In the cold light of day, I would have taken a final day showdown. But we are properly limping towards the line now.
Squad is now easily in the worst state it been in all season going into the last game, and we have proved repeatedly our overall squad is one of the bottom 4 in the league. And whilst the equaliser was great and all, there is something missing from the performances. Forrest had it the last few months, Palace had it, Villa obviously months ago. Like they just all thought we are far better than the cack around us, let’s f’ing ‘av it. And it needed to happen weeks ago.
We haven’t got that. At all. The players and manager are trying bless them, but they hoping not doing. Fortunately Leicester are exactly the same. Huff, puff, concede, lose. Leeds just as bad in terms of quality, but still signs of desperation and desire which might save them.
I think we are 50:50 if we are 17th Monday night because I think we’ll get a point against a stubborn Bournmouth. If we are in the bottom 3 I give us no chance given that missing spark, I think we’d lose as we’d chase the game and concede our 496th transition breakaway goal of the season.
