most of the team we had in our 1st season in the premier league had been with us since league 1(division 2), ie; mc culloch, baines, bullard, teale et al & provided us with our highest ever finish in the league. was it because this team had more desire, spirit, ambition, less of a fear factor. i watch norwich & swansea this season & they remind me of ourselves all those years ago & they mainly consist of lower league players, yet are performing so much better. is it down to having better players than us, a better team spirit, or a better manager – or all 3??
