we dont look fit, sharp or organised

mistakes all over the place (both games), not from tiredness but lack of focus and concentration - like the players are half asleep


"It will be fine for season start"
becomes
"It will be fine when the window closes"
becomes
"It will be fine after the international break"

oh its mid September... it will be fine soon forget the first half dozen games

We absolutely need new players
But I thought the team shape (lack of it) and lack of coherent attacking plan was telling

The positives for me are - we ended the season really well, so they cant have all gone to shit over night, and maybe its an intensity thing
