Quite a few things actually  |  |

| Yeah, largely our defending.... on 17:29 - Apr 26 with 838 views | Bloots |
....coupled with our inability to string 5 passes together going forward.
Oh, and our discipline.
We won't be stinking it up much longer. |  |

the thing that gets me is 25% of the Premier League as it stands have never won a single trophy in their entire history, 700 years between them.
Brighton, Palace, Brentford, Fulham and Bournemouth.
Yet they are now considered Premier league royalty, perennial participants, yet if in 10 years time any of those clubs fell on hard times and ended up in League one or two, nobody would bat an eyelid. |  |

There have always been more top flight title winners in the EFL than the PL, so it’s not surprising that a large number of PL sides have never won anything. I guess the pinnacle for a lot of clubs these days is not being relegated from the PL. |  | | |

Our defending has been a problem for 3 years, all part of McKenna's 'high risk, high reward' strategy.
It's made for some very exciting football in the previous two seasons. It just didn't translate well enough in the Premier League with the standard of players at our disposal. |  |

Cracks showed last year and opened up this year but was not an issue in League 1, we had the best defence in 22-23, and even with it being leakier last year the 7th best defence when we went up. | | | |
