The defeats included Arsenal and Liverpool away and Man U and Man City at home.
That period also included our first win of the season.
And the final game in that period was just after the close ot the transfer window and sparked a run of six wins in seven games.
Also you do realise that the big money spend in that transfer window was on Tripps, Wood, Bruno, Targett and Burn. Wood and Taggert had minimal effect. Bruno was only played lightly at the start. Which leaves the big money effect of Tripps and Burn at fees of £12M and £13m respectively.
So, yes memory comes into play but it would seem facts back it up.
