Don't know why I am bothering as seems people have now made up their mind and fully turned, but why does seemingly everybody seem so convinced we are going to lose tonight? I wouldn't say I am confident we will win, but I am not expecting us to lose (I am sure if we do people will come on and get some really perverse pleasure in gloating about it).

We have only lost once in our ten home matches this season, and that was 1-0 to Cardiff. Saturday was the first time all season we have lost consecutive matches, and that was away at Exeter where we have lost our last eight league visits in a row, and won just twice in 21 visits, regardless of managers, coaches, players. The match before that we lost away at Luton, in a match where we played well and were the better side for a large portion of the match.

We have played four more away matches than home this season, four of our six matches in our winless run have been away, and they have been to Cardiff (top of the league, we played very well in large spells second half), Luton and Exeter (see above) and Wimbledon (poor game but we didn't lose). Our two home matches we didn't lose and but for fucking up after taking the lead in both to let the win slip, we really should have won both.

I get we played shit at Exeter (we always do), we are on a concerning winless run and aren't keeping clean sheets (the two are very much linked) or scoring at the minute, but I really do think there is a massive overreaction going on right now about how bad we are and we really have been rather solid at home all season.

I can understand not expecting us to win, and with our missing players we are very stretched right now that would test any manager (Revs isn't helping himself in a number of ways but there is only so much he can do with what is available to us right now), but the negativity right now, and particularly at the upcoming three home matches, seems ridiculous to me.

I look forward to seeing the replies to this from those who want us to lose and Revs to be sacked just so they can be right, after we lose 3-0 tonight 😊
