Blues on the other hand were able to make changes which actually made them stronger, which (I’m guessing here) is probably the case for many of the teams in the top half. Whatever division we find ourselves in next season, our rebuild is going to take a lot longer than one or two transfer windows.
It's no surprise that Blues ended the game much stronger, as they had far better options off the bench than we did.
The biggest challenge is the lack of attacking options. This is the area that needs addressing most urgently in the close season, whichever division we find ourselves in.
Not least because about 4 of them are out of contract. So we'll need to make changes by necessity.
I see this as a good thing, because it will free up wages and force the teams hand. I wouldn't mind keeping Grant and Jed on reduced deals, but Maja and sadly Dike need to be out of here.
