Results Like Last Night Can Happen


Before the season started I expected 4 or 5 games with this sort of result with us being newly promoted.
The fact we haven't is testament to how far we've come. Last night goes down as a very bad day at the office.
Hopefully we come out all guns blazing against wolves and give them a decent beating.
If they don't beat wolves that's my birthday ruined for yet a 6rh season running :lol:
 
Results can happen and they often do over the course of a season. The thing is t just down to the result though but the manner of it and the actual performance. Apart from that first 15 minutes we were scone best everywhere and as much as that is bad in itself it gets worse looking at how we gifted them at least 3 of their goals.
 
Even just looking at this season, there have been similar results such as:

Bournemouth losing 4-0 at Villa
Villa losing 1-4 at home to Rosenior's Chelsea
Bournemouth losing 4-1 at Brentford
Everton losing 1-4 at home to the Mags
Palace losing 4-1 at Leeds

I've purposely removed the relegation/relegation threatened teams to show that other sides who are having decent to excellent seasons are not immune to bad days or performances either.

Of course we didn't exactly help ourselves, but other teams at this level have quality players too. Shit happens.

It can happen for sure and as long as we react in the next game it can be forgotten.

Its a freak result on its own.

But any club should be slaughtered for conceding 9 goals in 2 games
 
If this time last year, you said we'd comfortably stay up without never being amongst the relegation dogfight, double over the mags but we'd have a few games where we were absolutely shite & got spanked. I bet everyone would've taken it.
 
There’s a reason teams, especially those outside the top 4 or 5 in a league, tend to get more points at home than away.
Of course. But that doesn't answer the question.

Nobody wants to lose 5-0. Whether it happens at home or away makes no earthly difference to our season.

The bigger issue is our shambolic defending over the past two games. It would have been no more palatable if we'd lost 5-0 away to Villa and 4-3 at home to Forest though.

Oh yes, the outcome is the same home or away.

It would have been so beyond the realms of possibility that you'd have been sectioned!
 
Need a reaction next week against already relegated wolves, if there’s not i think RLB will be on his way out in the summer.

This is what I think will happen not what I hope before I get shot with shit.

Not arsed either way fwiw

You do get games where a team inexplicably collapses for a period of time.
For 20 minutes or so last night that was us and generally managers can’t put their finger on why it happens.
We did apply ourselves well the second half but obviously Forest took their foot off the gas and managed the game well.
It’s hopefully a wake up call for all concerned.
Its absolutely mad to think but we can qualify for the Champions League if we win our remaining 4 games
 
We've been the fourth worst team in the league since the start of November. We've massively dropped off and our home form has completely vanished. It's no surprise a result like last night was possible with how poor we've been on the whole for about 5 months
 
Agreed it could be a one off, but it happens next week and we fizzle out the rest of the season I think questions will be asked. A could see kyril changing

Really? Shocking that, doesn't feel like we've been 4th worst but ther's no doubt our form last year was amazing, as was how we went about earning them points. Our two best CBs yesterday yet we conceeded a shit-tin of goals yet again. Something very wrong with our defence recently, even with Xhaka playing as DM

I wasn't sure but only Spurs, Wolves and Burnley have less points (they all have a lot less). West Ham and Leeds have the same points but both have a much better GD having both scored a lot more.

I use this Ipswich fan website to check

Where’s the 5-0 at home comparison???
 
That lads attitude is a worry
I’ve thought this for most of the season tbh, even when we were flying he’d have the odd strop. I’m starting to wonder if he’s just an emotional lad that can’t help getting carried away with his emotions because he seems to be the opposite end of the scale with positive emotion when something good happens. Wasn’t he dancing in his goal celebration the other week?
