[Superior Acuña]

We’ve already conceded 76% of what we did in all of last season. (8 goals to match)

Yikes, that’s a big drop off. 

[toon25]

The drop off in quality in performance since the PSG game has been the biggest I've seen in my years as a supporter to date.

TBF that’s because previously we never had the good bit. 

[The Bonk]

We’ve arguably upgraded the defence too, but not having Botman and even Schar not looking as good as he did last year has really hurt us. 
 

Will definitely need another top CB this summer, most likely a Fullback too.

I think it is three years (Jan to early Feb, 2021)  since we lost more in a short period—7 out of 8 back then. 6 out of 7 now (so far…).

We were utterly shambolic under Bruce at Norwich in his second game in a manner never witnessed under Rafa. And there were many more Norwich's.

Though speaking as someone who experienced Keegan into Dalglish (and dreck games at home to Forest as it happens, weeks after hammering Spurs 7-1) its easy to be objective.

Cos the crowd was shit again today. 

 

I can't blame people, dragging themselves out of bed early after Christmas boozing to watch an absolute bin fire of a performance. There was fuck all to cheer aside from the pen all game long.

I was speaking more in terms of the same team/manager 

 

The decline under SBR was much more gradual (which perhaps sticks in the memory)

Actually, 7 losses and 7 draws at the beginning of the following season (Aug to Dec 2021) sounds worse.

We really missed Willock today.

When’s he due back, do we know? I’d say we’re missing Murphy as well.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

No offence to him, but missing Murphy is tragic.

Of Miggy has no end product and we need to replace him, how is ASM the answer?

Translation for you: we need a ASM type of player. Someone creative to open defences, and sometime make the odd goal out of nothing… would ASM be the answer, dont know but I think he would be better than Barnes atm.

Must have been watching a different player...he did nothing of any use

[Sean]

Missed this so don't know if it was as bad as the scoreline suggests, or even worse?

 

But fuck me, losing to a Chris Wood hat trick leaves huge questions. Like, how the fuck?

Aston Villa for all of these in theory
