Totally agree. You don't become a bad team overnight. We had a sticky patch in Sept last year, leaking goals game after game. Then we found the formula, went on a superb run and it set us up for the rest of the season. The team keep the ball well enough, but we just need to work on that killer ball, and our set piece deliveries.
OK agree with your comments 100%, I think DB has talked more than once about bumps in the road like he was trying to manage expectations. Whilst the reaction of some was over the top I think it was the manner of the defeat which triggered some comments as if the thought was we had put all that behind us and all of a sudden the hurt is back, well as you said football is not like that it is more like real life and that in following your football team is what some people are trying to get away from. I do think some teams with the ability have in some areas worked us out, DB what ever he may say in public has enough knowledge to realize if this is part of the problem and I think we can expect to see some subtle changes starting tomorrow. I know a top level ex pro who now runs a soccer school who once said to me the game is great when everything is going fine but it is a bitch when it is not so I know the players themselves will be hurting at this moment because as you say they care about the club, so when they are not as in life you find out who are the men and who are the boys, Manager, Players ans Supporters. I know which one I want to be. COYBs.
