That pre season set the tone for everything. When you look back, it was only the novelty and adrenaline of being back in the Premier League that seen them amass that many.
The weird idea of playing players no matter who they are in any position, just to gain minutes and getting beat by below average French and Italian teams was horrendous for morale.
Id go as far as to say if Spurs put 4 past us first half like they should have in the first game, we'd be sat on less than Derby's record now. We gained a bit of belief that was then absolutely extinguished second half against Newcastle. Then Wolves at home.
