Everyone calm.

We were never winning today. It was always going to be mission impossible.

Goal difference not good but still better than the others.

Bullets and arrows should be aimed at the CEO and Lange. If they were told by ENIC not to sign anyone then we know what needs to happen. If it was the farmer's decision then they need to be fired.

Now got a week to get this out of the system.

That's it. One point lost all weekend to the 2 teans below us.

There's nothing to help calm about when we get embarrassed at home by another London rival.

We just played Frank ball. Let that sink in. New manager came in and for all the talk about being more attacking he was as pragmatic as the previous coach. Fucking laughable decision going for a journeyman interim with no prem experience in the position we are in. We are in big big trouble.

3-4-3 is a difficult formation to make work for a team that is used to years of back 4. It just doesn't feel like we have the collective nous to understand how to play it. I don't know if Tudor is an ideal teacher for it either. But he could be. I'd be wary of reading too much into this result- it was a fixture we were expected to lose, and we remained on almost an equal scoreline until questionable reffing stole a goal from us.

Stop crying about Referees. Yes we got shafted but were we anywhere near the quality of Woolwich? Their whole bench will start with us.

The refs didn't give any goal that shouldn't have stood. We let in four goals that are unforgivable. It started with Sarr. VDV looks like he's checked out. I'd. even go as far as to believe he'd rather we go down because then he'll be sold. Bissouma surprisingly stood up for the challenge. The rest were nowhere. Igor attacking? Every time Xavi turned he had three players covering him.

We were plain and simply outclassed. Why? Because of the team we have.

Why can't people cry about the disallowed goal AND admit that we were total shit and deserved to get well-beaten? It doesn't have to be one or the other, they're not mutually exclusive opinions. 🤷‍♂️ Indeed both are absolutely valid opinions.
 
Have a good go against fulham, we don't have the players to keep clean sheets, but we potentially have players who can score a few . No point in back 3 if you've give got to inc garbage like dragusin, and play a midfielder in there

Still have nothing to say about Woolwich being in stadium debt for the past ~15 years, which makes sense because it's objectively true.

Conte got one good player and a load of shit. Unless you want to sit here and argue that Bissouma, Spence, and Richarlison were actually really good for him.

Just quit while you're behind and shut the fuck up.

Sort yourself out, muppet.

You keep running off your mouth but don't answer a simple question, that you brought up
Which player/s, that are injured, would have made us play to the level of Woolwich today, or even get us close to competing.

Blaming a Frank is a cop out.

So the manager who had all pre season and in charge until 10 days ago. Had say and agreement in every player we bought or kept, is absolved from responsibility for the position we’re in?

I don’t how much more I can water this down for you, critical thinking ain’t for everyone. Take your pointless argument somewhere else.
