This is one of those rare occasions when there is more or less a consensus.
I go back to when Norman Bullock was manager and I've seen many good, mediocre and bad City sides. My mind goes back to the McLintock season - which was dire. But there were certain reasons including that we had come to the end of an era of key players. Then there was a dramatic escape in the 90's with the Tony James goal - but even then people were quite sympathetic because the effort was there.
This situation is the worst. As people are saying, these are not individually the worst set of players. In fact they should be more than adequate to compete in the top half of the division. But they don't care and they are managed by someone who can't get to grips with the job.
