I think had we not lost 2 league games, then the reaction may be slightly less negative

I don't think we deserved to lose at all on the balance of play. But, games are not won on the balance of play. Brooks probably should have scored, but did we create much else? We hugged and puffed, but couldn't break down a packed, deep lying defense.

We didn't look at our best, Pelle gave the ball away countless times, very unlike him. Some players still look a little of being sharp enough.

I think we will get that sharpness and cohesion as the season progresses, no panic stations. Just maybe a level of realism has kicked in
