32k since 2007 v 19k since 2012. Very similar average. Both of us are forum bores, the only difference is, I know it. Now trot off, do some PA work and earn your water bottle.
I don't know how to feel about it, it's a strange feeling going going into a game at this level with very little chance of winning (discounting games like Swansea last season where we had lots of injuries), but at the same time, we were so off it, perhaps we could have offered a bit more resistance than what we showed, although we could have played out of our skins and still lost so I'm not going to wet my sheets over it
Think we'll be doing very well to come 11th, but you're right that every club will have injuries. Let me be clear that I'm not defending the ownership, I'd rather have shifted Ngakia than Ferreira and Livermore as our new star DM is disappointing, but the clubs we'll be competing with will probably have similar stories, and honestly, I think in the midfield and in the forward areas we could lose players and not get massively worse, sometimes maybe even get better
