Message: [QUOTE="Allo, post: 3062168, member: 8190"] The squad wasn’t (and isn’t) shit. But anyone who’s looking at our matches with even the slightest attention could point out our deficiencies and problems coming into another season, regardless of the coach. Now don’t get me wrong, the coach, or should I say coaching style, has been an issue for years, along with the lack of options in certain positions, with some other players phoning it in a bit and the apparent squad issues with guys like McGuire/a bit of a split in the squad imo but overall the team wasn’t shit. But it was indicative of Wayne’s second stint here since 2016: good enough to be mostly better than 8-10 teams, but not good enough to legitimately challenge because of those issues. So coming into this season, I have no idea why anyone thought we’d be a top 4 certainty. Couple what I said above with a having pretty raw coach, needing to alter the squad/attitudes/everything, however small, to his way of coaching along with some pretty bad form regressions, injuries that came after moving on players and relying on subpar replacements and it was never going to be easy. TL;DR the squad wasn’t shit, but also wasn’t going to do anything better than it had for the previous 3 seasons [/QUOTE]
