Well we've lost 8 of the 16 games since doak got injured. We lost 9 of the 29 before that so that's a very clear difference. Mcgree only started 11 games this season and he's been in and out so I'm not sure any distinction to be made in our form with or without him, but I know when fit he's far more effective than any of our other left wing options have been this season.
Fry, i guess what I should have said having a settled backline in general. Weve had way too much change and inconsistency back there due to all the injuries. That's more the issue than any one defender being missing.
Doak and mcgree the big ones for me. Think we would have picked up a few extra points had we had fry fit all season and Morris instead of barlaser for those 2 months before Christmas too.
Said in summer and in January he'd be my number 1 target to replace latte lath. Thankfully we picked up iheanacho instead
He'd probably cost a fortune though. 15mil up id say. Assombalonga territory..
They've underachieved worse than us. I think quality wise they're on a par with our squad. Far better in the final 3rd. They should have been competing for play offs.
Yeah, I see a lot of people calling him a club legend and that he deserves a statue and all this rubbish on social media a lot. When in reality he's been a mainstay and captain of our most under achieving run as a club since the 70s and during our 2nd longest stint outside the top division ever. The club and him have been a failure for his entire spell here.
