"Omitted starters": Tetsujin1979 does an excellent job of reporting weekly on starters, scorers, assists, cards, etc. I'll leave the starters to him.
"post is incomplete": Yes, I declared that it was probably incomplete.
"absolutely tilted towards negativity" Or perhaps realism, in terms of chances of success in 2021/2? At the moment we have 4 regular starters in the Premiership; 2 of them play with Sheffield Utd. Come March I'll be hoping and praying with every other fan of the BIG, but I do feel sorry for Stephen Kenny.
Merry Christmas to all. Stay safe.
