We just conceded 4 goals to Nottm Forest

It's story time with Tu Meke

(Just for the record, I'm not highlighting anything we don't already know here, I'm just hoping typing something out will make me feel better).

I remember having a conversation with a good friend of mine who is a Liverpool supporter. It was on the way back from Anfield earlier this season where we both witnessed Liverpool take us apart 4-0.

I can't remember exactly how it went, but I said something like "why couldn't we keep it at 3-0? 4-0 is just a battering."

Then he paused for a bit, looks at me and goes: "Tu Meke, you sexy individual, 3-0 is a battering too." (I might be paraphrasing a bit here).

Then I thought about it and realised I've gotten so used to us performing terribly that losing 3-0 to a good team seems like a bit of a success sometimes.

Today wasn't even the first Championship side we've conceded 3 goals to.

Let's look at some of the results we've seen in other competitions; please let me know if I miss any out:
