Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 4681544, member: 874"] You can't compare 2018-19 to those other seasons you mentioned. Talent was at a completely different level compared to the previous seasons and, previously we were still in an era where JB was able to develop a team over multiple years. We were also in an era where a poor season was typically a blip followed by a bounce back. By 2019 the slide had been more than a blip and the logical expectations had changed, just look at all the bubble watch threads that had become an annual thing by then. The bubble was something we rarely cared about in other eras you referenced. Many on here were questioning JB's ability to adapt prior to 2019. Those people were often shouted down by people that didn't want to see it. As I already said, it's fine if you had those expectations of a huge bounce back. I didn't and was simply surprised at how many did. [/QUOTE]
