Quote from: OCD on December 01, 2020, 11:34:48 AMThe whole club is undeniably going places and while I love that, for some reason it's making defeats harder to take. I'm used to us being crap and accepting defeats as par for the course. Now that we're actually good, I'm either absolutely gutted or really pissed off after defeats. I need to figure out how to accept losses better.The same here. In my head...Liverpool, Leicester, Arsenal were nice surprises. Leeds, Brighton, Southampton, West Ham; we should be beating these minnows.

Winning those " winnable" games ( see above) would be a nice start......to me losing at home to Brighton , Soton and Leeds isn't acceptable no matter how "great" the football is
I have said previously, if we can finish 12th/13th then that will be staggering progress for a club that finished 5th in the championship 2 years ago.I’m still really angry about the West Ham game though and the 4 defeats in 5.With a big gap to our next game, which is tough one, we could find ourselves in the bottom half of the table trying to claw our way back up.There is a danger that our wonderful start to the season could be wasted because of poor results in the last 5 games.All that being said, I completely agree with the sentiments that we are ‘on the up’ and are a far more likeable team than in our recent history.
...what I wouldn't give for a win against Newton Heath
