We were beyond shit before 2022 started and went on a massive run that pulled us out of the mess, so it’s a bit odd that people assume others can’t do it. For me we need at least one win or three draws in the next four games or it will be nail biting time again for the
final four games against top opposition and a (probable) relegation rival.
Next four games are crucial. Need to get ourselves more or less mathematically safe, because going into the final four needing a win from somewhere puts far too much pressure on the final Burnley match.
I think it will be Dan Ashworth's. I'd be in favour of loaning him out myself. Which league is less important than being guaranteed first team football in a suitable system under a good manager who understands the modern game. Can't believe how many players we've let rot in our reserves until their early twenties and even then when youth players get to the first team they are mostly nowhere near ready or good enough. The club's whole youth setup needs to be massively overhauled.
Fair play to Everton for grinding out a result.
Can’t wait for the season to finish and to demote the likes of Wood, Krafth, Murphy, etc. to the stands. In the end we still have a midtable squad that Howe had punching about its weight for a while.
