We need some good players. Sign some good ones in January, then we'll start to win. The reason we are one of the worst home teams in the country is because the players aren't good enough and don't have much pride or respect in themselves and the club. Football is simple! Football is simple. Like Cloughie used to say if defence not good enough keep the ball in the opponents half and it will not matter. And no long balls. The grass is on the floor. Wisdom from one of the best.

Absolute rubbish No humiliation today, we had a go against an excellent prem side and made it competitive The away game at Leicester was the exact opposite approach, that was humiliation not today However will forgive you as obviously you haven't seen the game today just the score Play against anyone in the Championship like we did today and we will generally win Probably thinks any non binary score line is a humiliation not fairly commonplace for any team nowadays. It was a non-binary score.. it was a heavy home defeat but now it identifies as a good performance

It was a non-binary score.. it was a heavy home defeat but now it identifies as a good performance It was a loss. The idea it was a heavy loss stems from dated ideas about the game binary score lines are a far less regular event. For a top half premier league team vs a bottom half championship team it was a creditable performance maybe you’d have been happier losing 0-1 and never laying a glove on them or even making much effort to do so. Just spoil and try to contain lucky to be on the same pitch with them. We’ve done that shit for years and plenty of people are sick of it.

They will still be creaming themselves over how Alex Neil set us up at Leicester earlier on in the season.

How would this ugly ness manifest itself. Why another humiliation? When was the last one? When was the first one? Of course mention any in between? It will find a target other than the manager and rightly so but lose to Birmingham and there is more dis intent ahead as the manger sticking plaster won’t have stopped the bleeding Is this what you're predicting or what you're hoping for?

If we were "better" than Brighton then we'd be sitting 6th in the PL right now. To expect us to humiliate them up is a deluded expectation whether the match was here, there or on the moon. All we can do is develop a "go into the game with confidence" approach and hope for the best, which is what we did.
Yet another reason I don't like these cups. Besides adding to the injury-pile and fatigue, as well as interrupting focus on the regular season, if we lose, even to one of the Pig 6 some of our fans get wound around the axle and project all kinds of evil things for the club. A loss is never "good" but in that match, we represented ourselves well considering the gulf between the cost of their lineup vs. ours.
Beyond that, I'm not worried about a loss in the frigging FA Cup, especially against a PL team. Even if we win it's the old "well, they rested players" with some on here. Beating them yesterday meant fuck all except for bragging rights and a "gateway drug" to more unreasonable expectations. I care more about how we do against our real peers, (And so does relegation or promotion) not some bunch from a league where out of control spending is required just to stay in it.

TP was 10 times the manager that Alex Neil even thinks he is !!

The reaction from the crowd said it all about the thoughts of most there - we were proud of their efforts and performance.
More people than usual stayed for most of the game too.
It was a good game between two sides trying to win.

It was a good game between two sides trying to win. And quite simply that's all most of us ask for . We could have tried to contain ,2 banks of 4, lost 1- 0 barely laid a glove on them ,or even tried to. End result still the same - out of the FA Cup

It was more a comment or observation that the use of the word humiliation in the context of the game yesterday was , well in my opinion, a little over the top. For sure there’s room for improvement and that is what we are surely witnessing in all games since the new appointment. How it all pans out is just part of it. In some sense you have the notion of the ultimate plaster. They don’t exist, and if they did would there be 92 available?

In his defence about Hoever (and also criticism) we improved when we went 3ATB with Hoever RCB but when Gooch went there we lost control as he was popping up everywhere. We desperately need Junior back

He had to take Hoover off at ht today, the lad was getting terrorised by Dembele all of the first half. Who then commits the foul for the 2nd goal? The lad who should have been taken off.
Edit - SS has a massive job on his hands to turn this home form around.

Which shows how utterly horrendous it's been ever since. Your home form drives everything. Your season ticket sales, merchandise sales, the feel good factor around the club. 70% plus of the fanbase only see home games so it's vitally important to get it right. There's no point picking up decent away wins if we constantly lose or get dull 0-0 draws at home. Not Schumacher's fault obviously, this has been a problem for ages now. But it's his problem now and he has to solve it.
