I think one of the main differences this season is our football has been pretty shit.
Even when we were winning fuck all for the past few years I can think of many times when we murdered Pool/Manure etc and many other teams (but usually didn't win). Remember that game a few years ago when Diaby scored an OG at Manure? We dicked all over them, they virtually didn't have a touch.
This season the football has very very rarely been special.
I always thought, with the way we used to play (and the players we had), a couple more players would have seen us win something. Now I think we need 4-5 players to win something.
