Think you need to realise that you've had one or two good seasons and that may be it for a while. This has happened to other teams in the past and will again in the future. Expecting to beat sides just because you had an outstanding season last year is setting yourself up for disappointment and accusations of arrogance.

I agree I wouldn't expect us to beat anybody. I would hope if we play really well we could beat anybody but expect to beat them , no way. If you expect to beat someone you will lose and I think that is at least 50% of our problem at this moment. Hard work gets you wins and hard work can't blossom if you expect to win.

Would you have expected to beat us in our first few years in SL- of course you would!

It really isn't poop, as I am not a new fan I remember that we came to SL together. At the time I didn't expect us to beat you, I hoped we had targeted it as a realistic winnable game but certainly far from expecting a win.

I've followed FC for far too long to expect them to win, as a poster said earlier it wouldn't surprise me if we are the first club to lose to London. Your club has done nothing for you to go about thinking your club should be winning these games.

News flash we are 8 games in and you've only won two games, on that form what makes you think you should be beating anybody ?

Were you expecting divine intervention or something? Are you unbeatable on a sunday and just cap on Thursday's and Fridays then?

You've won 2 from 9, wake up and smell the coffee

If you had played well for an hour and ran out of steam then your comment about Sunday might hold some water. As it is we had the game seen up after 20 minutes and were happy to just go set for set from then on. You can't blame that on fatigue.

Wow.... You do realise you are only two points in front of us currently don't you.....

Have to chuckle, last year at this stage we were told not to get carried away cos nowt won in April, this year same stage and we are in dire straits according to the very same opposition fans?

Cant work out whats changed, they also said the league means nothing so again whats changed? Personally I think winning the league is massive and will be dissapointed if we dont repeat the feat (not looking likely I know) but in our idiotic sport we could finish 8th and be Champions. Early Early doors and the players are still in pre-season

If you win your Sunday games how come your not still in the cup??? We are lacking just as much confidence as you..we went into the game even & our team mullered yours. The spine of your team is 1 of the best in the league but our lads stopped them playing..yours either wanted to fight or moan to the ref..not the way to win games..especially on a Thursday.

Cream always rises to the top...

the lower teams making a good fist of it at the start of this season with relegation looming.

nothing is won in april.

we know this.... start well most seasons, last season we were told 'you will taper off at the end of the season' but we didnt.

if we finish well this time happy days! the line now is 'one season wonders'
