So, what next?
Do you think the team / manager / club should carry on as they are, or abandon the current strategies and go for big players with increased physicality (whatever that is)?
Given the fact that our squad is essentially fixed until January and we can only use the players available, I’d suggest that as supporters we have limited choices. It’s basically stop supporting or carry on supporting and hope we play better. As for the team, all they can do is carry on, believe in what they do and do it better. They can’t go changing it all mid season or believe that endless tweaking will somehow reveal a magic answer.
We played poorly at times yesterday - it was the first time in a very long time I left the game disappointed in what we’d done and how we’d played. I understand Farke’s interpretation of the match and how it went. He is basically very optimistic and always takes something positive from the game, in public at least. He has to. I guess so do we, otherwise we’ll all go insane.
