I’m as frustrated as I am concerned. Our start last season gave us hope, we turned so many heads and raised so many eyebrows with how much of a force we were on attack. Without doubt the owners and investors would have seen and they had a choice, in January and as form started to slip, the club could have bolstered up on the pitch and we could’ve launched a serious top 6 bid. Of course, moronic of me to expect a hedge fund to gamble.
2022, odd good result aside last season, has been a pretty crappy year for us. As well as a crap January 21/22, this summer’s window was pants. It just was. I’m kind of sick of club officials making out they’ve turned a corner and rewarded us, and fans acting grateful just for keeping hold of certain players - especially as we kept hold of one of them by total accident.
I feel Robins is out of hats, let alone rabbits to pull out of them. Sorry but I’m not of that all too easy and unjustified presumption that we’ll win games in hand. We’re in a nasty dog fight. I dare say the hindsight brigade will be all over this if we end up having a good season. But the club has hit a ceiling without doubt, we go no higher than this league - and this league will always be a struggle at best “under the current regime”. Disagree if you want, it’s just what I feel.
Last season we were finding ways to win. On a few occasions this season already, maybe not today, we’ve found silly ways to lose.
