Without wanting to take sides, the players deserved more of the blame than they got.

Not that anyone was without blame for the relegation, either. One point, about being in awe of the other teams: I think that's nonsense. Press conferences and interviews are basically meaningless. All managers have a spiel they use - Lambert basically said nothing, Neil says essentially the same thing every time and so did Hughton. The exception to that was Adams, maybe because he was really a DJ. I'm fairly sure the players don't analyse what the manager says in interviews and join the dots into a misconception of what he actually thinks.
