And that expectation was with a team that had played together 15/18 months !
So, with newly recruited team, we are ( This Season) in a place that many would have taken gladly last year at this time.
These lads have stepped up to the level that we are, they have NO experience at this level, They havent the benefit of the Promotion “Buzz” They will take time.
I saw green shoots from Thiam yesterday. I saw some good passing. And some poor stuff too.
Nothing got me off my seat as regards excitement ( Potts hitting bar excepted).
I think we need an old head or two, but we have some decent young lads, who, if they stay together, could mould into a decent team. Now isn’t the time to sack Hecky. Now is the time to get a leader in the middle of the park to “Conduct” the orchestra of young bandsmen, to become potential Orchestra material. We are missing a “Leader” on the field. Conor was a leader, Redders the same.
A striker, and a midfield leader are the only two I’d buy in January. And I’d very pay good money for both.
I’m changing my mind with Thiam, I think he’ll develop well.
