It has made me believe I am in an alternate reality when I saw people say the rebuild sofar has been good. I feel as low about it all as I was last summer! As it stands we are clearly weaker.
 

We had him in the 2022-23 promotion season?

😲

I'm glad he didn't play.
I'm not going to lie I didn't really read the first post too much I just wanted to wind everyone up with your post.

Having read it, is this the promotion squad we went up with that everyone said wouldn't have a chance of competing in the PL? The squad that were doomed before a ball had been kicked. The squad that "bottled it" when they were in 2nd place and 7 points clear of Middlesbrough.

Are we now looking back on that squad with fond memories? Us that wanted Wes out, Sander out. We thought the likes of Fleck and Norwood were too past it and had us wincing everytime they were subbed on because we knew more goals were incoming.

Quite a list to replace? Geyore.
 
Quite a list

Fotheringham
Bash
Baldock
Egan
Lowe
Bogle
Norwood
Fleck
McBurnie
Ndaiye
Berge
Sharp
Stevens
Osborne
Jebbison
Macatee
Doyle

Quite a list of 17 that will be hard to replace.
More than half of that list have been injured, injury prone, or not up to it……according to most fans on here….so why are we now panicking because they are no longer here🥴
 
Didn't we finish 11 points clear of third and 16 points clear of Middlesbrough???

Quite a bottle job that.
That’s very true, but that was then, and this is now. Some of that squad have been in serious decline since that Championship season. A few will be missed. We’re also acquiring some exciting replacements. We need a few more, but nowhere near the 17 that have gone.

That's being kind. Name more then 3 who havn't get slagged off on here. We've got some bellends that's for sure.

I agree with you in the main, but I just thought that it was unfair to describe that season's squad as bottlers. No doubt last season was a season too far for many though sadly

Fully agree that they were no bottlers - hence my ‘like’ for your post. That squad withstood enormous pressure in what was a make or break season for us in terms of financial security for the club. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude. Sadly, time and injury has caught up with many of them.

The moaning in this very forum when we kept some of these players last season. This OP is about as relevant as listing the squad from 1971 and complaining that we need to replace TC.

You've nailed it there - many of those players helped save the club from heaven knows what. I do get a bit pissed off when people slag them off - not pointing the finger at you by the way.
 

Chillax, we have 12 players coming in, just going through the standard 17 medicals before they are announced.
