It's a moving target. Last season the benchmark was Burnley and we had drifted far behind them. Now its meltdown because they beat us.
We've lost form and confidence, we are a form and confident team. We need both to play to our best with our system and style of play.
We've lost numerous players to injury hampering our options to change things because we have a small squad in comparison to most. The players that are playing are tired after a long season.
With our best side at their best we have nothing to fear, but scratch the surface like we've had too in the second half of this season and the quality and options are lacking.
Usual don’t dare attack the status quo offering from you DJ.
We had an excellent group of players available yesterday who I believe are better than Burnley’s group. Do you think Burnley’s team yesterday was better than ours on paper? Look at our front four compared to their championship strikers Barnes and Wood.
They just understand the system they are playing and are motivated and fighting. We are none of those things.
Why are we tired? We’ve hardly played, we don’t play first team in cups or Europe like every other side and they spend a lot of the season posting Instagram photos from Dubai or various holiday destinations. Eddie has lost his grip on making the players fit enough to play 50 games. They probably play 30.
I use Watford as they are smallish, came up same year as us so have had same cash for four years. They are also in my opinion less talented a squad (remember us against them this year). They are above us in the league and in a cup semi. Oh... and DJ....they are not tired. Some of the happy clappers on here need to stop referencing Swindon for our relative success and start looking at other teams that have had a 450m cash injection from Sky since 2014.
We need to get over ourselves, stop making documentaries about our story and pull our fingers out of our ****************
