I think we have seen different versions of that since Stendel.
But under Ismael we saw it in its purest form.

And in its purest form we finished higher than we have done for years.

As we all know the Ismael team was like a machine that ploughed over other more expensive teams.
It wasn’t pretty at times but it was highly effective.

We look nothing like that now.
We are still playing tippy tappy - although that type of play is reducing markedly.
But we are still relatively disorganised.
Orients goal was testament to that.
Ok Williams slipped up - but where was the defensive cover FGS ???

If we do go up - and continue trying to play tippy tappy against more expensive players that are experienced and better at tippy tappy - then my fear is that we would be in for a very rough season.
With Collins maybe losing his job mid season causing upheaval at the club.
So let's say Collins loses his job mid season, next season. Is that any different to previous coaches under this current regime??

The upheaval as you mention comes from the Suits and Lady Cryne (you cannot wear that attire for work young lady ) not generally speaking the hard working coaching team, players and club employees.

Fact is on the playing side we are far weaker squad wise than we were during the last two occasions when we were trying to get out of league 3.
