We are this years Nottingham Forest.
I caught myself thinking that earlier.
Catch yourself on.
Exactly.
It's playing out as you'd expect, so far.
We are having a fallow period of form - corresponding (happily, if you think about it) to injury disruption (rather than just reverting to the mean, which was the case for Forest last year).
At the same time, certain challengers are coming on strong - notably Yanited and Chelsea. It's unlikely to last for either of them, and almost definitely won't last for both of them.
The other remaining challenger, Liverpool, has been unable to find form yet. But they will at some point (the signs are there, especially with Wirtz).
Like Liverpool, our weak form will bottom out and we'll return to strength - I think in part once we have resolved the structural midfield issue, and again when reinforcements (McGinn, Tielemans) arrive in March.
So, will we be conclusively overtaken by both Chelsea and Yanited by then? Unlikely, but possible.
And if we are, will we have
also been overhauled by Liverpool? Even less likely.
In all logic, not all of our rivals can be on red hot form at the same time.
Keep the faith, UTV!
