Luckier than Collins? Eh? The man got sacked whilst we had 1 game left whilst in play offs. How is that lucky?
Another mention about how better we are without fans. Same with Val. Now our home form is **** with fans in. Perhaps we really do know the problem at oakwell..!
Just waiting for Keith Hill to confirm his availability. Reminds me of Lord Cameron stepping out of the car moment upon being unveiled as the new Foreign Secretary much to the amazement/bemusement of all. In the sprit of that, I’m tipping Jose Morais to be striding down Grove Street under a big BELIEVE banner in the coming days…
I agree with you that it changed the course of our season, but the big impact came from the enforced break, rather than lack of fans on the return. It gave them a chance to reset from the downward spiral they were in prior to Covid. If I recall correctly, the first game back was away at QPR, where we hadn't won in forever. Struber experimented with the line-up, and brought in a few youngsters, which raised a few eyebrows when the team was announced. We won 1-0 and that kick-started enough of a recovery to get us above the line in ultra-dramatic fashion at Brentford.
