The issue being is we didn't improve upon those players when we came back up and have found ourselves relegation candidates until recently.

That being said, you're only 3 points off, there's still 5 games to go.
Indeed. We used to have a conveyor belt of huge talent but we've got stuck in a rut of selling big and buying cheap foreign replacements. Leaving owners pocketing profits.

If we play like that without the defensive capitulation we could snatch a couple of wins which may be enough we will see......
