Will go against the conventional wisdom but I genuinely believe that this poor run of form that we’re on just now - provided it doesn’t really go tits up, which I don’t believe it will - is actually a very, very good thing for us in the long run, it exposes the players here that aren’t good enough to cut it in the Premier League.

Had we continued our purple patch on to the end of the season, it would trick people into thinking that certain players in the squad are good enough for the level above, leading to complacency in the transfer market this summer.

Instead a number of players have shown that they can’t be trusted to perform consistently, and will either be shown the door in the summer or have their role reduced to that of a bit part player for next season.

Robbie’s no daft, neither’s Tony Asghar, they’ll be seeing the same things that we all are just now, and it gives them a lot more clarity as to what needs done in the summer than if we were winning all the time.
