Building our season on an unknown CB pairing was always a risky strategy particularly if they got injured. Obviously we miss them but does it excuse how spectacularly our season has imploded?
How long will people keep trotting this excuse out? Once they got injured we should have found a better way of dealing with it.
I'm surprised at how low people's expectations have become particularly given we're in L1.
I would argue that we had a good strategy in having two players for each of the CB pairings, and with average luck with injuries it should have been successful.
People are not trotting out an excuse. It is a simple fact. I would also point out that blame does not lie solely with the lack of centre backs. Allowing players to cut inside from the left wing and letting players run past have cost us as well.
What were your expectations as the season kicked off? Mine was that with luck we would avoid relegation if we did not go into administration. I’m surprised at how high expectations are. One cannot completely rebuild a team every year. You cannot get away without having a pre-season every year. Top six was an ambitious target for a team cobbled together in a few weeks. To achieve it would be fantastic.
Were and are my expectations too low? Or are others with higher expectations delusional?
Start of the season I feared we wouldn't have a club left. Fast forward a couple of months and some expect us to be storming the league. It's just not realistic.

Should be mandatory upon purchasing a season ticket....

I didn't expect us to storm the league but given the squad we have assembled I expected better than this. It seems like some of our fans just wrote the season off.
