Re: Why we are going down
We were relegated because we weren't good enough. In all departments. From management - they bought a mixed bag of a squad of young inexperienced average players and expected them to knit together from the off. There were players arrived almost daily from clubs and leagues most fans had never heard...

You’ve just described established PL teams like Man United, Brighton, Wolves and Chelsea (where we played with 10 men for a good proportion of the game - something that must have been lost in the edit) as ‘dross’.

Form is better, I suppose drawing at home to a depleted Wolves, playing a rancid Everton into form and not beating a poor Brighton is an improvement. I'm the weird one, that's not very kind.
