Where/Why did it all go wrong?
As much as I liked your article although some of it was highly speculative along the lines of 'they don't make em like they use to' yet entertaining comes down to one moment and one player.
Martin 'the King' Laursen:
Not only is he our Captain, our Best Player, the Heart and Soul of the Team, Our Best Defensive Player(he wins everything in the air, everything) but he is also behind Big John and Gabby our most reliable Second Scoring Threat from Set Pieces, how many games has he won, tied or nearly won or tied in the dying moments of matches.
A sensational player and leader, irreplaceable.
I love MON, he's the best manager we've had in years and up until now his constant Positive outlook has been refreshing after bleak DOL but when is he going to stand up and acknowledge that while yes,yes,yes we are 'terrific,beautiful,wonderful,magnificent' going forward we have been absolutely dreadful at the back for a couple of months now especially last night against West Ham who played basically a reserve/youth team don't forget and still managed a point.
This turn in defensive proficiency is of course linked directly to the loss of Laursen and unless Cuellar gets a hell of a lot better next season or Davies can produce his best form much,much more consistently then we are in a lot of trouble next season if Laursen's career is over/on hold.
