Like several other results this season, there are no positives in those dropped points. Some players played ok, but the fundamental truth is that we keep defeating ourselves - no team in the league is worse at conceding their first shot against and we are appalling at chance creation AND conversion.

I’m still comfortable with where we are, but I want to disavow the idea that we’re a top 5 or 6 team. If we scrape 7th this year we’d have to call it a success.
Defensively though, much weaker without 1st choice centre backs especially.
So many of our stats are currently indicators of a relegation battle, so it’s credit to the team that we’re top half in some ways.
