Its a forum and we all think we know more than the manager.
As soon as the BC team was announced it was obvious to me we'd struggle. How many times have we weakened the team with changes for a cup game and we've then been dire? We had 2 injuries and so that was enough, to add 2 more changes just made us disjointed.
We have won plenty of games, but have also been not clinical/professional to keep conceding a late equaliser. That is costing us.
Iam not gagging to get back to the PL , what does it give us? A ego trip to say we are in the league that basically the media are only interested in 5 teams, where we are the whipping boys time and again. Where we find some gems who then are taken away to feed the top 5 or 6. I have been watching for many decades andso have become disillusioned with it all.
No VAR is also a plus, I accept we will lose a lot of our best players (nothing new there, most are loans anyway) and we will be left with the dross on big contracts we cant get rid of.
