Totally disagree, it’s all about opinions. They utterly owned us in the first half. We competed second,they had a plan and carried it out to perfection. They scored 5. Hardly a last minute fluke. Sometimes you get done by a better team in the day.
Yeah about that...
I think it's the point RDZ is making a lot at the moment - we're an excellent side on our day with everything set up right, but not a side ready yet for 2/3 big games a week. That's where we want to get to, and that's about mentality as much as squad depth.
Yup. They absolutely nailed their game plan and got the game won in the first half. Just got to hold your hands up sometimes and acknowledge it.
I do wonder what came with more pressure for Dunk for example - Championship promotion season or this season. Less games, but busy end and of course Europe is big, but was it bigger than getting promotion ?
I see your point, but the quality of teams is obviously way higher, if we’re off by 1-5% we get beaten. We looked knackered.
Naive is a word that describes us reasonably well .....a team seemingly bound for relegation come flying out of the trap and before you know it we're 2-0 down......ffs , caught dozing , move on.
I'm not saying they weren't the better team. They clearly were and they executed their smash and grab counter-attacking strategy very well indeed.
Lies, damned lies, HWT
Yes, indeed - agree completely- the mentality that is required is the ability to compartmentalise matches and go into each match as a ‘stand alone’, unaffected by the previous match result (either buoyed up by it deflated because of it) or with an eye on what comes after the match such as the end of season objectives and how the result of that match you are about to play will effect those objectives.

Still confident of this statement now lol?
