I've mentioned this in a few threads but thought it deserved it's own.
Putting aside the individual scapegoats (Hennessey, Puncheon etc) at what point is some of the anger on here towards the board and manager redirected at the players collectively?
We've been putting up with awful home form for 3 years now, under four different managers. Also, let's not forget that although he did superbly last season, Allardyce couldn't turn around our form until Sakho came in, before our form collapsed once again when he got injured.
I genuinely think that, other than two or three exceptions we have a squad that is mentally weak. In the two home games this season (in terms of game minutes) they've conceded a 2nd goal pretty much straight after going behind.
You look to the squads of 2010 and 2014 which managed to stay up against the odds, despite having players who (on paper at least) were not as individually gifted. This squad just don't seem to have the same fight.
