Instead we entered this god awful jinx of a period where building any momentum was nigh on impossible. Give Ange at least til the end of the season I say.

Some will counter this by pointing to our early season failings. Yes, we had some disappointing results with a full squad, but they were all close games. Had we continued with our first 11 who knows where it might have led.

The team is spent. The players’ ability to do the basics that we’re all bemoaning is bound to be impacted. Defoe was talking about players hiding a little, which is understandable when they’re this depleted and confidence is shattered. We can’t truly assess Ange until we’re back to full strength.

Let’s just play the youngsters! No fear from Scarlett, Ajayi and Moore! What an awesome finish to the match tonight.

I thought that was a problem with my headphones! 😆
