Surely no one is that surprised we're where we are?

Squad mostly made up of players who weren't good enough two years ago.

Very little investment in the summer (biggest signing was a guy who'd just got relegated himself)

January signings made up of one guy with any EPL experience and some gambles

Manager and coaching team who worked wonders last season with no experience at all at this level.

We could gamble and get someone in who might keep us up. The flip side is, we would lose someone who almost everyone was touting as the best thing since sliced bread only a few months ago.

If he looks out of his depth, it's because he probably (at the moment) is but surely we knew that would be the case?
