The primary reason is obviously the injuries though I agree Bruce has been too cautious
Main cause for optimism? We’ve been here before
After a dreadful first three games we sparked Norwich - key was bringing in Davis
After two boring 0-0 home draws in a row we then won a lot of games - key was bringing in Kodjia and briefly going 442
After a terrible December we then won 7 in a row - key was grealish and a new formation bringing out he best in hogan, Snodgrass and Adomah
We’ll go again. Not sure it will be this weekend mind
