0 trophies in Sixteen years sounds even worse. But unfortunately, whatever spin you try and put on it, it's also a stone cold fact and a stain on these owners who've shown time and time again they couldn't give a fuck about winning..
Lions led by donkeys
I see it exactly the same way.
Do you think that the players, were a bit gripped by fear and, forgot the game plan.
Not sure, city started like a house on fire pressing us and we never recovered. We were just flat. Thought the midfield 3 especially were way off it.
“never stopped running”
Think they wanted it a bit more than we did.
100%. That’s what I saw. Attacking the south stand second half and we barely moved out of our pen box. We kept pissing around with the ball at the back so slowly they didn’t even need really exert any energy in their press. We made so easy for them! What don’t understand how when they had the ball they just waltz through from the back to our pen box with virtually no pressure. Few times we forced them back but generally we like all scampering back into our own half mainly in the middle of the park. Hence why they had so much space on the wings. It was like watching Conteball.
I hope when we play the Bees
I think there's an element of truth in that, the mauling we got, in the first half up there, may have played on minds. Couple that with them pegging us back for long periods, you've got a back foot mindset. So when those breaks do come along, you've got players who aren't thinking attack and reacting quickly enough.
