Quote ="Binosh"Nowhere near good enough today, lacklustre, slow , pedestrian, all very apt words. We have the worst edge defence I have ever seen and if any clubs watch the video of the last 2 games we are easy pickings, consistently can’t defend simple shapes and opposition attack constantly has an overlap.
There isn’t another team in the league that would persist with Keenan Brand or Lewis Tierney, I’m not one for calling for a coach but the majority of what I see everyone can see and if he doesn’t fix it the blame lays squarely on him.
Our recruitment in the backs has been so pathetic it’s scary.'"
You are right on the money Binosh.
It is already time for us all to take off our rose tinted glasses. As much as it pains me to say it, this squad doesn’t have a hope in hell of staying in SL. If I am wrong then no-one will be more pleased than me to hold my hand up.
We have a very long hard season ahead. It is difficult to imagine who we are capable of beating.
We have in all honesty made some very poor signings - I don’t even think we would have broken any pots in the Championship based on what we have seen so far. To make matters worse, squads so short on quality tend to be much more injury prone, which simply exacerbates the problem.
I would however have some sympathy for John Duffy - he can only play the hand he has been dealt. Having said that I do assume he has had some say in the recruitment.
