(In)Stability

Hard to pass judgement until we've seen who the next coach will be and who we'll sign this summer. It does seem like a make or break kind of preseason, at least in terms of fan sentiment. But I do think we have a footballing identity and stability on the pitch. It's just not what some fans want.

I do think we're at a crossroads in terms of our strategy. We've moved on a lot of star players. The system works - sort of. But we're running out of momentum, both on the pitch and in the stands.

When I think back to the NL days, we had exciting players like Roberts, Langstaff, and Rodrigues. Even Wootton. Really top players for that level. Some of our recent signings haven't hit that level. We managed to sort the defence, but we now need to go out and sign some genuine stars to get us firing on all cylinders.

We also need a quality head coach, but that goes without saying. I think we'll learn a lot about where our owners are at and what our future looks like this summer.

The proof in the pudding will be which players we sign, and who the Head Coach will be. Those signings will tell you where we are going, or not going..
