We have had a step up in player's, and the management haven't caught up yet?

[RaySmith]

We seem to have lost the team cohesion of last season, with all the new players and injuries, and confidence is ebbing away with our terrible results..

Too many new players imo, reminiscent of the Sanchez era and we know how well that went!

For sure it is a step up in money spent and being spent, but the performances have fallen away in terms of cohesion and resilience.  There has to be much more acceptance of responsibility by every player because they are the only ones getting the benefit of all that extra money that was spent.  The football certainly isn't a beneficiary.
