Is it really that much of a mess? Just last season we won the Cup and finished with 79 points. This season we've taken a massive step back but the core of last season's squad is still there and there's a lot of talent in there. We clearly need more depth at the back but otherwise there's not loads wrong with our squad. I don't buy that we have 'injury prone players', I just think there's something wrong with the training, I don't know if there's stats out there about the injury records of our players before the come to us or after they leave vs their time with us, it would be interesting to see that.
