The manner of today's defeat

[Zippity]

...was the most worrying thing for me.

That was the poorest home performance I've seen from us in a long time. We were second best-by some distance-in every department and were appalling with and without the ball. Lejeune was caught napping so many times I lost count and almost every kick from Elliot basically surrendered possession. The less said about Joselu the better-I'm not known for avoiding bad language on here but what I've got to say about him would break the swear filter. Watford were faster, sharper, passed better, battled better, finished better, pressed better, seemed to want it more....and, well...loads more 'er' words.

Yes, we looked better when Merino came on and I know we're missing Lascelles and the pace of Atsu but, basically, as we were walking out, almost every conversation around me involved the word 'relegation'.

Don't get me wrong, I know there are loads of games left (too many to even use that phrase) and there's the hope of a decent budget in January if we get taken over, etc...but...

...for anyone there today who witnessed our previous relegation season, the similarities are huge and the worries are real.

Sorry for the negative post.

Up to the Daintees to cheer me up now.

Aye - BBC said unless we get someone in who can score we look like a relegation battle team.

Please let this take over happen soon and please let us get a striker who can score.

If we don't buy a goalscorer...or two....we will be in a relegation battle for sure.

When you set up with Diane and shelf life in the middle you have lost
Rafa is fastlt becoming our worst manager
I am sick of his negative footy

Would I invest half a billion pounds with this clown in charge
Nope
And all the plastics and arm chairs who skated me
I have proved I know more than Rafa
And I ain't the most intelligent

He has been done over by at least 4 managers still learning their trade

Rafa was out done again today
The man is a dinosaur
Diane and shelf life in the middle
They won at a canter

By far a better side than us
By far a better manager than Rafa

If you weren't such a plastic and went to the game you would have seen that the crowd was completely underwhelmed
We were sh173
At our best

And how anyone can defend Rafa is beyond mec

........ & so says plasticmag............... absolute idiot.Rafa is a world class manager who if given a premiership budget would hone a decent premier team. Your constant negativity will come back to haunt you .......HWTL.

FFS why do posters on here respond to Ghostboro, can't you see it's what his life is all about, without attention he will just dry into dust and fade away. It's like smoking, the less you do it the easier it becomes to stop. He's like an addict who can't wait for his next fix. Not responding to his drivel is his worst nightmare, I suppose this forum is the only bit of attention he gets, poor little bugger !

From this day forth I swear I will not:
Rise to his negativity
Reply to his negativity
Reply to his insults
Correct his spelling mistakes
Rafa will get it right Im sure of that.HWTL.

Rafa is making it worse
Everyone said he had a masteplan
Would sort the defence ya knaw
They even copied and pasted the kronockles story to try and make themselves look intellectual
But guess what
We are shipping goals every game and at an alarming rate

We were 2-0 down. Efore he even thought of doing anything positive

The way Rafa sets up is like a boxer going into the ring knowing the other fella isn't going to throw punches just sit on the ropes and take a beating

People flocked out when we went 2 down
At. I time at all we're watford under any pressure or fear of loosing the game

They looked a different class to us

I remember a lot of the knowalls on here having these down for relegation

Their manager is class
Ours isn't
