At least we didn’t sing about the champions league for 20 minutes otherwise that would have been even more embarrassing

Less than ideal preparation for El Gatwicko, has to be said
Totally deflated sums me up I think.

People say he is shit but if we had someone like Eric dier in the side we don’t draw those games v wolves and today
I think it might be too soon to say that. We always say young players will improve so why shouldn't that also apply to a coach? He is starting out on a very steep learning curve. I'm livid about this afternoon but there's every chance Hurzeler will learn as the season progresses. We were all panicking about the high line at the start of the season and that seems to be less of an issue now. Now he needs to address the Headless Chicken Syndrome.

I think we are trying for an award for the most generous club for gifting points against bottom 6 clubs.Since when was the phrase best form of defence is attack removed from the English language.
We've been caught out so many times when going negative, inviting the opposition to break us down, it's not what we're good at.

lol if bottled it didn’t exist as a phrase in the English language, we’d have had to invent it in the last 20 minutes. Textbook case, put it in the illustrated dictionary

lack of shitehousery required to close out games just so naive at times where are the leaders on the pitch
I am hungover. Feel rubbish and that has not improved my mood. I know other sides will point to “should have won xyz” but to fail to win twice from 2-0 after 86 mins vs relegation threatened sides is frankly ridiculous.
I really hope this will see us come out and smash palace.
Baleba getting a silly booking is annoying.

Im sorry but to throw the game against Wolves was just about forgivable. To throw a second game in the same fashion is a f***ing joke. Fab didnt need to bring Igor on. Igor didn't need to dribble in the dangerous area like he did. Terrible result yet again. European place is not achievable if we carry on like this.

Please Fab don’t say we will learn from this and move on !!!
Our defenders are actually poor at ….. defending. Under two managers now. In 2022/23 they were protected by two world class CM’s, the moment they departed it unravelled. Dunk‘s decline obvious, JPVH nowhere near the VVD level talked about here at times.
Velts and possibly Igor apart.
I wonder if TB might address this in January or next summer.

So grumpy as well. All was fine until those last minutes. We need to change our mentality especially when trying to see out a win. So many points dropped.
Bottled it suggests fear. I don’t think it’s that so much as naivety. it amounts to the same thing though.

A player fresh on will have had tactical instructions.
Good coaching would instruct players to not take unnecessary risk in dangerous positions when the game is in the balance with minutes remaining.
Very poor game management.
