Anyone else read the title of the thread and think there can't be many left from 1883 now?

I'll ask this question again, why did nobody tag the end of 22-23 on to the start of 23-24 when they were melting down about the poor start that season?

There was only a couple of months gap between the 2.

Because it was basically a different team. No Gyokeres, no Hamer, different defence, different type of attackers, whereas this team is basically the exact same as last season’s so realistically the form can carry over. There’s literally just a few months gap and that’s it, bar O’Hare/Rudoni and Asante (who’s only recently starting making a big difference), there’s basically no difference in the squad.

Very true. My brother died 13 years ago now, so there's only me left, unfortunately.

But you don't take into account the huge changes in the managerial and coaching set up?!

I've never heard such fucking hogwash

But what does that prove? We had a poor final third to last season and a poor start to this season. If anything it proves that the new coaching team have yet to improve the squad, as there’s been little improvement from March to now.

I’m still completely with Robins but he is still the manager and the team is basically the same team as last season, the buck stops with him, he needs to decide what tactics we’re implementing and what team we’re going with every week. I’m not saying I want Robins out I’m just saying we’ve not been playing our best football for a little while now and it’s the responsibility of the manager to change that.
