Yes it’s a season in transition and we are outperforming expectations.
However my worry is that we’re on the wrong trajectory. First 10 games great, next 12ish managing lots of injuries, next phase we’ve got everyone back and we seem to have stalled.
Defensively we seem more vulnerable than ever (particularly Fulham & yesterday) and we’ve lost some of our attacking verve at the same time.
I was expecting first half of the season to be teething problems whilst the players adapt but we seem to be the reserve of that right now. Maybe oppo managers have worked out how to stop us?
