Naivety as an athlete or as a team is what divides the good from the great.
Will be interested to see how we line up on Thursday. If it goes badly (against a team we dominated a week ago) then I wouldn't say it's a good thing in the long run as expecting Ollie to play every minute of every game next season aswell is a bit complacent.

We need to crowd the ref, appeal for that fucking handball. Roll around and scream for a free kick or the inevitable penalty, Chris Kavanagh - job done as far as he’s concerned. Sure he’ll get a bonus for that. Finally, is there a bigger c**t in world football than Bruno Fernandes? I think that's an interesting point.Take the Greenwood handball. We should've instantly taken one of theirs out to stop the game or just boot the ball out of play and crowd the ref as doing that I reckon he'd have gone over to the monitor to have a look.Instead play went on for about five minutes without ball going out somehow and bet at VAR Hq they couldn't believe their luck in that the incident could just be dismissed given the length of time passed.All very frustrating.

I think today proved we are just a mid table team. No more than that. Slightly higher with Jack. Something we need to build on in the summer. A number of these players won’t be starters come August one would hope.

It had to happen eventually, but Thursday night we get to see the current Villa side without Watkins. Not a great prospect.
Commentators want firing into the sun, along with Fernandes and the assortment of ****** that play for them.
