Simon Terodde summed up the sadness on Schalke: "That was a real sh ... game", said the top scorer of the Royal Blues after the 1: 4 (0: 1) at second division leader Jahn Regensburg on Sky.

After just four days of playing in the lower house of football, Schalke has his back to the wall.

After the final whistle, the Schalke fans who traveled with them expressed their displeasure with sometimes loud whistles in the stadium.

Others, on the other hand, seem to be so frustrated that they go a step further and even demand a new head coach and the separation from Dimitrios Grammozis.

“Schröder react!

IMMEDIATELY! ”It was said on Twitter, for example.

There is still enough time.

As a possible successor, the name of the former coach Domenico Tedesco appears again and again on social media.

Grammozis himself did not want to gloss over the slump in the Upper Palatinate.

"It was too little - and if you then conceded three standard goals against, that's all in all very negative today," the coach summed up: "We mustn't present ourselves as we do today and lose at this level."

Consolation goal by Terodde

Especially in the offensive, the Schalke team appeared far too harmless and in the first round they only had a significant chance of scoring with newcomer Marius Bülter (38th).

Similar to Terodde, newcomer Dominick Drexler saw it: “We showed a very bad performance today.” In the upcoming home game on Saturday (8.30pm in the FAZ live ticker for the 2nd Bundesliga, on Sky and Sport1) against Fortuna Düsseldorf, you have to be completely different present.

The defense was also anything but secure on Saturday, as Florian Flick's loss of the ball impressively underlined immediately before conceding the first goal.

Although Schalke got into the game better in the second half, Regensburg made the decision early with the second goal in the 55th minute.

Top scorer Terodde only managed the consolation goal shortly before the end.

While Regensburg greets with twelve points after four games from the top of the table and is without a doubt the team of the hour, the Royal Blues are stuck with four points in the lower middle of the table.

For Schalke and Grammozis, only looking ahead should count.

“We have to keep working.

I don't want to use the fact that we have a ragged squad as an excuse, "said the 43-year-old, referring to the radical upheaval in the summer squad:" We have to become a team quickly and know that it won't be an easy season. "But that was the Schalke clear even before the start of the season in the second division.
