What I find really encouraging is not just the score line (we knew we had a couple of those in us) but that the squad is showing some depth and resiliency. To be honest I thought we would miss Wilson dearly leading up to this match (not to mention Lerma). Happy to say I was wrong! Season after...
Eddie excels at so many things but sometimes I wonder if he has the ability to get out the hairdryer at halftime during games like this. Pitiful home loss followed by halfhearted applause from players who put in a halfhearted performance is pretty hard to take. Not the first time either. Then...
If it were the same fixture but we were back in league one or even the championship I can't see Mousset, Ibe, or anyone else putting in such a low quality shift. It's the effort that worries me much more than the technical ability or decision making
