Guest Grandad Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 90th minute. Boxing Day. 2-1 up at Stoke and 3rd in the League. 42 points gained. Deservedly so. 95th minute. Lost 3-2. Since then the total collapse, alienation of senior players, and just 13 points gained. Its July. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED IN THE DRESSING ROOM AT STOKE?

sonofbert2 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) All our madness happens at Christmas. Dooley, Carlos, Westwood/Jos and then this season too. Boxing Day Massacre was a bonus like. I think something kicked off re. time off over Christmas again and bridges were finally burnt. Hutchinson fuckedoff in January and Westwood never featured since. Same happened under Bullen too thinking about it, won at Forest then got thumped by Burton. Weird and rotten.

WalthamOwl Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) That’s the day it all went wrong. I was in Preston at the time visiting the inlaws. I left the pub and we where 2v1 up with Injury time to go, I was in a right good mood, got back to the house and we had lost 3v2. Since then it has been a nightmare.

I think Neil alluded to it in a separate thread - this match, like many others in the first half of the season, were tight affairs with us generally not playing that well, but getting a lucky break or two. Our 'luck' ran out that day and hasn't returned. The fragile nature of the players' mentality and their poor physicality has since combined to put us in perpetual free-fall. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0114 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Was such a defining moment in the season. Seemed to get ourself in a rut from then on and never got out. To go from beating Forest 4-0 before Christmas to the side that went out against Stoke, Cardiff and Hull. I don’t know how such a decline happened.

Lincs Owl Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 The last time I went to Stoke was about 12 years ago. Proudlock scored a cracker and we were 2-1 up late on. We lost 3-2 to a last minute goal. We're obviously cursed. Need an exorcist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hutchinson threw a punch at Monk that missed and hit Westwood in the shoulder. He fell onto Forestieri's bike and broke it. FF got mad and kicked Winnall in the nuts, who then pinched Rhodes' arm and made him cry. That's what I heard. What happens in Stoke stays in Stoke.

SallyCinnamon Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) The amount of last minute goals we were conceding up until Christmas was ridiculous. Blackburn away, Swansea at home, West Brom away, Cardiff away. We could have genuinely been top going into Christmas if it wasn’t for last minute lapses in concentration. And we are still seeing those lapses now, last night a case in point. A truly remarkable season. I’ve never seen a side be third at Christmas and then go on to completely slip down the league at the rate we have.
