Time to ignore others, as it eats you alive chewing over permutations this way and that. 12 points out of 18 is needed based on historical statistics. Let's get them as soon as possible, the Gods will decide the rest.
Disagree. We looked in total control then one of our most reliable players had an abysmal 9 minutes. We don't look jaded, tired, we looked suddenly vulnerable to the same ball 3 times.

It keeps happening and we’ve not addressed it. That’s in form, out of form or indifferent form. Tired or not tired. The amount of goals we’re shipping is alarming. We haven’t really kept clean sheets this season. It’s reoccurring and at increasing regularity. We’ve been vulnerable to the same ball in from out wide for a long time. Mctominey, Maddison, Forest at home, Newcastle at home, today, etc.

Clearly in the latter two we still managed to get a result, but it seems like as soon as a team puts us under stress we just ship goals very easily. I don’t know if that’s tactical, fatigue, injuries, mentality, or a mix of all of those things but it keeps happening on a pretty regular basis.Hopefully the overt references to it in post match means it’s out in the open and they are having frank discussions about it, which will ultimately address it. But the lack of game intelligence in that 9 minutes was just shocking.
