This Manager is going to cost

2 points per game gets you up almost every season…only this season 2 teams have made the best ever starts in Championship history.

I hope this is a wake up call. Too many changes tonight

Yes. Arrogance from the boss for sure. As for Bamford - he’s a striker and they need arrogance. However he should have been overruled for the penalty for sure.

DF needs criticism where it’s due. I haven’t given up on him - far from it - but he needs to recognise he ferrucked up royally last night. I hope he does.

I have never criticised Bamford, my view is that he is the best striker at the club, I did think Summerville should have taken the penalty, Patrick had done his part in winning the penalty. Crysencio being the form player should have taken it but I can understand why Bamford did, he needed it. Strikers are confidence players and the injuries and recent lack of goals have probably done him no end of harm psychologically and that was a chance to kick start his season.
I think Bamford needs to start scoring again and soon, he looked a worried man after the miss.

Rinse and repeat, Dennis. This is a third critical penalty miss. It’s not his fault he arrogantly believes he should take it. It’s the team’s fault for letting him. Rodon should have just decked him, he looked that furious after the miss.

Personally thi k Bamfords issue is the exact opposite of arrogance. Trying to force a boost of confidence but it doesn't work like that. Wouldn't back any of the players we had on the pitch to score though.

The issue yesterday is also just nothing to do with Bamford and the penalty miss. Its entirely to do with another lacklustre performance where we created maybe two meaningful chances against a poor side.

I find it odd how a manager does great when he gets it right but is a crap sucker when it doesn't work!..

He picks the team and puts it out, so he's playing who he trusts to do the job he wants doing how he wants it doing, does that not mean its up to the players to do what he wants doing?..

These players claim to be footballers, so they should do what footballers do, and part off that's what the manager says!..

As for penalties and who takes them, planting them in the top tier of the stand gets 2 points in rugby, so maybe Bamford is thinking off a career change!..

The other week you expected us to get 100 points at least. Now everything's gone to the wall. You're the most fickle sod on here and that's saying something.

Do you understand basic english ?

I said Id be disappointed if we didnt 🤷🏻‍♂️

And I stand by that. This squad along with Leicester are miles infront of rest of the teams in this league.

That isnt been fickle, its been fooked off because tonight, the manager hasnt given the team, the best chance because of a host of mistakes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Fair enough, but it doesn't take a giant leap of imagination to equate 'disappointed if we didn't' to 'expect us to'.

We're all f@cked off. I'll admit Farke got it badly wrong last night but he's still learning about what is largely a new bunch of players and the limits of what they can do in full competitive matches. Thankfully there are plenty of those left in this division starting with a very winnable one this Sat.

I think what you say above is a great point and has been lost in the mire. Started slow, gave up a shot on goal within a minute, never really troubled their keeper all night and probably didn’t deserve a point.

Nothing like a complete over reaction thread after a loss at all this one, course not
