People still on about play-offs after Wednesday night are delusional, we are two points above relegation and most teams below us have a game in hand. It would be a miracle if we got a win against Bolton and very unlikely to beat Huddersfield (gore suspended as well after a stupid foul !,) so we have to realise we are fighting to avoid relegation this season. A huge factor is the injuries catching up with us, shocking recruitment signing injury prone players like Benson and Etete. We have to play James at left wing back if MH insists on this formation, Powell is no wing back and we miss his work rate and touch in the centre when he is stuck out there. Not recruiting cover for James was a huge mistake and a lot on here said that at the time. For me though the blame sits at board level, allowing his mate to waste money and then slashing the budget and not making enough funds available to bring in a out of contract player when we were on a decent run. These so called executive leaders have let contract after contract run down and they are doing it again with Powell, I expect an awful January window, and the result of which will be a scrap to stay out of the bottom six and knowing TS he will blame MH and end his reign in a panic to stay in the league. Two defeats to bottom four teams is terrible, but it is about to get worse.
