Automatic promotion has never been a target this season, so what exactly does "destruction" to our season wrought by injuries refer to? Not winning the play offs? Failing to make the play offs? Even if we were to lose both upcoming games before the next international break, there would still be absolutely no reason to think a top six finish would be beyond us. We are improving all the time, individually, as a team, and as a squad, the latter illustrated yesterday by the way we were able to control the game for nigh on 80 minutes before the handicap of injuries etc. eventually took its toll. The pattern of continuous improvement is exactly as Thorup has predicted before each international break, saying he can't wait to see the team in action when the league resumes -- December being the latest iteration. Furthermore, if reinforcements are needed, we have the financial wherewithall now to meet any such need in January. When the season kicked off, very few, if any, on here predicted a top six finish; if we finish where we are now --10th -- we would have exceeded many expectations. I can't envisage any remotely likely scenario in which our season ends up "destroyed". We are on an upward trajectory which injuries may slow but cannot derail.
No, I don't think so. Forson shadowed their player to near the box without making a challenge, Hanley was there, but also made no challenge, cross, goal. Too predictable.
I'm seeing a lot of criticism for Forson in relation to the first goal, and probably rightly so, but for me Stacey also needs to take some. Once the winger beats Forson, Stacey could have stepped in to challenge him but instead retreats
