What surprises me most...

..is that people seem surprised.

The time to bring players in was at the start of the season, and we were faves to win the league after narrowly avoiding relegation.

Then people would have come to us on reputation, for the chance at Prem football, and because we were at least level with the other teams.

I'm sure Worthyy has been making lots of calls, but the proposition of going to Norwich now the bubble has burst and we're 2nd from bottom probably wasn't very attractive to any prospective signings.
