Fuck me, the patter in this thread (© Gemmill)
We are not gonna be the fucking Barcelona of the Championship. We are not going to walk this league like the Harlem Globetrotters. Its going to be fucking scrappy at times. But Jesus christ, we won didnt we? We got 3 points and got 4 goals.
Confidence is a massive thing in sport. We lost our two first games and that would have had a massive effect on the lads. Everyone was expecting us to walk the league, then we get shafted at Fulham by the ref and some shite defending and then beat by 'uddersfield. So nerves are going to settle in. Especially when some of these lads arent used to playing in front of 50k+ for two games on the trot. The crowds nervous after last season and the first couple of games and thats going to transfer to the players low on confidence.
Rafa is still trying to get his team settled I think. But also, its a fucking hard season in the Championship so rotation has to happen to keep the lads fresh and fit. Anita did better at RB I thought. We pressed a lot higher and we created more.
We have points on the board now and we have a few goals in the bag and Gayle has scored 3 in 3 now. Fuck me, I think some of you lot want him to fucking fail just to say 'I told you so' 'waste of fucking money' Jesus wept.
