Key Player
The harm of losing 3 points is real. We are a club in a highly competitive league not a laboratory for experiment. We won't get promotion through experimentation. Promotion can only be achieved by having a single system, have every player super schooled in it to the point where it becomes autonomic, and executing it in every game. And, having players athletic enough to play the system. How many of our players could command a position in last night's Leeds' team. How many could play that system, at that tempo, for 90 minutes ..... Roberts, James, Grimes, perhaps Naughton. The others are too physically fragile or don't have that kind of engine. And, even with all that ... as was the case with Rogers you need some good luck on your side.
We started this season in July with a squad that could have won this league going away We pissed that away ... players wanting away is one thing, club not willing to invest in a quick return is another. We retained players (Bony) that didn't really have a prayer of becoming a regular contributor or a part time contributor for that matter. We tossed three senior players out the door in January, almost gave away a future "star" in James, and added no quality in return. We have squandered this season by tossing points away needlessly with experimentation instead of being true to ourselves and grinding out a result. Where will we be in July. Better yet, where will be allowed by owners to be in July. What players can we retain in July/August. Anybody want to bet on who we will add ... more Asoro / McKay types.
