What are you actually expecting from us? If we go out and try to attack them we'll get hammered. There is night and day between the quality of our squad avoiding a hammering is what we need here not a confidence sapping heavy loss.

That is exactly what Buurtenshaw said in the late 70’ s playing against the Town, he called it defensive interception!

To sit in and attack with purpose on the break rather than cheaply concede possession. We can play defensively but actually use the ball when we have it. We are inviting more pressure by handing away possession. A little more belief is all i ask. Hopefully that will come in the second half.

We have more about us than this! Szmodics is also a dreadful footballer.
Embarrassing performance thus far I'm afraid.

Or take the game to them and get absolutely smashed to pieces in the break? It’s almost like some of our squad were playing Shrewsbury a couple of years ago. Think we’ve got this largely right - it’s possible goal difference could be decisive at the end of the season.

I agree we shouldn't concede possession so cheaply but it just highlights the gulf between us and the rest of the PL really when it comes to breaking out with belief. Watched Brentford at Brighton and they are great at it but they have had a few seasons to get that level of quality in. Our rise has been so rapid we really just don't have that quality.
If Tuanzebe and Ogbene weren't injured I honestly think we would be seeing a much stronger team able to play games like tonight and counter with some purpose.

Agreed. Good points. Just frustrated by our lack of belief.
