I dont overestimate the quality at all, it’s the worst team we’ve had since Ozzie. But the gap isn’t that big between ourselves and those around us and I’m sick of hearing about how s*** the team is as it’s now becoming the de facto excuse when we fail to beat Swansea at home, or Brighton, or Bournemouth...
Yep. I still don't buy that we'd be cast adrift at the bottom without Rafa - I think quite a few managers would have us around 15th/16th right now, we're not the only squad full of Championship players down there.
