Does anybody else feel that our fan base is as fragile as it ever has been in recent memory?
It isn't just one reason, there seems to be an accumulation of things that have left most of us with an underlying feeling of being a bit fed up with the club, the owners, the way we operate, the way we're playing, the way fans are treated and some individual players.
The three wins to start the season already feels like we were sticking a plaster over a gun shot wound and that's after just one loss.
The collective performances and style of play are obviously concerning and I think this is compounded by the lines Levy was spinning us before the manager search about returning to our attacking DNA etc.
I'm a season ticket holder and really enjoyed being back in the stadium, the atmosphere has been so good and like it was when the stadium first opened, I've absolutely loved going again and looked forward to it days before.
However, I'm already feeling like if we lose to Chelsea on Sunday the atmosphere is going to turn badly and we won't be able to get it back and part of me is dreading it.
It feels like such a long time ago how good we all felt that last season in the old stadium, I never felt closer to the Club during that time but it seems since that season and certainly since the CL final the relationship between Club and fans has been on a frightening decline.
How do we fix it? Is it as simple as getting a coach/style of play we actually enjoy watching? It would be a good start right!
