We weren't in the same starting position as the other teams in the league. 17 players left permanently and another 6 on loan, plus we brought in 14 permanently and 4 on loan. Massive upheaval (again) at teh club so we needed to spend money. Not sure what those stats are supposed to be telling us. Ultimately, we started from close to zero and have done well to be in the promotion hunt, but in actual fact, when you analyse many of the games, we should have won a hell of a lot more than we haveLads, can we get a little perspective here? Since we drew yesterday I people have been complaining that we aren't good enough for the money we have spent on almost every thread. The thing is, you're only telling half the story. We spent nearly £4M because we sold nearly £20M, which is over £16M worth of 'talent' leaving the club more than the next closest team.
I understand that you're disappointed, we all are. but please stop using the money we have spent as a stick to beat the club with.
