Robert Green has insisted that it is unfair to compare the current Queens Park Rangers side to the one that also suffered relegation from the Premier League two seasons ago.
The Hoops managed to pick themselves up after finishing bottom of the table in 2013, but they have suffered the same fate this time around, having won just eight games all term.
However, Green believes that the current crop of QPR players have given their all this campaign, which is in stark contrast to the previous group at the club.
"It is a club that lost its identity two years ago," he told The Telegraph. "The squad that got built and then destroyed and then rebuilt – it's been fighting fires from that. This club has been suffering ever since then, whether it be on the pitch or off the pitch.
"A couple of years ago I watched a Titanic sinking and all I could do was watch it sink. I was helplessly watching it fall apart. This [relegation] is one where I feel everyone has gone out and given everything. Everyone has drawn comparisons but it's a very different club, it's a very different side and it's been a very different effort.
"As players, you always ask the question, 'could we have done more?' and that's always the problem with failure. But I would say, coming into this season, it was the season in the Premier League where I thought it was going to be the toughest ask for a group of players that I have ever been involved in."
QPR round off their season with a trip to Leicester City on Sunday afternoon.
