Exactly. We sort of expect the occasional absolute disaster because we have been here before, and we have recovered before. One of the things I absolutely love about this current team (including management) is their resilience. So what if they get crushed and humiliated one day, they will come out swinging a few days later.
But people looking on from the sides think that a club that can go down 7-1 (or 5-0, or 4-0 etc), is flaky and unreliable, and the least likely thing to happen is a sustained set of decent results. Even though there are
multiple sustained sets of decent results staring them in the face. They can't see them because they can't take their eyes off the fireball in the middle of each set.
We have lost one league game at home all season. One! If we'd lost those away disasters 1-0 instead of 3-0 and above, the pundits might notice stats like that. But yeah, blinded by the light....
