Flew back two days ago and this was my first game in four years. Turned up with the old man and was determined to try and be positive despite having doubts about the team from countless streams in the US. I have to say it was soul destroying. The atmosphere was poor, there was no buzz, the players had no identity, tempo, drive or desire to go after the game and everyone around was either complaining or just sat there numb. Burton had two shots on goal and reminded me of the relegation strugglers like York and Lincoln from the early days of the Madstad, they were woeful and somehow came away with a championship three points thanks to some of the worst defending I've ever witnessed. It was comical.
I have tickets to the Birmingham game and just have no desire to go. we have some quality players but a manager I have absolutely no faith in. This style will not work in the championship, play to the players strengths.
Such a sad day, barely recognize the club I had a season ticket at for 13 years. The video of the greats beforehand brought back some good memories, then we served up one of the worst performances from a reading team I've ever seen.
