The media have made damn sure we haven't shed that tag. Even on Sunday the commentators were banging on about Nuno brining on ANOTHER new signing. Yes, 'cos THREE was so f***ing many. They didn't seem to mention that we hadn't enough senior players to fill the bench in the previous games.That initial crazy recruitment drive saw us a laughing stock & bar a few highlights, I don't think we've really shed that tag.
They're a pathetic bunch of parasites. Feeding off the big clubs, ensuring those same big clubs are made to look good whilst not giving a shit about being accurate when they talk about many of the others. The amount of factually incorrect stuff they spout about Forest, in particular, is amazing.
We come back to how ill prepared we were to go up. Even Luton, yes plucky Luton, had a season or two to prepare. Time to build up a squad and a way of playing that can go beyond your first choice eleven. It's likely that there never will be a worse prepared club gaining promotion. Preparation doesn't get you anywhere if you're not smart about recruitment and have luck in your side. Sheffield United were well prepared but then blew it by selling key players and recruiting insufficient numbers. Luton have been lucky so far, but an injury or two could easily see them fall back towards the bottom. Darren Fletcher is convinced they will suffer at some point.
