And has better luck with injuries than Hinsh had.

Zamora, Cullip and Kuipers all missed a fair amount of his tenure.

Did we not lose ten straight after the draw?

We just need to get a Paul kitson type character in, and I’m sure it’ll be fine

Hinchelwood was new to management, full stop, from what I remember. Potter is not an inexperienced manager.

It could also end up being like the 16/17 season.

Game week 1 I had a massive sh*t on the Saturday morning.
Game week 2 I had already had a massive sh*t Friday evening, so not sh*t on Saturday until the evening.
Game week 3 I explosive diareah.

It could also end up being like the 19/20 season.

Game week 1 I had a massive sh*t on the Saturday around midday.
Game week 2 I had already had a medium sh*t Friday evening, still, no sh*t on Saturday until the evening.
Game week 3 Diareah (not explosive but still resulted in a burning ring).

My conclusion is we will finish 2nd.

Yeah, Hinsh was a coach thrust into the job after Knight couldn't get his preferred managerto replace Taylor (who walked away knowing we had no chance) having just been promoted into a league we were way over matched for, with our star player injured, no new signings, at a stadium unfit for purpose.

Graham Potter is an experienced manager headhunted for this role with £60 million spent on new players and all the backing he needs
