We seem to have gone from people thinking everything had changed defensively to them thinking we're no better than usual.

It always a good idea to wait to see how things pan out in a season before jumping to conclusions on whether things have changed.

I personally don't see how losing 2 1st teamers and bringing in 3 (only 2 of which are really proven) can suddenly make us a lot better, especially when one of the players we lost was one of the best forwards around.

We didn't invest enough in the summer and in the end it'll cost us just like it always does.
