We’ve already done the doom and gloom and I don’t want to do it again.
Lucky or not it’s irrelevant. It’s happened and we only lost one so why get on a downer thinking we could or should have lost more. That is very destructive thinking which I hope the club and players don’t adopt.
And it doesn’t show how bad the squad is at all. We have the strongest squad in the Championship. I’m happy for you to tell me who has a stronger squad?
What it does indicate is that injuries have hit the squad hard. Missing between 5-10 players over this past month constantly will have an impact on training and match day. Also, we employed the wrong tactics vs Toulouse on the day and tried to batter 5 drives without the actual forward grunt and down to 15 players after losing Thornley and Rodwell. Maybe it wasn’t easy to adapt with only one half into an expensive or different approach.
But that has gone. What we want is to see the team pump fev at home.
Fev look like they’re missing a number of players like us but they seem to have reinforced the forwards and have a good set of 3/4 props. I’m not sure trying to batter down the middle for 5 plays is the way but we shall see.
