The problem is they aren't good enough. The U21's and U18's more or less beat everything that's put in front of them but when it comes to the first team they are a world away, when they go out on loan they hardly come back with glowing reports.
You probably won't like this (art probably will) but this club is beginning to fail from the top down.
When Powell was appointed Dean talked about our Plan A which was to get players to over achieve, well right now and for the majority of last season that hasn't happened with 2 different full time managers.
What happens when the players don't 'over achieve' ???
We resort to being the team you saw last Saturday, devoid of ideas and energy and this leaves us on a knife edge for the future because without over achieving this team is relegation fodder.
Who is to blame?
For me they all have to share responsibility.
The Players, either not good enough or just plain lazy
The Management(s), new and old alike, tactics,selections, transfer targets.
The Board. Poor decision making at times, take Mark Robins actually being in charge at the 1st game as prime example
