The players that we bought, we already had on loan, so there was little difference to the side that struggled at times in the Championship. Therefore, you wouldn't expect a side to 'pull up any trees' in the Premiership. As I said, I didn't expect us to be as poor as we have but I did expect a struggle.
The thing that saddens me is that the first half of last season we were a great team, and topped the championship for more weeks than Leeds. I honestly thought we would get back that mojo but because of the step up the board should have added to the squad and not just finalised existing loans. We have basically imploded. I cant blame Bilic at all because he got us playing the way most of us fans want. The owners killed this club with a fatal blow even before the season started by not giving Bilic a pot full of money.
