We got beat at Old Trafford so what???

Look, a defeat at Old Trafford is nothing to be ashamed about. Better teams than us will get beat there. Yes I agree the performance was not the best this season but we had a lot of injuries or worn out players etc but c'mon I expected to get beat there. We have achieved the same points against Manure this season as we did last season but for some reason everyone seems down this time. I for one am not worried that this is the beginning of the slide down the table because we are exactly where we should be in the league.

Because we didn't even try. Apart from the Blackburn game, Utd wont have an easier home game this season.

they've played 10 at home, lost 0 and only drawn 1.

tbh, it was to be expected

I'm not worried but i'd expect us to go into games with a better mentality than the roll over and die one somehow, no matter who it is

If we win the next game, Bruce will argue it was worth it. And I suppose that's right. If we'd have pushed Utd and fought, they'd have still won, at least this way we have a lot lef in the tank

Going a goal down in the first five minutes at Old Trafford, when you're missing 7 key players and some of your starting 11 are still adjusting to the league, when you're playing a side who haven't lost at home in LIKE FOREVER, must be a kick in the balls like.

I doubt we went there to roll over and die, but sometimes it's hard to pick yourself back up.
