Quite. The reaction on here is a tad melodramatic. Who really thought we’d be a top six side at the start of the season? Throw in CamBran’s dodgy eye, COVID impacted games that squeezed our season and some very unexpected poor form from once reliable campaigners in the first quarter and you have a season that has been far from bad but has fallen a tad short in what we could have been capable of. Sides serious about promotion should look as such - we haven’t had that swagger nor the consistency to really show that we deserve a playoff place.
There’s plenty to work on still. KR needs to deal with those first quarter starts as we cannot be wasting them like we have for the three previous seasons, recruitment has not been a total disaster but needs to be sharpened - no experiments like Clare and play players where they should be, keep the model going and look to sell an asset - it won’t be popular on here but it’ll keep the coffers full, have a few more ideas too as we can be a bit one note at times.
The season isn’t over yet. There may be a sting in the tail. One slip up though and it will be curtains.
