How is it second season syndrome when we never tried to play like last season?

Also got to remember that Bassong, Turner, Snodgrass, Tettey, Garrido, Bunn were all regular starters. All new signings.

Many of last season's heroes hardly features or were misused this season as well. Surman, Fox, Tierney, Elliott bennett, etc.

Only Holt has really performed worse than last season out of this season's regulars. R.Martin and BJ have actually improved, so has Ryan Bennett recently.

Not really sure about this second season syndrome to be honest...

        or perhaps.. if Ruddy was out for most of last season (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 12, 20:59:23
        
        He didn't get injured though... and it was Hughton's choice to bring in Bunn and Camp (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 12, 21:15:57

        We have a decent manager? (NCFC) - lurd, May 12, 21:04:01

        We've underperformed compared to last year though... (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 12, 21:01:49
        
        we're not relegated because we've overperformed (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 12, 20:57:40
        
        So wages aren't relevant then... (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 12, 20:59:54
        
        not everything is black and white (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 12, 21:02:13

        Sure they can, but saying wages should set in stone the differences between clubs is silly (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 12, 21:06:24
        
        Of course they don't set it in stone and not one person has said it does (NCFC) - mr carra, May 12, 21:37:51
        
        Indeed - Wages are the most relevant factor by far (NCFC) - mr carra, May 12, 20:54:59
        
        A relevant factor between the top clubs and the ones below, agreed. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 12, 20:58:16

        13 goals this season. Good but hardly replaced Demsey's contributions... (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 12, 20:54:07
        
        Berbatov, one of the leagues best strikers on ?70k+ a week (NCFC) - lurd, May 12, 21:06:13
        
        Holt scored 15 goals last season...as for 70K a week, just shows that wages mean nothing (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 12, 21:07:58
        
        Well ok Berba is clearly a better player than any of ours. (NCFC) - lurd, May 12, 21:14:09
