Now the dust has settled 10:39 - Sep 7 with 3387 viewsPinnerPaul

Do we think we have overreacted a tad over the first game defeat?

We haven't finished building the squad, that wasn't even our strongest team & there are 46 league games to come and yet the reaction on here has, to me, at least been a bit ott.

Thoughts?

A huge over reaction IMO
Self flagellation after going out of a inconvemiemt cup competition ,started pre season .
An incomplete squad , including some who might leave anyway .
The cups are low priority for us ,have been for years ,yet we are surprised .
Manning scores goal and provides crosses but cant defend ..and we are surprised .
Lumley flat footed and concedes and we are surprised .
Debutant puts a bit more effort in as its his first game and is our best player .. what a surprise .

Why not judge them after say 15 games , with transfers settled in and out
Losing any game isnt nice ,I get that but we need to wait and see IMO .


Exactly. And let's face it, it's not the EFl cup that'll get Warburton sacked for, it'll be relegation. So I can completely understand his wanting to focus on the league with such a concertined season and a small squad.

We've still got a month until the transfer window closes. There may well be some other players coming in. We did some good loan business last season. We may well do the same this season.

After losing Eze I can for once understand why people are worried. But I think we should wait for a couple of months for a complete meltdown.

I actually enjoyed watching the game Saturday

You can see what we're trying to do and some of the football was fantastic at times .

I actually thought we defend better and look decent with Dickie . Individual errors like not bothering to track the runner ( Manning x 2 ) cost us again and I think Lumley could have done better or at least dive !

Squad does need a few more bodies which should happen in the next 10 days or so. I think upper mid table/top 10 should be something to aim for and would show continuous improvement

What we need to do is stick with Warburton regardless
