No one's "looking to find fault". It's a discussion forum. For...
discussion.
Indeed before yesterday's game there was a consensus among many that Wycombe would be the first to score against us in the league, so there's no disappointment or surprise in the goal itself. However the fact of the matter is that before yesterday we hadn't conceded in the league, after the game we had. Even though a goal against was inevitable - certainly when facing the better teams in the league - when it happens one is inclined to ask the question,
'what happened in order to break the spell?' I can guarantee that Coley will be asking the same question of the lads in training and will be working on how to plug the hole before any great big gaping gaps appear.
The best teams are always looking to improve and
none of those will ever look at themselves and say,
'well, it's only one goal against...'. To reiterate an earlier point, it's not about expectation (it's really not), rather the quest for positive consistency and its paramount importance in relation to success.
