Reality is we have had as many poor performances as we have had good this season and quite often one follows the other.
Ultimately our inability to get a striker in the January window, whilst allowing Afobe to leave (whatever peoples thoughts were on him and his personal circumstances), is starting to cost us dearly.
Not a 20 goal a season man, but one who can hold the ball up when we do go back to front and bring other people into play.
We've had a good season and may still scrape in the play offs, but for me we were one piece of the jigsaw away from crusing the top 6.
We were unfortunate that the Nisbitt deal fell through at the last minute.
I didn't think much of Afobe but you're right that he did give us another option, and shouldn't have been allowed to leave until the Nisbitt deal was done and dusted.
We've been lucky that Bradshaw has remained fit, otherwise we would have been buggered.
