[Exile on Spencer St]

I fear you may be right, andyd, in that the issue may be related to Charles.
I’m not suggesting his absence on the pitch is the problem but the above ‘form’ table is the result since his last game (Sunderland, which was also lost).
I just wonder if it has divided opinions amongst some of the players? Sincerely hope not.
Btw, had to smile when I read on the Beeb web site before the NI game that Charles “was struggling to get games”.
Clearly, damaged pride can be more debilitating than many physical injuries.
