Speaking as someone who hasnt, for one reason or another, had chance to watch us this season, I just cant get my head around whats happening.
We are clear leaders in the league, yet every week, I hear the majority of opinion on here say that we are poor - average at best, that no player is standing out, the style of play is horrible (long ball) and that the managers decisions and team selections, on the whole, are questionable. How can this be the story of a successful team ?
Whenever the next fixture comes around, all I find myself thinking about is how devastatingly demoralising next season could be if we get promoted.
Its very confusing to know what I want each game.... the natural emotion first and foremost, is always to win. However, I find myself wondering if its better that we draw or lose to avoid horrible humiliation next season (and at the hands of Sunderland, which is my greatest fear).
