Glasner, Part 2

[silvertop]

So I'm watching Forest trounce Brighton 5-0 and proudly sitting third in the table and thinking how?
Are their players and manager that much better than ours?
And then it clicks.
Normally I switch off when the commentator gives out stats, but this time it's notable.
Most of Forest's team have featured in nearly every game and they have had a settled team for the bulk of the season.
Indeed, only the recently injured Hudson Odoi is shown as missing from the squad.

I'm not seeking to make excuses for our patchy form this season, but just imagine what could have been possible with a settled team for us (e.g Wharton, Eze, Chaloboah).
I don't think Forest will do as well next season if they encounter as many disruptions as we have had.

Having said this, a special mention to Bournemouth who have had lots of injuries but still managed to compete very effectively.

But where were their injuries? A spread rather than our collective absence in midfield.

Fulham too have been great this season, partly because they have had very few absences.
