As for the keepers Eriksson really was no better, he's awful too, see Celtic home, St Mirren home and St Mirren away, dreadful

All of this is reality
Your a good arab, almost always optimistic, and back up your points.

I mean this in the nicest possible way but you are so overly hyper-focused on numbers or plucking out individual things all the time that I think you become detached from reality. Numbers are there to be manipulated and you always find a way to make them work to suit your narrative. TBH i am surprised you've not pulled out the XG stats vs a team, not bottom in some other league in a different country.

If you had for one minute stopped looking at numbers and simply assessed the team based on what we all could see on the pitch, in the squad, the change in atmosphere in the stands, and what was ultimately not happening in the board room it was very obvious to almost everyone that we were either going to go down or would be very close to it, and this was obvious from the beginning of the season.

This isn't a we told you so moment, but more a try giving the random manipulated numbers a break suggestion as the reality is they have all meant nothing
