I'm currently managing Wigan and I have recently been relegated to the Championship after taking over halfway through the Premier League. I managed to reach the final of the League Cup, drawing 2 - 2 with Tottenham but going out 6 - 5 on penalites, Got to the Semi-final of the FA Cup but lost 3 - 2 on agg. to Aston Villa and it was down to the last game of the season to stay up; Win, stay up, draw, stay up, lose, could possibly stay up, depending on whether Fulham beat Birmingham, they did, a 90+1 min goal (which popped up on the latest score widget). So in to the Championship, 3 out of 3 wins, 2nd in the table and flying with Boselli scoring 5 but now on to the incositency; I have lost my last 10 games by massive goal margins, using the same team that got to the final of the league cup and the semi of the FA Cup, also Beating Chelsea twice and thrashing the teams I beat in the first 3 games by 4+ goals. Their morale was Superb, all above 90% fitness but I just can't seem to win at all!
My line-up is;
McCarthur - Supporting playmaker
Nekhaychik - Attacking Midfielder
Kightly - Supporting winger
Moses - Attacking Winger
Boselli - Poacher
Di Santo - Target man
Back 4 are just set to defend, except Traoré who is an attacking Wing Back.
Why, all of a sudden have I gone through this slump? I'm not losing 1-0 or 2-0, it's thrashings against bottom of the league clubs by 4+ goals. Nothing has changed, only tweaked a few players or swapped one position a game but nothing is helping at all. Any suggestions?

No one got anything? Or am I just going through a bad patch which will hopefully turn itself around before I get the sack?
