Seems to be lots of negativity on here since Saturday
I appreciate that it was a massively disappointing result and performance, but I’m surprised by the level of criticism there seems to be on her for our hitherto untouchable manager, and even some of the players being accused of not caring.

Short memories, knackered attention spans, inability/unwillingness to accurately process information and inflated sense of entitlement – the modern illness, all told. |  |

Think the bulk of criticism was directed towards the new players, Phillips this time. Muric. O'Shea. Guess they haven't really gelled with fans as of now and their performances aren't exactly setting the world alight.
McK probably people only questioning the 10 role and lack of early subs, still not all out criticism I guess. Haven't reached the levels of Bristol Rovers away and (hopefully not!) Charlton yet. | | | |

No. Its only a sense of Icarus.
The premier league is a touch too hot for us. [Post edited 21 Oct 2024 18:52]

Look
They'll be some who just discuss games as they happen
They'll be some that discuss game weekends
They'll be some that don't wish to discuss anything negative
There are a good 5% of the support base who started following town in the last two seasons
They'll be thousands who aren't on social media who love the simple fact of being in the prem. There are some on social media who also just love being part of the prem
There are some who blindly follow KM. They'll be some that don't and will gladly hold hands up once success happens not wait for it before having an opinion.
Their are many who love the new signings. There are many who don't.
Some think we are fine some think we aren't
Some think we will stay up. Some think we won't
Some thing our players care. Some don't
Some think replaced players happily sit in the background. Some don't
Some are quick to say last year's team aren't good enough for prem. Yet believe the manager is despite never doing it before.
Basically. There's loads of different opinions
Some positive. Some negative. Some balanced. Some not. Some knee jerk some carefully thought about.
There shouldn't be any surprise that there are posts written that may differ to your view. With the various forms of town supporter it's gonna happen. |  |

I'm not down.
I feel that there is a long way to go.
Anything can happen yet.
Not lost confidance in KMcK, nor the players.
There will be ups and downs.
I am happy to roll with them.

Problems arise when people expect to take 3 points from West ham or Everton and we were well beaten by both.
We need some good performances, goals and hope that we can make a fist of it. Think we need some good vibes. |  |

Almost entirely new team straight into the premier league? Not really. Just enjoying it for what it is, we’re not going to win it are we? Or get into Europe, there’s only survival to play for so it’s never going to be very gilt edged apart from the company we’re keeping. After the decades of desperation this is paradise in comparison. Mckennas still young. Remember all that about he’ll make mistakes and we just need to stick with him? It’s only 2 games ago we were on a four match unbeaten run |  | | |

I can honestly say I'm not. Obviously dont like losing but really braced myself for this season and felt it will be a really tough ask. We will have to go well second half of the season and just try and pick up as many points as we adapt. I won't be heartbroken to play champ again this season. I would still see us progressing as a club. | |

“There are a good 5% of the support base who started following town in the last two seasons”.
You missed a naught or two after the five. Crowds are c. 50% up at FPR and if you factor in new non-attending fans there’ll be many, many more.
But yeah, there’s all sorts of opinions. |  |

And the problem that causes those problems is the expectation. Even to the point of people saying Everton are rubbish and we should be easily beating them. Nuts really. It’s looking like every point we gain will have to be very hard won with almost everyone on top of their game and few/no injuries. | |

I don't thin k we are getting restless. Only the most optimistic thought we would be in anything other than a relegation battle all season. It's the manner of our last two dereats that is concerning. |  |

Yeah I did think I went a bit low. But then there would be thousands who returned rather than being new. So not quite sure what sort of figure would be more accurate. | |

It's a tough one that expectation.
I don't think anyone expects a certain win like its an easy route to 3 points. But when you haven't won yet and based on the fixtures you do have there are some you maybe expect that first win to come from. Its an expectation without being an expectation if that makes sense.
Everton for example. Established prem side. Spent nearly half a billion in the last decade or something.
But. They hadn't won a game away as yet. Were struggling and we were at home after a poor performance v west ham. So i think many felt that game Saturday was our first 3 points not disrespecting everyone as a prem club itself but based on all the above.
The issue is. If it wasn't them. Wasn't southampton. Who can we beat... | |

I don't think many people expected 3 points v Everton, maybe hoped for, but not expected.
I don't think expectation levels are a problem at all. | |

Around where I was sitting on Saturday there was disappointment and a few groans at fairly basic errors, but no sense of restlessness at all. Neither should there be!
Anyone who didn't realise that it was going to be a long hard season with more defeats than wins, needs a reality check as to where we were less than two years ago. | | | |

Nail on the head. We have looked out of our depth in the last two - I think for many of us (me included) thar has been a reality check. | | | |

Well, I don't subscribe to the view that we should just enjoy this season and if we go down, so be it. It is bloody hard to get promoted from the Championship, and we are currently 1 place above the relegation zone with a 4 pt gap above.
If we just are not good enough, then there is not a lot we can do about that, but the last 2 performances were just not up to scratch, and I think it is reasonable to express that. | |

The thing that is depressing is the Premier League in general. It is very tough to go from a winning mentality to a survival mentality.
I'm just not as emotionally engaged in football this season. I can't stand the scheduling with fewer matches and at random times and having to wait so long for the next chance to put things right.
West Ham and Everton were both teams that were there for the taking, but we didn't play well and made mistakes at crucial moments and didn't take our chances. Both of those matches have just passed us by.
Anyone angrily criticizing KM needs their head checked.
At the same time individual players and tactical decisions by KM are open to criticism. We have been very unfortunate with injuries as well.
We recruited very well, but we gave up our big advantage from the start of last season of being a well-drilled and settled team. We also have to acknowledge that it really is tough to just survive in this league.
It's also ok to be a bit disappointed and not always rational when we are so emotionally invested.
We absolutely need to stay behind the team and the manager and support whoever he puts out and keep supporting them through the struggles and adversity. | | | |

I would only say that Everton and West Ham were there for the taking if we played to our best, but we didn't make either of them particularly work for it. I think we have to accept that they have players with more quality than we do and who will finish better than we will on most days. Neither of them were nailed on wins. There were very few of those in the Championship. Most of our wins were very hard-fought. | | | |

I'm luvvin the likes of Shearer and Murphy et al on MOTD having to acknowledge the existence of Town and be forced to (sometimes) say complimentary things about us.
Watch them squirm.
You can see that it makes them feel dirty. |  |

Outside of football, life is tough generally for many. For the last two seasons that's been offset a fair bit through the joy of seeing Town's performances & progress.
But this season we've now gone 9 games altogether without the lift of a win - and that's quite apart from our poor performances in the last two. It's perfectly natural for people to feel a bit depressed & grumbly I think. |  |
