You all keep distorting what I'm saying and you've been doing it for five years - ffs!
I have NEVER said the manager has no responsibility!
I have repeatedly said he is ONE of MANY factors.
Even here, you're all desperate to generalise a whole season from one result.
I don't think we'll beat Swansea, but if we do, it will be "Top six, here we come!" again.
We have a team in transition, with lots of inconsistent wild cards in it. At the moment, we look very vulnerable against teams with quick, skillful forwards. That may change; it MAY not.
What irritates me are all these long-term predictions, made on the back of individual matches or even on the back of a particular player's performance in one game.
As I said on the other thread, have none of you ever learned from many years of watching the game that predictions are nothing more than guesswork, and that one match often tells us nothing about the next one?!
