Is it because our team is full of youngsters and there teams have more experience?
The whole club morale is the biggest problem. The responsibility of which lies at the very top above SP. The instability of the whole club's future is effecting everyone, players, fans, management. Sepalla is the problem
Correct, everyone has a reason/excuse for failure except SEPALLAQuite ! Everyone from top to bottom has a ready made excuse for failure !
The important figure is the wage bill. Amount of money spent on transfers means almost nothing.
I'd guess our wage bill is in the top half of the league though.
Average first team age is almost 25 , another myth our supporters like to useIs it because our team is full of youngsters and there teams have more experience?

Preston north end ...Funds spent £0 ...2nd in league 1
Notts county ....Money spent £0 ...4th in league 1
swindon town 300k spent 3rd in League 1
bristol city ...unsure ...definately spent alot more than others 1st in league 1 .
as 300k would hardly buy you the quality to turn a whole side around , why is it that 3 of the top 4 have spent nothing or next to nothing , yet our supporters feel that pressley has it hard , we are a special case and the league1 equivelant of blackpool .
Nobody starting to realise hes just utterly shit yet
Notts county just avoided relegation , so they already had poor players in theory , with them it is that simpleThis is an extremely simplistic and inaccurate argument.
What is Prestons wage bill? how many of their best players left last season and had to be replaced with no funds, have they had to fill their squad with kids and whatever loans they can get? or did they look at a couple of places they were weak and supplement with a couple of strong loans? our squad has had a massive negative investment from last season (and it wasn't even good enough then), it's nuts to say these teams have spent nothing on transfer fees so should be equal to other teams that spent nothing on transfer fees.
We've had to build the vast majority of our squad in one season and with nothing and while at sixfields.

True, but over half the first 11 are 22 or under - keepers, Willis/Phillips, Haynes, fleck , Thomas/ finch

Contrast that to Swindon who just beat Bristol City with a first 11 average age of less than 22
Didn't Wade Elliot get sent off for Bristol in the 3rd minute yesterday?

That doesn't count?
Of course, but it's far easier to win when you're playing against 10 men for over 90 mins, or are you suggesting that Johnsons early sending off vs Scunthorpe had no bearing in that particular game?
Wade Elliott is 35 and getting sent off in the first 3 minutes of a local derby as well as a top of the table clash. Experience isn't everything and its a piss poor excuse to try and defend this seasons performances.

I dunno did it?
I never used it as an excuse. Our excuse is the squads poor and so is the manager.
Yes, we were on top, 1-0 up and Johnson got sent off at 25 mins.

Forced ..or just had no choice , be honest what chance did we have of stopping players going to teams in higher divisions on more money , peterborough lost 13 million pounds worth of talent in the summer , how much was reinvestedMaybe they were not forced to sell their best players in the summer?
