That was always a possibility

Brizzle are no mugs. Good championship side, on form, loads and loads of experience, always work hard. And they will have known they we were there for the taking. Press hard, and there will be chances, work hard defensively and were lacking the tools to break them down. They were the last thing we needed today.

We can't read anything into this run. People saying "makes you wish for Wagner" are delusional - what do we think Wagner would have done with what JHT currently has available? Yep, nothing.

The real issue is we dont have anyone in midfield that can play on the turn, take it in, beat the press, run forward and find a pass. Boy are we missing Kenny and Nunez. We could have handled missing one, but not both.

Add that in to no Sarge and no Barnes and yeah. We look toothless, because we are. Stop Sainz, and we're done.

These are hard yards, for young players in a new country, in a pretty weak team, trying to play a hard system. It's pretty bleak at the moment, but I really think this is the low point, and the international break will help. We'll still be missing some pretty key players for a while, but we'll be better with a few returning. And I think everyone needs a break. We've hard some really hard games on the road (loads of away games) at just the wrong time.

Hang in there people, it will get better, remember the sex football we have played at times. We can and will do that again this season, once people are back.

Oh, and enjoy the scum getting dismantled tomorrow.
