You sum it up well, Dave and the thread title reflects just how I feel. I had high hopes after the recent activity in the transfer market and although some allowance can be made due to their unfamiliarity with each other in midfield none should be offered for their seeming naivety. As if it were needed this was the final confirmation that we aren't getting out of this division this season.
The club needs a period of stability and not wholesale changes every six months. The ability is there.....what happened to the team that battered Brighton in that second-half only a couple of months ago?
