This. Despite my support for Nathan, I did join the collective sigh when Gardner was named in the team - we desperately lack Ince's physical presence in midfield. Maybe he thought the players who did well at Wolves deserved to keep their spot?
The team had no belief whatsoever, and then he had to contend with a goal of 30 seconds. I fail to see how he f*cked anything up. They had no confidence at all, but it came back as the game went on. Given the calamity of the first minute we did well.
