Just what did people expect before the season started?
We're around about where I thought we'd be, a bottom 4 club, which we have been for the past few seasons. If all the stars aligned I could've seen us make a push for the top 6, but that all went out the window during that 7 game losing run.
The fact that the players have "given up" once we have nothing to play for should come as no surprise to anyone, it's in this groups DNA. See Radford, Last, Hodgson.
Everyone wanted a clear out, and with 10 plus players going out that is what's happening. No all of those played, but they take up cap space that can be used in better areas and a chunk of them leaving are the ones you could blame for setting and upholding the poor "culture" that has plagued the club in recent times.
I don't expect us to reach the play offs next season, it's almost year 0 for me under Smith next season and give us a point to build from. Smith did similar at Rovers, you could argue they went backwards before they went forward under him.
