Our 5th 3-2 defeat this season. We were ahead at some point in all 5. I make that 19 points lost from winning positions.
We have goals in us but can't defend for shit.

Thank heavens that's over, and we can get back to some good accountancy.
Apart from daft mistakes, we played pretty well.
I see that our sky summarising experts are mostly just telling us what we can all directly see.
The phrase du jour appears to be "ball displacement". In my day it was "moved the ball". How far we have all come.
The most important thing is that Sky got their narrative. And the little people like us shouldn’t be concerned by how that came about.
It makes me laugh when they talk about maintaining the integrity of the competition. The lying shites. They mean don't look too hard, keep lumping on your accas, we've got this for you.
I can remember the olden days when we might argue on here about one or two minor rule changes as possibly contributing to a better game. They've made an absolute shed load, and most of them need unwinding if we really want competitive football back.
I'd say we need another 25 points to stay up (which will give us 35). Even that wouldn't guarantee it, but we ain't getting 25 more points so let's start preparing for the Championship now.
You are assuming -10. That seems toppy
Really. I've heard selling Johnson for 30m would've only just made us compliant. So I think it's hopeful given the 6+1 per 5m rule (not a rule but seems to be what they operate to).
And I hope either Toney suffers a career ending injury soon or fucks off to Arsenal sticking two fingers up to Brentford as he goes.
Brentford are such a cuck club. Toney was banned, in large part for betting against his own side. He then comes back, shows ZERO contrition and says g w wants to play for a bigger club. They react by making him captain and celebrating his return…..
The fucking lightshow for him pre game with the Undertaker video tipped me over the edge.
I wonder how much that adds to the profit and sustainability calculation. Is it allowable as ground improvements if they argue that they were trying to blow up the stadium?
Everton got 10 points and our mitigation seems better than theirs. (They’d been warned repeatedly, I believe.)
That just makes us look like proper numpties. Coming up with daft new terms to blame our defeats on. I thought we played pretty well considering the players we are missing, but that goal was entirely down to the positioning of the wall and the goalkeeper and they should take responsibility for that.
