Our squad is **** in terms of depth of quality. It is undeniable that losing the best players will affect things.

Ever played 5s and your good mate doesn't turn up one week? Do you say it's nothing to do with him not being there when you get horsed?

Losing quality decreases your chances of success.
Attitude, yes, but...
What about negative tactics?
What about playing people out of position? What about securing a highly rated RB on loan, then not giving him a game, and playing a numpty in that position?
What about continually playing a bombscare keeper (apparently because of a payment clause)?

Need I go on???
