And there is the problem

Managers (most notably JHT, and it now seems PC) are more scared of players getting injured than they are of losing games.

Our injury record is still awful despite the tedium of "load management" and constant rotation.

I believe fans just want to see a settled team that builds some momentum and understanding. Injuries will happen.

We are a million miles off the sort of team Lambert built for us. Modern football I suppose. Yuck.
