I think fans need to put aside what their heart hope for and face reality that we’re just a very average mid-table league one side.
We’ve already been heavily beaten at home twice before November by two sides that will be in the promotion shakeup, showing there is a sizeable gulf in quality. We struggled to scrape a win against bottom of the league and as a football team, we’re just not very good. Expectations were high at the start of the season and rightly so, but the reality is we’re not going to be near that top 6 come the end of the season.
Assessment needs to be made on whether player recruitment or staffing appointments hasn’t worked, or maybe both, because if the intent and financial investment was to bounce straight back, then we’re falling very short of that.
I’ve not witnessed a game this season that I’ve thought we look a good side. We’re inconsistent, lacking creativity & defensively naive. I think players are certainly putting the effort in, but the missing quality and coaching tactical capability is really telling.
