Hearing the reports of today’s game it seems the nerves from the tail end of last season are still hampering the team at home against lesser teams. When we first got promoted we won a good number of the games against teams in and around us.
Then last season all the confidence drained and we can’t seem to shake that off. The players seem nervous, I remember Duffy saying after the Bournemouth game they all look at the tables and know the enormity of these games and it hampered their performance. Potter and we the fans need to help them get over that.
Still some positives:
1. It was must not lose and we didn’t.
2. None of the teams around us won either.
3. Bournemouth lost ground on us and had Cook sent off.
4. Trossard is back on the scoresheet.
5. Still level with the tracker and goal difference worth an extra point at this stage.
6. Might shock Potter and the board into realising we need reinforcements.
