Some people call it ‘second season syndrome’, whereby you survive the first season, but get relegated second season, this feels pretty much correct to me.
The VAR decisions going against us certainly don’t help, but it can’t all be coincidence, it feels more like a conspiracy.
Tbh i won’t miss this awful division one bit, it’s there purely for the top six clubs, nobody else counts.
It’s not an even playing field, and i don’t think it ever will be. It’s basically a ‘cash cow’, and unless you are absolutely minted you are not going to be allowed to break in. It will be interesting to see over the coming few seasons to see if Newcastle are allowed to enter, or will be kept at arms length.

Let down by VAR again. Zero flocking consistency!

I’m not confident we would have got anything (we were very poor), but another game where we will now never know.

Beat Luton and it will all be forgotten, but we have to be so much better.

Yet again, not a single pundit has said that VAR has got the call right. ‘Out of control’ definite Red, were MOTD pundits assessment, how on Earth can VAR get so many crucial decisions wrong ?? That tackle from Moder looks worse every time you see it, far worse than the McGinn red was Murphys call.
In the end though it wasn’t VAR that cost us this game, it was our own ineptitude to either defend a set play, or convert chances which came our way.

Having watched their goal again its clear that the free kick that led to the goal was a good tackle and OBD gets the ball and the Brighton player then catches him.

The only answer to VAR officials stubbornly refusing to overrule clear bad decisions by the ref, is to separate the two groups. That would stop the back scratching!
