Various players made rallying calls after the West Ham and Brentford games and they couldn;t have rung more hollow given our derby 'performance'.

A loss tomorrow would see a toxic atmosphere return. Unwarranted, in my opinion after what this team and manager have done for the club and the City in recent months and years, but patience is almost non-existent in the immediate aftermath of a derby loss such as last weekend's and a cup defeat would see quite a few folk openly turn, especially if we're as conservative in our approach as we have been recently.

Follow that up with a lame performance against Chelsea (depends which Chelsea turn up, too) and it'll get ugly.

Funny thing is, this team are equally capable of winning both games well and things would look a bit brighter.

Mind, when not even our manager knows which team is going to turn up, the rest of us have absolutely no ****ing chance of working it out.
Sadly this is the reality of current social media, dying trad media, hysteria machinery combined with armies of delusional computer game playing muppets who think clicking buttons is exactly the same as real life.

All that being said, football is the pinnacle of Performance related business. Don't perform, don't keep job.

Whilst the reality is that things aren't great but they're certainly not as bad as the current hysteria machine is making out, losing to Fulham at home and a home loss to Chelsea would indeed be the spark for major unrest in the fan base.

The match to the gasolina. Let's hope that the player grow a pair and Eddie gets the team selection recipe right over the next week.
