And now I’m worried.
I’m hoping for the return of JG and AA as soon as possible.

Well summed up.
The momentum of 7 on the bounce culminating in the asssured victory in the Derby has somehow been lost.
With the squad he has at his disposall a couple of injuries (although to key players) is not a valid excuse.
Like Louzie0 - worried.

The momentum hasn't been "somehow lost" it's been lost by Brucies negative tactics....again.

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
