depends how you look at it

the promotion team were never going to achieve in the premiership, they were slow, aging and relied on confidence/teamwork rather than skill. The team we are assembling now is, in my opinion, one designed to compete in the Premiership. With the addition of a solid, pacy right hand side we have a fairly young team with lots of pace and skillful players - they are just completely unbalanced and shot of any confidence right now.

Furthermore, the club is not where it was 3 years ago - average attendences are several thouand higher, we have spent ?3m twice in the last year and expectations are immeasurably higher.
