It does just feel like the cruelest season.
We need to calm down a bit though.
I was livid and all potty mouthed but having had time…
- the goal was rightly chalked off. Souza played a pivotal role in getting it to McBurnie. In the Championship no way they spot it and it’s a comprehensive win.
- 14 minutes felt outrageous and another attempt to derail us. But you had Arblaster down for a good while and you have 2 large VAR checks which lost us about 4 minutes each.
- we’ve no idea on the physical fitness of the players. I’d rather have left it. But maybe McBurnie was already well beyond the point of where he should have come off. We won’t know but we lost momentum when he left the field.
- Fulham weren’t the only ones to get 14 minutes. We also could have done better and pushed our own lead but we just panicked and invited them, though no doubt going from 4-1 to 3-2 in a minute or two and finding 14 more minutes would have given them a massive psychological boost. That’s just lucky for them. Literally everything went for them when they needed it to.
- Don’t know what to say about the keeper. He doesn’t look like saving anything. But then again the first goal someone was daydreaming and it went in the corner, the second one was the same and the third was a wonder hit from a player in form.
But again, where were the defence? When he’s going for such a kick, someone should be closing him down and making his high feet a foul. We had 4 centre backs on at that stage yet he was on his own to do that. Same with the corner; what dopey twat switched off? Norwood should have not let the ball get to Cordova-Reid but who was tracking him?
Got ourselves to blame as much as anything. No composure at all.
