    Boufal to come on and score a 30yarder. Then ten minutes later lose possession, not track back and allow them back in it.
    <laugh> Take that right now!

    I'm completely baffled by the massive negativity and I can see the same as last season happening. Our fans have zero patience and expect instant success - when did this suddenly happen?

    We are playing our third league game under a new manager without our best defender. It could take some time for him and the players to understand each other - but hey, I warned about this when the last manager was hounded out.

    We are playing a newly promoted team under a manager who has been here a year and most his team know what he wants and they are on the crest of a wave. I'm not saying we are great, just that I really believe that we seem to slip to "moan" position very quickly.

    I can see it now, Boufal will come on after an hour and someone will expect him to win/save the game and when he doesn't, he'll be **** again.

    I really don't understand it. Sorry.

    But then you would be baffled, with all respect, because (aside from Pelle) you can only see the good in the club.

    We sold Mane over a year ago. We've had Davis not scoring or creating for even longer. We hardly scored a goal last season. I fail to see how on earth being annoyed with this start to the season, and in particular today, is having no patience. Christ, I've given the club more than enough rope. I've waited and waited and waited. And I'm still waiting.

    Different manager, same team - same problems. The board have just five more days to rectify it, regardless of what happens in the next 45 minutes.

    Gabbiadini needs to be wearing a big flashing ****ing LED suit. Maybe then our mid fielders will see him running into space.

    Oh me bad! I only see good in the club. Sorry Brendy that's a poor comment and I think you're better than that. I'm happy to point out when I think stuff is wrong, but the level of expectancy in our fans is too high.

    Ps. 2 games - 1 win, 1 draw. Shocking start to the season.

    I'm not going to predict a result or score as I'm always wrong. But I really hope Gabbi scores off one of his runs.

    It is funny how bigger lumps in our team get away without any criticism, but Pelle had it every match no matter what., for every poor lay off
