We almost seemed better playing three games in seven days with no time to think about it.
I just got the impression that the fans, the players, the manager, the club, began to believe the hype and had 2 weeks thinking about how good we were. The manager gets the MOTM award, we're joint top of the league, easy games coming up, everything's rosy. Then we go to Wigan, the manager changes the team/formation thinking he's going to smash them easily because we're so good, and then what - we find out we're not that good after all and the good run was just a purple patch that's just fizzled out.
We're not 'so good' without Sow and Dawson. Even having Semedo as an option.
With the Wigan game, you had Sow, Dawson and Grabban (he didn't start) out. Not many teams can take the spine of their side out and still keep their momentum.
