Imho. This is all down to the bowling.

The batting is good enough, and I think it's a lot better than it's showing here, however if the bowling is weak the batting can't compensate and the pressure tells. Seen oit time and time again.

The big questions are: Why is the bowling weak and why are so many bowlers injured fore pretty much the whole season and/or not good enough (yet). All this business of getting load bowlers and at minute recruit are a sympton not the cause.

You can’t blame the bowling on yet another shocking batting performance
 
All the promotional hype about .Come and join our progressive group of attacking bunch of talented players in an exciting and enterprising team looks very hollow and absolutely pathetic
 
190/1 and 240/3 on flat pitch v a limited attack then 7 down for 100 when minus 2 bowlers plenty wrong with the batting it’s just not as bad as the horrible bowling.

But we get a crisps team so it’s all good all 3 of the clowns need to go killing the club.

Just unbelievable Campbells get a 2 year extension that performance in the T20 and this shambles to rubber stamp going down failure rewarded!
 
Being following Durham since 1992 and given what was at stake this ranks as one of the most inept performances with a complete lack of fight, nous or basically anything I have ever seen. Disgusting to fold likr this. Coach needs to come out, answer fior it and tell us whats happening to his team ....... or resign.

I agree with much of that but could you clarify that final sentence?

As for keeping the faith,you have to possess faith to keep it.

The buck stops at the Director of Cricket. He appointed the Head Coach and has recently renewed his contract.
