The collapse happened when he was injured though, that's the point. There was near enough consensus that his injury was a key reason for it. We were in a rut by the time he returned and couldn’t turn it around. Point is that you can't blame his mentality for the dramatic loss of form that season.
Pretty daft consensus when we picked up more points with him in the stand rather than the park. Not saying he was to blame but you need to be fair and accurate with your remarks. We picked up less points with him in the team than without, that's not opinion that's fact.
You also made mention of the minutes Lundstram played in the 21/22 collapse in an earlier post (I think it was you anyways). Obviously referring to the draws against Ross County and Aberdeen and defeat to Celtic. He actually gave the ball away against Ross County with a stupid long range pass which allowed them to get a corner and equalise in injury time. You also failed to mention the draws against Dundee United and Motherwell and defeat to Celtic, which were just as damaging as the other three. He started all of them and I think played 90 in all three. Five of those points lost from winning positions as opposed to four from the earlier three games, eventual gap at end of season was four.
With respect, what you've done is chosen a stance then picked the facts that suit that argument rather than consider all of them.
I'm not blaming any individual players but in the 19/20, 21/22, 18/19 to a lesser extent and this year (unless there's another twist) we've had the chance to go out there and grab the league and bottled it in each with some players being there for more than one of those seasons. You can't blame fans for being absolutely fed up with this.
