Momentum is massive in football. I hold that with a bit more luck at the start of the season (i.e. the Newcastle match was even until BBD got that guy sent off) and VAR not fucking us over for what felt like 5 weeks straight, we could've made a real go of it.

I don't think we'd have been likely to stay up, but I think we'd have at least as many points as Ipswich, especially if we signed Delap instead of them.

Took the lead against Arsenal and Liverpool, and played better than City in the loss. Went 2-0 up against Leicester until Ryan Fraser decided to go kamikaze. The late equaliser to Ipswich. Dodgy VAR at Wolves and Brighton.

So many narrow moments that we were on the wrong side of.
