And it is going to get worse, with the critical injuries, confidence shattered and rudderless management.

Truthfully, I heard an interview on R5 and there was considerable sympathy for Roy. With Eze and Olise playing together, we are lethal. Without one or both we are toothless. They have hardly played together through injuries to both.

That is not wholly Roy's fault. The dearth of available payers is the owners and they are only now seeking to rectify that.

However, what that should have produced was a staunch, never die attitude from those available to play. It isn't there. And what causes greatest concern to me is the fact that Roy is known for his defence. we lose, sure, but don't get stuffed. However, we have shifted 11 goals in 3 matches with the same 4 defenders we had before.

Something is very wrong.

if he had a hamstring issue he shouldn't have played at all.

If he was ok to play i wonder if he didn't warm up properly. To feel something so early, after less than 10 minutes, suggests the muscle wasn't fully warmed up
