The biggest decision management had to make last year was who to bring in to compensate for losing our leading goal scorer, they failed miserably, and it set the season up for failure.When we fall behind in games the games over because we do not have a decent forward on our books except Grealish. It's a monumental failure of management.
We basically spent 100 million on a load of squad fillers by binning off our original squad fillers for zero. We upgraded our goalkeeper but actually went backwards in RCB and main Striker.

We dont seem to be a team that can respond when under pressure either.I still cant get my head around how we've ended up 12 months on from the Championship having a team thats actually worse than the one we went up with. Because most of the players last season were either on loan or leaving.

8 points will keep us up. We have to beat Palace and West Ham and scramble 2 points from Man United, Everton and Arsenal. 8 points and we're OK. 7 and we're only ol if there's a big goal difference swing.
Two points from the last 27 would suggest that 7 or 8 from the last 15 is something of a forlorn hope. I don't think we've managed 8 points from 5 games at any point this season, and our utter toothlessness in front of a goal would suggest we're not about to start now.
Suggests to me its the time to start. I'm not convinced, ever, by an argument that says I cannot achieve something today, because I couldn't do it yesterday.
