Wholly agree, although I think after a promising start Earl has gone backwards.

Pines is the only one up to the job but hes out now.

We need a complete defensive revamp and after the loss of the out of contract players this summer, I dont envy the rebuilding job that someone has to take on. But its all self inflicted.
