Whole season has just been frustrating and disappointing

What makes it doubly frustrating is that we are so close to being good enough and aside from Man U and Villa at home and maybe Burnley away we could quite easily have won almost every game we’ve had.

In pretty much all of them we’ve had spells of dominance where we’ve had chances and been wasteful. In pretty much all of them we’ve gifted the opposition soft goals out of nowhere. Nearly every goal we concede is either from a set price or is giving the ball away in our own half needlessly or carelessly. So many could have been avoided.

I don’t think Farke has ever quite worked out the midfield (still don’t now) and for me his tactical approach and game management has been a real disappointment. He’s a great coach who improves our players and has us playing attractive, technically good football but he’s been out managed quite often this season and failed to make changes when we’ve needed them.

The recruitment has been frustratingly poor. The attitude of the board and club frustratingly lacking in ambition and the thought of this talented side being broken up is also frustrating. Other results going against us every f**king week is frustrating.

And yet at times we have done and continue to play some lovely football that is great to watch.

Overall I think the main frustration is just seeing ourselves bang our head on that glass ceiling!

        Turn of phrase, I don't mean we could have won the games easily but (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 23, 10:15:19
        
        That's incredibly harsh on Krul (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 23, 10:19:35
        
        Don't agree. He's good on penalties, I don;t feel he saves much else but (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 23, 10:22:19
        
        I think he's partly the reason our scorelines have looked competitive (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 23, 11:22:32
        
        I think Krul has been very good this season and potential POTS IMHO (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Jan 23, 10:47:55
        
        Not easily, but we could definitely realistically have another 8-10 points (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 23, 09:49:53
    - You say that after most games but I never see opposition fans saying how lucky they were. (NCFC) - lurd, Jan 23, 08:30:44
      - I’m not crying about it but it’s frustrating the way it’s gone (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 23, 08:57:15
        
        I agree (NCFC) - norway, Jan 23, 09:13:54
        
        I agree too (NCFC) - paulg, Jan 23, 09:52:35
        
        Actually though in the second half last night we tried to get it forward (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 23, 09:54:11
        
        and as to the view of neutrals - this from the telegraph (NCFC) - paulg, Jan 23, 09:58:36
        
        Vimto (n/m) (NCFC) - Joe Strimmer, Jan 23, 20:03:47
    - Agree with all of this (NCFC) - asics_kit, Jan 23, 07:54:21
  - WE CANT DEFEND (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Jan 23, 07:41:31
    - Or we lose to bizarre deflections, VAR etc. (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 23, 08:18:09
    - In fairness to the defenders (who should still react better) they are (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 23, 07:51:14
      - Have a look at Zimmerman for Alli’s goal, he was clueless. (NCFC) - lurd, Jan 23, 08:28:37
        
        fail to stop the cross and good players will eventually score (NCFC) - paulg, Jan 23, 10:02:09
        
        Hanley had already cut out several of those crosses (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 23, 10:05:15
        
        I don;t really agree with continuing to play Byram ahead of Lewis. I think (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 23, 10:18:13
        
        Agree (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 23, 11:24:21
        
        yes- but one will get thru eventually (NCFC) - paulg, Jan 23, 10:07:01
        
        Indeed (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 23, 10:09:19
        
        Yes they should react better but players need to play the percentages more (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 23, 08:59:58
        
        it's exactly that i think (NCFC) - paulg, Jan 23, 10:03:19
        
        We should get points for a high degree of difficulty, like in diving and gymnastics (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 23, 10:06:09
        
        absolutey brilliant idea!! We'd be top. (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Jan 23, 10:07:55

        if he had the yips he had'd have missed the pen i reckon (NCFC) - paulg, Jan 23, 10:09:38
      - Agree. (NCFC) - avenging canary, Jan 23, 07:54:19
