Player Valuation: £70m
Reality is we've been derailed by injuries. Our first team, when fielded has the capability of beating any team in the league, officials permitting. Trouble is they can't play together often enough due to sheer bad luck on the injury front, or losing their edge due to fixture pile up.
I'm not bemoaning our luck like a rs would. These things are inevitable in a season, and you ameliorate them with squad depth, which currently isn't of sufficient quality because we are Carlo's work in progress.
What gives me hope is we are now a team that can threaten top sides but frustratingly lose to lower sides that. I remember a Chelsea fan mate of mine bemoaning the same pattern some 16 years ago just before they started doing monotonously well.
