We must have been at different games.
I think we're a good chance to beat Port next week based on what I saw last night.
There seems to have been an expectation here that the 18th team from last year would beat the best team from last year.
Great to be passionate but really?
Momentum shifts and the odd lairy moment are inevitable in any game of football, are they not ?
There was not a single moment watching that game, when I thought we would win, or could win, or deserved to win. So in that respect, yes, we probably were watching different games.
Being passionate or dispassionate is not the issue. There's a particular brand of psychedelically-laced pre season Kool Aid that seems to be very popular around here, which I simply don't drink.
People's attitudes are opinions are very entrenched. You will read folks on here who are absolutely convinced that we have a good list, a list that is not the problem, a list that can win regularly, despite the rather glaring fact that there is little evidence to support such a claim. Apart from the obvious names (Cripps, Doc) etc., most of our list is either very young or very ordinary, and any claims that it's a great list are at worst hopelessly incorrect, and at best unproven. Naturally, when the sh1t hits the fan, such posters have already convinced themselves that the coach is the problem, and on and on it goes......
