This is what we needed

Loosing 4-0 to Hull at home made me open my eyes to what has been obvious all season. Im not saying all hope is out but i actually realised today that a new manager doesn`t help when we made so many mistakes before the season started.

Playing defensive football (malky) and playing attacking football (ole) doesn`t matter because our team just isn`t good enough for this season.
I hoped that getting an attacking minded manager in would help us climb but today with over 20 shots none found the net or became even close to dangerous.

I will admit that i believed after the Championship that many of our players would step up and be ready to place us around 12-16th in our first season if we signed 3-4 good players with experience from 3-4 of the big leagues in Europe.

We failed horribly at that and strikers is a huge reason we are not winning matches cause the chances are being produced.

Who is to blame for this?

I think all of us are.. We the fans have high ambitions and dont support our team like we have done earlier. Now im talking fans in general so dont take it personally if you stood there beside your team for 93min today.

Tan is too blame for all the trouble but he cant be blamed for players who dont perform.

Malky is too blame for crap signings and really boring football that produced 0,6 goals pr game and bad results.

OGS is too blame for the results after he took over. I think he picked the right team today with what he had available but his style dont work with these players.
But OGS was assigned to play attacking football so lets hope Tan opens his wallet in the summer when he sees that it doesn`t matter what type of football we play when the players aren`t good enough.

And i just want to defend the players a little.

I was once playing for one of the best junior teams my town have had. We ran through our divison and felt great, we showed up next season for the Elite division and thought we would do well.

After 5 matches we had 4 losses 1 draw and 3-16 in goal diff. We played the same football we did the year before, we had good morale and the spirit was high but our coach said it felt like we didn`t care.

He just never realised that we didn`t show anger because we all knew that we had come too a place we didn`t belong. We weren`t good enough and i recognized the faces i saw after the ref blew the whistle today.
It looked like my face after loosing too a team we thought we would beat but we went home knowing they were much better than us.

Sometimes you want so much but you achoeve so little.
