I am loyal enough to watch those highlights all the way to the end and you can clearly see the home fans barely celebrating the 6th goal.
Moral victory there.

You'd fit in well with our defence. |

And the 6th, he dives over the top of and misses the ball, almost comical. Also as Sippo says he's always routed to his line, as a team that plays almost a sweeper keeper system that's gonna cause some issues.
All 6 were embarrassing though when you look at the half hearted 'tackles'.
I still think that only the 2nd, can be obviously put down to Belford error. We know we can ship a few because we're trying to be attacking or play some sexy football, but albeit in a short lowlights package, most of those looked like the white flag had been raised and Scunny players were being ushered through to the Belford coconut shy....which is not acceptable, at any level of football. |

The second and 6th Belford could have done much better but Jesus wept what was Branco doing for the third. Absolutely awful defending.
Truly dismal from Branco. The second was a cross, so I don't blame Belford too much for that, but I guess I'm in a minority (of one?). I spent all day getting home from Carlisle, which as crap as it was seemed a better use of my time. |

3 of the 4 times we've had a recentish season which has contained shipping 10 goals in 2 consecutive games, we've been relegated.
The particular Hall of Shame this squad has entered isn't a pretty place
81/82 losing 5-1 at home to Uddersfield on the Saturday, then a calamitous only 2nd ever league defeat at the Manor
on the Tuesday 0-5...we went down with 52
93/94 the Prem season, we only managed it once, early doors 0-5 to Liverpool backed up in mid week by 1-5 at The Dell, but 100 goals conceded
98/99 0-4 at Loftus Road, then 0-6 at the CG v Ipswich...we still stayed up, so it can happen.
The Iffy season 05/06, having got up the table, a key game at the CG v Rotherham is lost 2-3 and backed up by the 1-7 at Forest...these 2 basically undermined the previous good work and took us down.

Football isn't a statistically predictable science Reg.
If it was nobody would bloody watch it.
Who cares what happened in 1998? I was still watching the teletubbies, I can assure you I'm not now (much.)

However there are certain patterns and tendencies which stats throw up....namely, in this case, it's unusual to ship 10 goals in back to back games, and if you do it tends to indicate you're in danger of relegation. So given we've spent most of the season in a relegation battle, it's not altogether surprising. Some of our back 4's purchases under McMahon resembled Tinky Winky, Dipsy, LaLa and Po. |

Still think it was harsh to pin that on him. It was a complete fluke. Summed up our day really. Just got back. It's not every day you that you clock 475 miles and a 6-0 defeat. One game where a pre-match beer or 3 really would have come in handy. All of which means that this game is going to be rather memorable. Brilliant. |

And you got home a bit quicker not going via Reading. :-) Just about to pull in now. Big thanks for the offer of a lift mate. As I said, much appreciated. |
