A different kind of pasty
Half an hour after a defeat. Where are all the "we're shite", "we're going down", "<insert random players name here> is crap" threads?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
The difference between this and the last 2 seasons

I said last season that I'd rather see us go for it and get beaten 3-2, than take a 0-0 draw.
I stand by that.

Cant understand that attitude. I want us to win failing that settle for draw. I dont want to see us lose by any score whether it be 1-0, 3-2 or 7-6. Strange attitude.

Not sure I agree. Going to football is for the entertainment. I'd watch us in Conference South if that is where we were. I am all for Hyppia trying to bring some excitement back. I think a lot of people feel the same after the past season or so.

Well everyone is different.
I go to football to be entertained.
I frequently left Falmer last season feeling anything but.
I really was close to giving up with it all, so bored was I. But this season I have a renewed vigour. Yes we've lost today, but we tucked away a couple of goals and played with intent.
In an ideal world we'd be tight at the back and ruthless going forward, brushing teams aside on our way to the title. That's not realistic though. So if it's a choice between being tight and playing for draws to try and sneak our way into the play offs again, OR getting a bit more gung ho and having a few high scoring games that sometimes go our way and at other times don't, with a mid table finish, then I'll take the latter right now.
We've done tight and boring, and I didn't like it.

Problem is excitement along with losing will still result in lost fans. Not many teams get promotion with gung-ho football

Very encouraging that goals are being scored by Dunk and now Greer. Reaping rewards for far more positive play. Under Oscar they'd have struggled to make the halfway line.

We did have this after the first two matches this season.

If we lose at Ipswich the meltdown will start

So if we finish bottom half (not saying we will mind) will you still be saying that?

Tactically really naive. We are going to get beaten by average teams and slaughtered by decent ones.
The only way that was a good game is if you were a neutral with little regard for quality.

I will settle for a run of 1-0 boring wins till Easter.
Correct. Today was VERY scary at times. We cannot defend for shi.
They could have had 6 or 7.

Yes, there was something of a meltdown after the first two games. Equally vociferous were those shouting that all concerns were not allowed until September (i.e. when the transfer window closed). Perhaps that should be revised to October.....?
Yeh, alright - it's only one match................
