BigGrantsTash 70 Posted October 23, 2021 From last time we were in the prem. We finished rock bottom last time round but looking back at results it’s clear we were more competitive. I fear for the “project” I really do. The whole premise of it is that with each promotion and relegation we supposedly “learn” and improve the squad We haven’t. We gone backwards. Considerably. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Wundaboy 1,359 Posted October 23, 2021 We’ve stood still and the rest of the football world has moved on. Last EPL season wasn’t enough evidence apparently, I wonder if this will be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dean Coneys boots 1,400 Posted October 23, 2021 Wheels have completely fallen off. The board ought to be meeting tonight and having a serious enquiry. Last two campaigns at this level we looked far more up for it. We don’t even have any fight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Starr 519 Posted October 23, 2021 Buendia and Skipp dragged us into the Prem... without those two, we wouldn't have gone up last season. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s very true We’ve realistically lost our 2 best players last season. It just always seems to be the case. Since that lambert promotion, events always seem to transpire in such a way that we end up with a weaker squad than the one that got us promoted. Whether that’s through selling our best players and replacing them with lesser ones or not signing anyone then getting key injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Petriix 2,835 Posted October 23, 2021 It's not just about losing two players. We've abandoned the philosophy and style that we'd spent 4 years embedding in the club. The midfield is an absolute joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We won the league last season because in our team we had by far the best player in the league. Beyond that we weren't anything special. Put Buendia into any other side in the top 6 and they'd have won the league rather than us. I've also said this before, only Taarabt in 2010/11 has bossed that league to the extent that Emi did last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
