I dont think it is just a coincidence that we have been so much better lately as finally, we have all our key players available.
Just looking at appearances so far this year, these are the number of times key players weren't even on the bench, ie injured.
Godden 19
Dabo 15
Marosi 13
Kelly 12
Walker 10
I haven't even counted Rose who seemed likely to be a first choice at the start of the season, and I don't think has been fully fit all year.
Also Dabo, Walker and Godden clearly all played at least 5 games when they were nowhere near 100%.
That is almost half our starting lineup not fit for 1/3 to 1/2 of the season.
If we still have Sam and Osti next season, and our key players stay fit, even without any new signings, where would our first XI finish?
