You mention players have been brought into the first team this season.
But that only happened in the last couple of months.
What about the rest of the season when they were all still with the U21s?
Other clubs have their U21 players moved to the first team but their U21 coach gets results.

now, before anyone goes off regarding "oh bellamy won most of his games" the only players currently still playing for the first team from his time is Ruben, Bagan is out on loan as he's not good enough, plenty on here say Isaak Davies isn't good enough.
Under Purse, we've seen Ashford, Joel, Conte, make the step up. we've even lost 3 academy players to Man-City and United.
he just seems an easy target for some.
