dont get me wrong, i thought we would, but the league position suggests otherwise. theres a better case for missing Barnes, but not worth it with all his detractors.
im not saying things are good, i just think relegation talk if daft when theres 2 weeks to get in players suitable. as covered...
that would suggest we didnt have a good enough first XI, when we finished 6. losing Ulloa is certainly a blow, but i dont see how losing a sick note, a player 6 months ago, and an admittedly very good defender turns us into a relegation candidate.
so of those left...
good money
sick note
shame but already covered (Huges, Dunk)
replaced (Stokedale)
went in January, didnt really miss/covered.
so accepting that its very disappointing those players we've missed out, things arent too bad and we certainly shouldnt be talking about relegation.
