Without the injuries we'd almost certainly have finished Top 4 the last 2 seasons. The advantage the bigger clubs had over us was quality squad depth - that's how they can have European campaigns and still compete for Top 4 so regularly. We keep improving ours season by season and now have that quality cover for more or less every position.
We still have Jonny Evans, Timothy Castagne, James Justin and Wesley Fofana out ... but 3 of those are close to coming back ... so it's little wonder that we are looking forward to this campaign.
Obviously you can't remember, so I'm going to take a visit to the vault and drag out the required evidence to show you once again that you owe me an apology.
