Still 29 points from 28 games so over 1 ppg and well above the relegation squabble this season. If our first 6 games only yielded 1 ppg we’d still be level with Brentford.
Was it? I was quite excited to see some of the youngsters start. Reckon Steele would have dealt with their first better too.
What do we know? RDZ may have even discussed giving youngsters a chance with TB and Barber.
The big question is whether we should have tried what Gary ONeill did at Wolves and go Hughton-esque for a while.
There is an irony though in fans seemingly wanting us to revert to April 2019 tactics.
With MacA and Caicedo around him, Gross shone, Gilmour couldn’t get much of a look in.
As much as I love how far Gilmour has come on, expecting him and Baleba to fill the void of those departing players left us vulnerable, and so it has come to pass.
I’ve never put so much stead in managers tbh, end of the day you rely on a great group of players. As you say, with a fit firing group we were up there with the best, right now I think you’d fancy playing us over everyone else including Sheff Utd and Luton.
But
i accept your point to a degree...
Is Enciso fully fit? Welbeck finds a Thursday - Sun probably tough too. Would Veltman have made any difference? Similar result and we’d perhaps be asking why he doesn’t play some of the youngsters?
Baleba’s omission surprised me though out of all of those.
It’s amazing that we can be furious Potter has the audacity to leave, then 18 months later with our first dip in form for over 2 years we’re demanding our manager be sacked. Bit of a joke really, only it’s on us.
