I don’t think I can bring myself to watch this one. I’m still staggered at how we have ****ed this up. None of us are deluded enough to imagine that there is going to be a sudden re-awakening. We have all watched this game for long enough to know that when there is something wrong in the dressing room (and I cannot see how there isn’t), and when you are missing your best players, you won’t be beating our next 3 opponents.
I’m so angry. I can’t shake it. We have done this to ourselves. We took a comfortable position and we surrendered it. No one did anything special to us. Our team ****ed it. Our management ****ed it. This is not a, “yeah you’d have taken it at the start of the season” argument. That assessment changes when you are 15 points clear, in second place, half way through a championship season. If you are anything less than very angry about the nature of our capitulation then you are not being honest with yourself. In the 2015/16 season none of us would have said that avoiding relegation would have been an acceptable outcome going into the last 10 games, and rightly so. The standard changed.
There is no good ending for this now that is realistically possible. It just won’t happen. It is a disastrous end.
