As for players getting big headed, well just look at Stephen Hunt.

How is he big headed?

One half decent season in the Premiership and already he's demanding more money.

Demanding?
Stephen Hunt should ask for more money, he will only get it elsewhere otherwise and for a player that is only likely to improve further why not?

Since the start of the Prem only four teams have been relegated in their second season. Not that much of a syndrome really just highlighted by wigans plight last season.

Its something like 12 or 13 by their second, third or fourth - compacency does strike. Let's not forget that. Most teams do worse in their second season by about 5 points. Only a handful have improved in their second season.

My opinion - we'll do worse in terms of points. A few, a handful. Games that we should do better in. So we'll probably do worse in terms of position.

Loads of factors - better knowledge of what we do, what we're about, some players less motivated having 'made it', replacements not quite as good as those players who have left, players a year older and the wrong side of the peak.

But its not like we'll do tremendously badly.

And some players, Lita especially, will improve again.
