Even assuming that it does bugger up our GD (a huge assumption), it's still 2 1/2 points rather than 2.

Stop , in Hog's name !

Yes!  But it's the manner of the loss and another 4 goals against, It could and very much might come down to GD at the end of the season and the way we are shipping goals does not give anyone any confidence ATM.

Over the two games we get a minus 5 goal difference but gain 3 points.

Two draws would have given us zero goal difference but only 2 points.

I know what you're saying, but points on the board are far more important than performances and goal difference at this moment in time.

True, but two games is too short to give an indication of form. . Gary Johnson used to talk about 10 game blocks. This is a much more meaningful time period to measure success or failure.
