Hi guys, hope everyone is keeping well and safe.
So the re-start will soon be upon us, and I must say that despite my reservations regarding the safety aspects, I am really looking forward to the games.
What do you think our chances of survival are then?
I think the break probably came at a good time for us. There was a look of resignation about the team, both during and after the last game before the lockdown against Leicester.
The team looked devoid of confidence, drive, ideas and belief and I can remember the despondent feeling amongst us all.
Hopefully though, the break will have provided the opportunity for reflection and some soul searching and fingers crossed they will return with a fresh desire and vigour.
I think with a fully fit John McGinn back in the ranks, it will be like having a new signing and that we will have every chance of survival.

I hear what your saying but we weren't exactly playing swashbuckling football before McGinn got injured.

True, and even if McGinn hadn’t got injured RHLT, I doubt we would have been much higher in the table, but he is one of our better players and because of the way he plays, with energy and 100% determination, I’m thinking that this may well lift the team in terms of moral and belief for these remaining crucial games.
There’s no question there are lots of areas where we need to strengthen and improve but let’s get through this period first and hopefully some of those issues will be addressed before next season kicks off, hopefully as still a premier league team.
No doubt there will be plenty to discuss on this site regarding those issues.
