Stacksonthemill,
I'll respond to you as responding to Morgan is just a waste of typing.
What people wanted to see was not a win but some signs of improvement, particularly based around the new personnel. We didn't see any sign of improvement. We saw the same as last year, a lot of effort let down by repeated poor execution. That approach has resulted in us winning 20 games over years while losing 44 games.
There has been no change to the approach and I'm not seeing any sign of improvement with the new players.
First game or not, I can't see any logical reason reason why refusing to change will suddenly one day result in success. If you can explain how that works, we'll all be listening.
