I don't know why anyone had any positive expectations before this weird game today.
As I just posted on the other thread, I'm advocating the exact opposite of being 'excessively positive'. 75% we fail, they're the inescapable odds. But knowing that, you give it your best shot and don't mope, there's no point in that.
It's Win-Win, we go up or we most likely get a fresh start with a new Head Coach
You can't go up with only 6 players worthy of the level, ravaged by injuries and with a flawed head coach.
ALL the NL promotion winning team are gone (bar Jodi, who was late to the party anyway, and a few peripherals), it was always going to take the club some time to build a completely new team for the next level.
The tone on here is way too resigned and defeatist IMO.
Or deluded and entitled, depending on your perspective.
