The two teams were very similar levels at the end of last year. They had an excellent off season and made good in season adjustments when they were under performing.Isn’t I’d depressing to see manure secure 3rd I think considering where they were a few months back. Look at us it is absolutely gob smacking the shit show we have endured in the past 5 months. We have had plenty of opportunities to get out of this mess starting with the spam game at home last min winner. Hold on ther for just even a draw and we would have been safe by now. Ffs Frank may still have been manager and we could have got rid in summer and got Poch. But we blew it big time in so many games, I think if we stay up it will be despite us rather than us doing anything.
We did the opposite. In a year of absolute mediocrity in the EPL, we managed to shat the bed.
IF we can stay up, shows a huge jump is possible next year. We have a great manager now. As always, need ownership and whoever is leading recruitment to actually not suck.
We have some building blocks. But need 3-4 actual difference making signings.
