One thing I'd like to question though is the apparent assumption (still) that there was/is a 'clique' amongst the senior players, and the coaches were too pally with them, making things too easy.
Seems to be a commonly held thought but I've no idea where this comes from or if there's ever been any evidence of this.....

Drewks.... something was going on........didn't a group of players go over Mel's head to JP to complain about his tactics and systems; forcing Mel to abandon his intentions.
Where did Downing stand in all that; supportive to Mel or otherwise?

More recently many of you have been remarking on the fact that certain senior players were getting picked game after game even though they clearly weren't performing.

I think Pulis will be a new broom.... and we all know what that does don't we!!
The January transfer period is going to be very interesting.
