In the Games when we’ve NEEDED it more….

[sonson]

That being said it shouldn’t be dismissed - it was a once in a generation defeat. Possibly a few generations in fact. We’ve all seen bad things in recent decades but weirdly none as bad as that!!! Outstanding in our history

Um

What do you think a decade is

I've seen dozens of games as bad or worse since in the past two decades and dozens more in the preceeding two

We've probably never had as brutal a loss in a context where it has mattered less. The least significant mauling of the lads I've ever seen.

Fair enough - and yeah we’ve seen more painful games. Being 4-0 down in 35 minutes at home….. not sure any of us have seen that, nor our dads. Or our grandads! Certainly shouldn’t be dismissed as nothing

Trying to defend one of the heaviest defeats in the history of the SoL ffs.

 

[Ayrton]

Shite game, unreal season.
Happens again in the next four amd questions will be asked

Anyone who disagrees is a Mag in disguise, “plain and simple”…. Plain & Simple btw also being the very description of a Mag

Can’t hack our return to Prem, it’s been proven to be their absolute downfall! They know it! North East Top Dogs Toppled from a great NE Height!

 

[contrarian]

No doubt we have had a more than we reasonably expected this season, but I refuse to swallow the look where we were at, be thankful for what we have platitudes.
It was a humiliating disgrace of à defeat at home
Those happy to roll over and have their tummies tickled go for your lives!

 

[Southern Monkey]

We’ve had a brilliant season and for me I think we will be better off now being in Europe for another season. But absolutely for those wanting European football, which will for sure include the players owners and club management, Friday was a huge game. To lose it is one thing but to lose it like that and put in such an apathetic performance seems very odd.

But we move on it’s done now. Win at wolves and you still never know.

 

[Unlucky Black Cat]

The loss the other night was still one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to endure. It was still a horrible performance by everyone. But now the dust has settled I can think about it differently. And frankly looking at the table I’m thinking “What has changed?”. Nothing has!

They could have scored 500 goals let alone 5 and they still would have only earned 3 points. You don’t get extra for scoring loads. That’s the first thing they neglected to consider on the way home whilst they were busy chanting and enjoying themselves.

The second thing is they are still only 3 points ahead of 4th bottom West Ham United. They haven’t exactly left West Ham and Spurs in the dust.

The third thing they overlooked is the fact They did not exactly knock out of the picture for Europe. We are still gonna finish in the top 10 I think. Nor are we relegated if you went on the hysteria they created at FT. Anyone would think they had won the league title the way they went on!! Sad people!

Scoring 5 goals was for me a total waste of time and energy. Why score loads of goals when you get the same if you only won 1-0? And now they have a huge game they should have conserved energy for.

We still end up with the better deal despite them scoring 5 goals against us.

"Waste of time" scoring 5? Have you heard of a thing called "goal difference"?

If they had won 1 nil Forest would have been only 2 goals ahead of Spurs, instead of their current 6.

Friday night doesn’t even register in the top 25 shit shows in my SAFC supporting lifetime. It was a bad 15 mins or so and that’s it.

Spoken like a true supporter
Premier League Season 2.
Let Battle Commence.
FTM and their capitulation once we reappeared

 

[Qwerty]

Well, there’s nothing to add to daft comments like that, apart from …do you pay to go to OUR games and/or are you a sh*t-stirring Mag? Lots of them heavily disguised on our RTG Board.

Either way, us paying supporters are extremely happy, we go to bed at night, and wake up in the morning, extremely happy. Something we haven’t done in years. So SOD any negativity. And HTFL for our next guaranteed Prem Season

There isn't one piece of negativity in my post.
Are you saying we aren't capable of qualifying for Europe?

Quiet you tit

 

[splorty]

We’ve always got it over line.

Staying up with games to spare,
6 derby points,
Our job is done and BRILLIANT to know we can do that extra % WHEN needed

Forest had more to play for so, just like us, turned on that extra fighting % when desperately needed. If had been the position reversed, you’d have seen a different mindset from us. Luckily, it was Forest desperately fighting, not us

Relax and enjoy rest of our absolutely tremendous season

I said this at the end of last season after losing our last 5 games when the deserters were out in force..

 

[Vauxie]

So the team is already on the beach basically, nowt to play for?

 

[parsonjohn1985]

You're dead right and it has been a brilliant season whatever happens now.

It's still, at the same time, incredibly frustrating that there are big matches (Port Vale in the Cup with a quarter final spot up for grabs, or Nottingham Forest at home with a shot at Europe) where this group of players seem to get incredibly complacent, take their foot off the pedal, and it costs us dearly.

Port Vale is the one. Chelsea under Rosenior were terrible and I fancied us to beat them.

 

[ontap]

We were/are going for Europe. We had as much to play for as Forest.

Disagree . A eupropean campaign this early in the project could seriously jeapordise our PL status next season. We have nowhere near enough second string players yet to sustain the challenge of sll the extra games whilst competing at league level. Just my opinion of course but I don’t think there was/is any serious intent yet to qualify . Second season PL survival has to be the one and only focus. Similarly the. Port Vale performance is an example of how the club was focused this season only on PL.

This might only be out only chance to qualify for Europe for years. I hope we take it.

Fair enough. If it impacts on our chances of staying up next season , history suggests it definitely will . Look at West Ham and forest , teams who had a more established PL presence than we have. I’ll pass on it Thankyou.

Keep taking the meds

 

[PS]

Aye. When we stick to our Plan A with a solid defensive structure we're always difficult to beat. It's effective. When we take the handbrake off and try to be more expansive then the wheels come off. I remember early on up at Old Trafford when I think we thought they might be there for the taking - and we got done.
