We are a team who on average has performed poorly and below par this season. Picking up poor results is fine and to be expected, it is the level of performance which is worrying and continues to be a concern. Consistency is so important and we just don't have it.
It is not purely about results, it is the level of performance since Oldham which is of concern. There is only so often you can grind out results playing poorly, in other occasions you will drop points (see last night for an example.)
Why? When I see teams performing better than us with the amount of money we have spent I feel embarrassed. Our level of performance on average this season has been unacceptable.
With the money and players we have at a minimum I would have expected us to be clear in second place with a few points cushion regardless of games in hand and the poor start. Possibly my expectations are unrealistically high but I think it is justified when you compare us to other teams in this league.
I'm sorry but you simply are not a bigger club than us and won't be for a very long time if at all. We have a larger fan base, can outbid you on players and your season ticket numbers are because you have the novelty of a new ground. Even if we have similar sized grounds I cannot see you consistently achieving better attendance figures than us.
