Think your last sentence highlights the crux of the problem for Stanley.
The history of football abounds with examples of 'second season' syndrome.
Take Huddersfield as an example. Promoted to the big time, they survived last season on adrenaline.
This season, largely with the same squad, they can barely scrape a draw.
We're trying to compete against better teams with league 2 standard players, albeit good ones.
We started well, but I think we've already been rumbled by those more established league 1 sides, not to mention those who were previously Championship level.
I'm sure we'll all be happy if we manage to survive our first season in league 1, but I fear for our long term future unless we can add some better quality players to our squad.
