We are sliding down the table

Thank goodness we have some points in the bag because my premonition of this being a tough season looks like it is going to come true. Our worst start to a game for many years as we go 3-0 down away to Preston after only 23 minutes. Canos pulls one back and we go in at half-time 3-1 down. In the second half Watkins makes it 3-2 then they get their fourth and Maupay gets our third 5 minutes from the end but we lose 4-3. This is what happens when you continue to sell your best players in the summer and do not replace them with equivalent talent and then let the Manager go.
