surely we are more likely to see young players in the team this year

than if we had stayed up?

And as far as attractive football goes, we still tried to play football the right (Norwich if you like) way last year - on the ground (we started the season without a single big striker in the squad!). We certainly weren't a hoofball team. You can keep the 'attractive' football philosophy (as in my view we have) but unfortunately you can't guarantee that it will always be successful.
