I’m afraid I feel the same.At least it’s happened earlier than last
year.I’ve watched their first goal back a few times and I still can’t work out
how it’s gone in.We might as well not play with a keeper.I notice Bamford has
gone from hit shots 90 degrees away from goal to doing the same with free
headers.Again, I’d question recruitment in the summer - why sell our best
defender and the only one who looked like a leader? Cooper seems a nice bloke
but he’s no leader and as the pressure increases so do his mistakes.We’ve
predominantly kept the same squad that bottled it last year so why should we be
surprised that it’s happening again?

I just cannot see how we get out of this mess.
How do you fix what you have no clue what is broken? The team is a shambles,
and the players are regressing like in a time machine.
Psychologically we have blown this season.
Sad -- but probably true!
