Alex Neill whinging about what we have spent, but I bet Preston play far better as a team than we do. Barnsley with their limited resources have out played and out battled us 3 games in a row. We did well last season, played above our abilities and went toe to toe with the top teams and won. The defence was outstanding last season, did it need a total rebuild? It seems to me we have just diluted what we had.
I see your point but its not like Preston achieved anything with the better team mentality. You need to have an actual quality base of a squad before being able to achieve anything. I dont think we had that before and I do now. Even if we don't go up this year we'll be well placed again the following year with few incoming required.
How many of last year's team would've got in Leeds/Wba/Fulham teams? Just cash I'd imagine (maybe Samba for Leeds) and Sow from the first half of the season. Doesnt exactly suggest we were on the brink does it?
