Was having a look through our results from the Cardiff game.
Didn't realise we only won one of our next 14 games, scoring a measly 10 goals and that win was Rorke's Drift against Blackburn.
It was rotten to watch, some of the worst football I've seen in that period.
The previous 14 games had seen 23 goals, 8 wins and 3 draws.
I'm not a big fan of saying one player can make a team but it seems as though he did.

He's been a big miss. Our slump started with his injury But now I think the slump would've occurred anyway

It’s the equivalent of Spurs losing Kane. Huge loss.

Enormous loss when you see the statistic from Saturday that when Fletcher went off the players left on the pitch tasked with scoring 2 to win had scored 13 goals between them all season.

Well we’d better sought something out and quick because he’ll be off in the summer, same as Collins and Souttar. If you’ve read in the sentinel what he’s dad said he’ll be off.

BIG miss quite clearly.. more worryingly we don't even know if he will be back fit for next season or, given the 'top secret' nature of his injury, whether he will recapture his form if/when he does come back.. an effective return is certainly not guaranteed from a serious knee injury. With the added sprinkle of MoN's negative fairy dust I really cannot say I'm looking forward to next season at all right now! Good times  |

While it was thrilling to watch the rapid development of Campbell towards the end of last and beginning of this season, his absence has been very overrated, or, his further development would have screetched to a halt, once the opposition starting kicking him down. They went kicking Powell, Fletcher, and even McClean, instead, and to look at the amount of minor injuries they've had, it's not difficult to imagine that Ty wouldve been in and out of the team consistently like they have.
Furthermore he's achieved mythical status in absentia among some, leading them to believe a fit Campbell would have made us top Norwich in the league, and that we will be the greatest team next season. My feeling is that we would have ended exactly where we are even if he had been an ever present.

We shouldn't be relying on one young player, I don't want to say he's been a big miss but the proof is in the pudding.

Had Fletcher and Powell been fit since his injury I don't think he would have been such a big miss but when they've played they've not been 100%. A fully fit Campbell, Fletcher and Powell would have torn most teams apart and were starting to show that before Fletcher's injury. As I said above the sad truth is that without those three the rest of our squad have scored thirteen goals in total all season. |

My feeling is that we would have ended exactly where we are even if he had been an ever present. This. His absence is now treated as though he was this mythical creature which transformed everything around it. The play around him when he was in the side was pretty bad. After he was injured it was really bad and then got worse still. One player doesn't excuse the piss poor football we have been dished up since. They cant even do the basics right, (you know, like run for 90 minutes) let alone anything else. I just laugh now when we get a corner or a free kick or even a throw in because I'm just waiting to see the latest way we can cock it up! Yes, he is a miss. He is a good player at this level but it doesn't change the piss poor efforts of the players that have been playing. The real question is, who is to blame (yet again) for the piss poor efforts? Answers on a postcard......... |

He has been a big miss, but I think had he played he would have hit a lean spell as all strikers do. Had he carried on scoring and providing goals he would’ve been sold in January anyway. It would have been too much to ask of him to carry on at that level shouldering the rest of the useless team. I hope he gets back to a good level as soon as possible, but let’s not kid ourselves that his presence was just papering over the racks in what is a demotivated, over paid, over hyped, technically bereft and generally useless bunch of players you’d ever have the misfortune of meeting.

It’s total wishful thinking, the midfield created and creates nothing. May have sneaked into the top 10, but we are 20 points away from the play-offs, I don’t see that Campbell would have got 20 points- and if he’d stayed fit, there is no saying that MO’n would have picked Fletcher, Powell and Campbell at the same time. |

A big miss but once they realised that they couldn't make the play-offs and weren't in danger of relegation the players lost all motivation with no crowd there was nothing to play for and they treated every game as a Sunday morning kick about. A lot of other teams have had the same problem.
15,000 fans will make a difference hopefully

So you don't think losing your top scorer and assist provider for most of the season and having your other two scorers and providers missing matches regularly and playing half fit would affect any team in the Championship? Before Campbell's injury we were scoring goals regularly without always being the best team, were in play off contention and yes there were signs that that forward line were really beginning to click. I don't think it wishful thinking that if those 3 players had been available all season then those 22 clean sheets - the second highest in the Championship - would have been turned into far more wins than draws. If you add in the fact that last season's top scorer(Clucas) and assist provider(McLean) have also missed a large part of the season through injury then I think we would have been very close to the play offs. |

When Campbell got injured in our 17th league match, we were in 8th place but only 3 points off 2nd. We had won 6 out of our previous 10 games including scoring three goals against Brentford and Reading and four against Huddersfield.
In the form table since Campbell got injured we are 20th with only Wycombe, Rotherham, Huddersfield and Bristol City below us.
That could just be a coincidence but I don't think so.
I wouldn't say that our underperformance has been solely down to Campbell's absence but it has definitely been a major factor.
