We are shit. How we win i will never know.
Only 1 to a max of 4 of our players seem to care anymore.

Turn us back to blue so at least our fans can unite again and raise the volume at the drab CCS.

At home against 10 men for half the game, it's shocking. But more than that it's concerning.

in the first half we had 39% possession, at home that is shocking.

Stats mean very little apart from the score. Keeping the ball but doing nothing with it doesn't win games.

Very true but it surely is a cause for concern. Stats say second half they beat us 0-1 despite having a player less.

Possession stats are so misleading. Remember the jacks keeping the ball for ages but barely getting away from their own box. I know what you mean about the 2nd half but it's quite common for teams with 10 men to win games. Yes they "won" the half, but it means little. Having said all that I am concerned overall as we are a very average team, but getting away with it at home as most of the other teams are just as bad!

I think there's a hammering on the cards for us in the not too distant future, may even come against Watford or possibly Bournemouth.
Tbh we're a pretty run of the mill team as has been proved by Blackpool, Bolton and Millwall amongst others. :(

Liverpool had 63% possession in todays game against palace. How did that do for them?

It's not all about possession but if you don't think playing at home and having a extra player for 45mins and not having more possession and losing the second half isn't concerning then fair enough I have no more to say on it.

Very concerned about us winning.
