Spot on IMO, and same goes for the OP.
There appears to be a prevailing attitude out there in fan media/podcast land that it is beyond argument and utterly inevitable the season is going to pan out one of two ways:
1. We inevitably and very very soon hit form/click/everyone gets their sh*t together and by December we’re umpteen points clear of the scum/2nd place and the league is sewn up.
2. We stumble along as we are, but seeing out games by one goal because that’s the “mark of champions”, winning the league by a smaller margain than we’d like but coasting to it none the less because the scum are p*sh.
IMO it’s utter fantasy land stuff if anyone thinks our current form is going to secure the league title and any cup wins. Too many within the support don’t want to call out what’s painfully obvious because we were all screaming that it wasn’t working around Jan-March 2020. We sorted it all out during that close season and lockdown and were immense to deliver 55.
No one wants to be the one screaming “this is p*sh!” if we go on to win the league and sweep all before us again this season.
Sadly, there’s absolutely NOTHING pointing towards that being how the season pans out.
