Poyet seems to have changed to very much talking down the team and our chances. The latest quote in the Argus today about the possibility of beating West Ham is " if we beat West Ham, its a bonus. Lets not get unrealistic again ".
I am dissapointed at this. It smacks of the Micky Adams " we were playing Leeds " comments a couple of year back when Leeds had already lost 10 games that season, as a reason why we lost.
I am also surprised as this is not the Poyet we recognise. A couple of weeks back the comments went from " I want to keep a gap between us and the play offs going " , when we were 4 points clear, to " it is a 5 year plan to go up ".
It is very clear there is no intention of going up this season or even getting a play off place and as such there is no point in strengthening the side, we may as well just stick with what we have got as this squad is not be good enough to go up this season. Whats the point in strengthening the squad ?.
Mid table is fine and I am sure Poyet is happy we have 19 points already as we could be looking at being in a worrying position without the good start we had.
It seems the expectations are very low now, certainly this season with the odd win to keep the punters happy and the goal is to stay up.
Is everyone happy with this ?.
