Since I am in my first year of having my season ticket to myself after Alex dropped out, it is sometimes a bit of a chore to go to so many games close together.
At least we are playing two fewer games after losing to the Totts last night, but quick on the heels of that is another lunch time kick off, this time against. Burnley.
On paper, we should have beaten Huddersfield and Southampton to have "kept the pressure on" (© Tottenham Hotspur 2014-2019) the clubs above. Instead we managed to lose to the latter. Burnley are in that same area near the foot of the table. They will come to defend and keep ten players between the ball and their goal as often as possible.
We need to be clinical. Just as the Totts were last night. A game with few chances. Although we had one weak shot saved by the keeper that should have put us 1-0 it was poor. That we hit the post twice and the bar once wasn't really bad luck but simply terrible finishing.
Please don't mention defending. We have four first team centre backs. One returning from 7 months off with an ACL injury. Two injured, one of them for the rest of the season, One fit. Of the four full backs we have two injured and one returning from injury. One fit.
So pretty much threadbare against the fully fit first team international strikers the Totts could pick. It was never going to end well.
We have to hope for better on Saturday.
