We might do that transition as a new Premiership Club, but if we're still in the Championship it'd be the start of a long period of mediocrity. The team are not playing well at the moment yet the system is protecting them from repeated hammerings, but as soon as we start playing the same as everyone else at this level there will be much bigger problems
I completely agree with you, the system we play is stopping us from taking a hiding, it's designed not only to stop us playing but the opposition as well. It's short term though, it's an avoidence and isn't sustainable or productive in terms of development. There isn't a club out there that plays like us that has prospered long term, certainly not in the last twenty years or so.
