That was abysmal from minute 1 to minute 90. 2 defeats in 4 league games now.

That is all factually correct.

We are also 4th in the league with games in hand, depth in our squad the rest of the league would kill for, and a heap of improvement in us. And we are rich.

In the context of the last 7-8 years, it’s actually not a bad time to be alive. Is it?
 

Would struggle to pick a man of the match from our lot today. Also their striker won almost ever header today up against 09, even the ones he wasn't man handling him for and we did not at thing to address it.

Spot on. Still can't believe that there's a fair few that now expect us to win every week.

You expect to win every week and be worldbeaters? We're streets ahead of last 3 seasons with the squad we have. Get a grip. Who do you want as manager? LJ is far better than parkinson or grayson.

We shouldn’t have ever had any of them in charge.

Add to that the bear hug on him which prevented him getting to the ball ahead of their defender. Blatant.

In hindsight I wish we were the sort of team where Gooch hits the deck then is demanding a red for “last man”. Everyone else does it and usually they get what they badger the ref for.

We are probably a little bit ahead of expectations if anything.

Are we? We’re currently fifth with games in hand. That’s a sentence that more or less sums up where we’ve been for the last three seasons. I’d expect us to be where we are if Ronald McDonald was running the side given how poor the league is.

Ahead of expectations from when KLD took over would be us sitting about 8th in the Championship after going up last season.

Edit: 4th
 
Just back from match. Did anyone see what happened with Flanners at full time as he went absolutely ape shit and looked like he tried to kick a crutch away from one of the charlton players. Just frustration at the defeat or did something happen?

He was head butted first half by their goal scorer apparently so probably a little upset.
 
We were typical us today .Big let down after building expectations us we throw a Sunderland wobbler and do a bottle job
Ref and linesman were absolutely terrible today mind and if it is true that the ref is a mag he wants sacking

We are 4th and if we win our games in hand we will be 1st.
This season has a very different feel. It won’t be easy, we will have several performances like today and Portsmouth. It will almost certainly go down the the wire. I think it will be fun.
