1-2 and this is a very disappointing performance. Not only is that we lose to a Championship side, but the way we played was just disgraceful. Although we may still claim advantage in possession but keeping the ball alone won't give you victory. You still need to put the ball into the net, and this is what we failed to do. Worse of all, our injury list is stacking up again. We need to turn around quickly (once again) and this time we need to keep going up, or the season will fall apart.
One big problem is that in general none of the players did really bad, but at aggregate we lack confidence. We need a few wins to kick start the season.
