Is our current side being competitive in premier league?

Thats true and my whole point but someone has to be resonsible for this? We knew we were promoted in May, why did it take so long nearly 8 months to realise that our squad is inadequate?

 

I see it a bit different.

 

You cannot say it took nearly 8 months to realise the squad is inadequate provided we move quickly to address the inadequacies now, which would suggest a degree of preparation has been undertaken during the closed window and when we were performing so badly. However, we are now 8 days into the window with not a sniff of a completion, so I'll conceed the signs are not that good; it does seem not enough preparation was done, which could indicate incompetence/tardiness/control-freakery or indeed a lack of awareness.

 

For me, the biggest issue was that the management should have been thinking about this season from March time, considering about how long we occupied the top of the table, and considering just how bad we were against Blackpool away and Reading at home. For me, this means our transfer activity over the summer was incompetent.

Well they must of been happy with the bulk of the squad or obviously they would of replaced them, unless there was an agenda....................

Well, definitely seems that Nicky, Nigey and Lessie werent paying sufficient attention during that Reading game, considering the amount of attention defensive reinforcement got during the summer
