Do me a favour mate! Where do you get this stuff from? Heard this “over performed” shilo the year we won the thing. Over a 38 game season, we lost three games, won it by 10 clear points, but apparently, “over performed”. I suppose reaching the quarters of the champions and first three losers league was still, “over performance”? For the last two seasons, we’ve been literally smashing onvtbe door of the cartel, before absolutely shitting themselves at the death. This, in my mind is “under performing”! The ability is there. Injuries hit us harder than Liverpool etc, because of an inevitable lack of squad depth, but injuries are part and parcel of the game, and shouldnt be whinged about. I think our problem is Bucks conservatism. Recently, we flew into a 3-0 first half lead, (WBA?) , before taking a foot off the gas, keeping the ball and seeing it out. In his interview, Brendan suggested that he wasnt happy with the first half, as we werent “precise”, enough. Most of us would rather be a little less precise, and more threatening. At two nil down to Newcastle, they retreated to the edge of their box, while we tip-tapped it around in front of them. Inwardly, they must have been laughing their cocks off. If the team let cut, and go for the throat, we have beaten everyone around us, and could do again. Sadly, I dont see it happening. Brendan is potentially a fine coach, but is flawed, abd shows little sign of changing.
“No underlying metric to suggest......... blah, blah, blah”? Dont get me started!
