If all other variables are the same for all clubs, there are three possibilities...Is that true though? Eight teams in L1 have played either the same amount of league games as us or fewer - so have the same or more games to play as us. Five other teams have played just one more game than us. And compared to some other teams we do not have that many long term injured among our senior players.
It's pretty much the same for all clubs - limited number of senior pros and a crowded schedule. We haven't really managed to bring through any of our own youngsters this season to feature consistently - I'd have moved a couple of them from the U21s bubble into the First team bubble, presuming they are not total duffers (and if they are, why are they there?).
I guess the only difference is that we have played a fair number of games in the tinpot trophy, but we didn't trouble either the FA Cup or League Cup for long!
The players aren't good enough
The manager isn't good enough
The training isn't good enough
