We all got ahead of ourselves with the long unbeaten run that took us to the top of the league. This squad was never good enough to win the league but having been built from literally nothing it was never likely to be.
Maybe we can go up through the playoffs but that seems unlikely and quite frankly if we go up a level this squad needs some serious reinforcement to have a chance of staying up there. Staying in this league is bad. Going up and then coming back down is a disaster. Honestly another year down here building a squad that's really ready to go up might not be the worst thing in the world. Doesn't mean days like today aren't still completely nauseating.
Some did, deluded thinking if people thought we would walk the league
However, its been painfully obvious that the squad needs strengthening, some of the 15 playing with knocks, our rivals have brought players in whilst we haven't
It's not about rose tinted thinking of winning the league it's sensible business decisions around squad depth
