Then we underachieved in the 2nd half of last season when said effective formation was sussed, players ran out of form (yes, you Grabban), and fatigue & injuries kicked in and we had no viable 2nd string replacements. But overall last season our over-achievement was greater than our under-achievement, hence our 7th place finish. My view is that our natural level should be around the 6th to 12th mark.
Why single out Grabban?
I like Grabban and he's been a good signing looking at the bigger picture.
However surely we all agree that this season for whatever reason he has been poor, he'd probably admit it himself.
I dare say that if Grabban had converted just half of the glaring chances that he's fluffed this season then we would be sitting comfortably in the top half of the league and some folks wouldn't be on Hughton's back so much.
Another one - geez!
Yes - he’s not been as good or as prolific as last season. Who has at NG2?
Just explain why Grabban is seemingly responsible for our plight ( it’s an 11 man team, 19 man match day squad the last time I checked ).
Why is he taking the flak & not Taylor, Murray ( was supposed to be our saviour as I recall ), Knockaert, Yates, Ameobi, Lolley, Krovinovic, Hughton, Modesto et al.
You couldn’t make up some of the guff that you spout.
Blimey show some respect. He owns and pays for this forum and you are telling him to not spout shit.
Sniffer you are my favourite poster and I have nothing but respect for you.
