A thought occurred to me the other day when Andi Weimanns miss, v WHU, was brought up.
What If he had scored?
Obvious, I hear you say, we'd have won 3-1. Yes, it might seem fairly certain we'd have won. But would we have give our recent luck?
The other scenario is this:
Weimann scores.
Instead of going into a shell, he'd have been buzzing.
We may have even scored a second before half time, but we'll keep it at 1-0
Here's where it get's interesting:
Let's say the second half starts as it did.
Substitution time.
Dawkins for Bowery? Yes.
Bent for Weimann? At that particular time, probably not.
History then changes.
Bent would not have cleared of the line, 1-1
West Ham would then have been on a high, we're under pressure, the nerves appear.
I leave you to finish it off
Hindsight? Probably the most important miss of the season
I'd like to think that it would have been the catalyst to a big score to us.
