Ok, so we were beaten by a £100M team last night who seemed to be masters of the dark arts, our young squad will learn from that experience and will improve.
Criticism is coming in of MR, a manager who has taken us from L2 obscurity to the championship in 3 years, some were suggesting we might even drop into non-league football 3 years ago.
We have Wycombe below us who have no points and have not scored a goal yet, if we don't finish above them I will be amazed.
Forest have no points, have conceded 7 goals and scored 1.
We also have Barnsley below us who have only scored 1 goal so far, and to say they are at the same level as us is being kind to them.
Sheff W are still 11 points below us, even though they seem to be doing well following their 12 point deduction.
A number of clubs could yet be deducted points this season due to going into admin.
In contrast we have won 1 and drawn 1 of our first 4 games, but we have lost 2.
We need to get used to losing because it will happen a lot this season, but I don't see any reason to get despondent at this stage.

Thanks

Long story short. Everyone needs to calm the fuck down both ways. Like a bunch of 5 years old girls on here.

cc84cov · Oct 3, 2020

Dunno what people expected robins to do last night 2 up front can you imagine what Bournemouth would of Done to Ya with a man lost in midfield for another striker some people are finally walking up to the demands of this league

About bloody time too get fucking real

ccfcway · Oct 3, 2020

never under any other impression than this season will be a struggle. i've been delighted how we have done so far

CanadianCCFC · Oct 3, 2020

We’ll go toe to toe with a lot of teams in this league. Bournemouth aren’t one of those teams right now.

tommydazzle · Oct 3, 2020

Yep, keep calm, even Norwich have the same points as us and they expect to walk this division according to the locals.

Alkhen · Oct 3, 2020

Agreed.

It is a shame that the next 3 fixtures look super hard on paper. Need to keep plugging away and not let heads drop

Evo1883 · Oct 3, 2020

We've arguably picked up the amount of points that everybody realistically expected from them 4 matches... Why are people suddenly flabbergasted thats what happened

Tommo1993 · Oct 3, 2020

Are we really gonna have two weeks of this shit now?

lord_garrincha · Oct 3, 2020

I was so DISGUSTED with the 'performance', I have decided not to attend a game for the rest of this calendar year.

Disgusted,

Coventry

Nah, we’re going to have an entire season of this shit. And then if we stay up we‘ll have a spell of Robins is the messiah.

ccfcway · Oct 3, 2020

the "hear me out" thread is 2 defeats away

Not that you big dafty. Two weeks of dwelling over losing a clear underdog game, there’s no other game to talk about for a fortnight.

I was furthering your point, we (the forum) will spend the entire season moaning about defeats. Whether it is for two weeks or two days, it will be the same old shit. You big daffy

Londonccfcfan · Oct 3, 2020

We are going to lose ALOT of games this season that's a fact. Need to get used to it.

Doesn't mean it will be a bad season.

QPR finished 13th last season and lost 20 games!. Most teams in bottom half lose 20 plus games and can easily stay up.

We really need to calm down after one bad defeat.

Magwitch · Oct 3, 2020

It wasn’t really a bad defeat it was an expected defeat and we got lucky with a couple of scrambles but we were still in the game until the sending off and nearly equalised just after, any result for us would have been a travesty for Bournemouth. We need to just see how we bounce back against Brentford, now that will be interesting.

covcity4life · Oct 3, 2020

First bad performance in an extremely long time

Lost to Bristol but played v well. Let's not panic. Only takes 1 more win vs an established championship side and the players will be full of confidence again

How did we nearly equalise just after the red card when we were already 3-1 down at that point?

i don't think it was bad performance. they were simply far better than us

mark_ccfc · Oct 3, 2020

We played badly. We could have probably got away with that in league 1, not in the championship against opponents like that. Just need to brush ourselves down and get on with it.

I agree with you...but if you judge by some of the ridiculous ratings it would seem we lost 4 nil to wycombe.

Mr Panda · Oct 3, 2020

Outplayed Bristol City for a good portion of our game against them less than a month ago and they're now top of the league. Means very little, I know but we should atleast try and take some confidence from that rather than dwell on last nights performance.

Need to figure out how we can beat the press and get our full backs up the pitch, without them we're basically just Allen, Godden and O'Hare vs a defence.

They were but we were very sloppy. Lots of forced errors but also unforced errors

Yup

It was both. They were clearly better than us, but the two goals they won by were very poor goals to concede no matter who we are playing. There’s no denying that really.

Onwards and upwards though. A team just relegated from the premier league and are worth £100m. We just made our record signing of £1.3m.

We lost 3-1. Not bad considering we were getting pissed on at Cambridge United’s cowshed ground a couple of years ago

My mistake thought it was 1-2

Limey · Oct 4, 2020

Word of warning, we may go an entire month without points. Doesn't mean we are certain for the drop. We need to win our mini league of 6-7 teams.

4 points is a decent return so far. Having Bristol and Bournemouth in those games was a tough opening in retrospect. As too is our October-November fixture list.

cc84cov · Oct 4, 2020

Some of you lot need to get with it & fast

Brentford
Swansea
Blackburn
Middlesbrough
Reading
Watford
Forest
Brum
Cardiff
Norwich
Derby

If we take more than 10 points ill be amazed

Why does everything have to be so fucking extreme, either we’re gonna push for playoffs or get utterly destroyed, and why are you trying to preach to people about perspective being needed when you’re the most reactionary of the bunch? Talk about a drama queen

clint van damme · Oct 4, 2020

great to see an outbreak of common sense on this thread.

AFCCOVENTRY · Oct 4, 2020

We need to target 40pts this season to survive. We have 4 already. So another 36pts. 10-12 wins and some draws.

The way i see it is we need to beat all the teams in bottom half at home. Do that and we have a great chance of staying up. We need a 50% win ratio at home.
