That would be the sane thing to do and is my intention for a couple weeks. But people are understandably panicking because it’s all about form. A few weeks ago we were unbeatable. Luton, Burnley, Sheffield United, Forest couldn’t find a point, never mind a win. “Should have given us a 15 point deduction
woohoo Evertonnnnnn
.”
In no time at all the promoted teams have started either scrambling to the odd win, or at least making a really good battle against better teams, Forest have a new manager (which didn’t look a good fit at all) and have won two in a row. No surprise they won tonight. We firstly went back to the form of September; playing well and getting nothing, goals dried up, then finally succumbing to the worst performance of the season. Dom looks like he will never score again, and we have mystery injuries to 2 starting midfielders, an unfit Coleman and AWOL Young, and are having to start Gomes, which 4 weeks ago was laughable. Square pegs all over the shop.
But it just proves form does swing in the blink of an eye unless you are an elite consistent team, and it will do so again. Its just hard to see it after an absolutely embarrassing one sided mauling by a mediocre team.
Hate saying it, but I’m worried enough to not be that bothered about the cup match. Purely due to lack of squad depth.
