This is a game we should win. Obviously, you don't win all of the games that you should win just like you don't lose all of the ones you should lose. It is the championship after all.
However, with all the negativity that has been building, Wilder saying transfers were needed and were imminent at every press conference for the last month and then for nothing to materialise has put a real downer on things. It feels like there is a disconnect between the club, the manager and the fans. We can now no longer use any of those excuses. This is our 1st chance to put things behind us after the transfer window and it would be nervy anyway. Including Sunderland (and Mowbray) just adds a bit more nervousness.
This could be the start of our recovery or the first full step towards losing the backing of the fans. Once that happens it can be hard to recover.
Hopefully it will be a win, and a comfortable one, and it will settle a lot of the nerves for the season and give us a platform.
Is there really a disconnect between club, manager and supporters? The fans were singing Wilder’s name throughout the Watford game. It’ll be close to a sell-out tonight. The fans are very much onside IMO. The views of a few on here aren’t representative of the supporters as a whole.
