On our way now! Part of me is trying to be optimistic as we haven't played badly in our two games against Liv this season...but then I remember our recent performances and a deep, nauseous fear sets in.

I'm the same. Chose not to go today, just couldn't do it. I just find it all exhausting...there is no joy, no bright moments or performances that make up for the drab. All gloom.

God, that was depressing. Another low to add to the mountain of lows this season...

It's so bleak and exhausting. Football should be the fun part of life, the escapism where you can forget the other stressful bits.
I find it's the other way round at the moment!

Yeah, idiotic! Got the less experienced players giving their all and then the supposed "leader" does that. Embarrassing.

That's the frustrating thing...there are some really good performances/signs but the negative/stupid stuff just outweighs all that massively.

A great listen, as usual, keeping us sane in these trying times (and look, TSP is top of my Spotify wrapped)

Agree. Zero expectations, hopefully some players will relish the chance to show what they can do (and even if it goes to pot, we can console ourselves with the fact that Downes, THB and Dibling will be well-rested for Sat!)
