So we're talking a minimum of 10-12 games of utter turgid football where we've scraped points against those we should have beaten and lost against those we should have shown at least a modicum of fight against.
Coupled with the total shambles the commercial side of the club seem to revel in ("150 years of one of oldest clubs in English football - so let's go off piste and design everything in house. Although by "in house" we mean we have no clue who'll do it").
We're 10th. I know it's not as bad as the lower reaches of league one. But still, this is depressing.
Look, I am hugely disappointed with today's result. But when was the last time you came away from a game thinking - wow, that was a genuinely vibrant, passionate Wednesday performance?
