre stadium. If we had an out of city stadium or even just where SJH wanted to rebuild there would be 10s of thousands less attending. Its so easy to have a few pints before and after and just treat the game as a mid session break Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyBlanco Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 3 games in and we’ve seen we’ll get no favours from VAR or anything that’s going to any sort of review. Twin with a woeful manager, a pretty threadbare squad and a toxic atmosphere. I honestly think this will be the year that sees us down. And we won’t recover.

This year is a perfect storm for relegation... Pissed the league off so there'll be no favours from officials Hated manager Poor players in key positions Relying on loans (if we can afford them) It's like 'Makems 2'....just when you thought it was safe things get Brucey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The system change (442 diamond which we didn't go back to when Wilson etc got injured) until March and Willock's purple patch post-Brighton kept us up.

Scoot Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Was in the Black Garter whilst this was on. Its surprisingly easy to just totally switch off on match days now. Obviously I seen the scores coming through but not watching at all is definitely the way forward. Absolutely pointless following this club under Ashley. I'll be back when we have new owners, whatever league we're in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think fans are delusional enough to think Bruce is a nice fella, a good sort and one of our own and are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, just like many local journalists are. But maybe by the third or fourth match of the season when you are watching another dire performance, the penny starts to drop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
