The fact of the matter is, we did our preseason assuming that Brough was our main playmaker and that Newton and Tronc were 2 key men in the pack. All 3 have gone, meaning that we have to start from scratch with different players in key positions.
In addition, we already had a high turnover of players at the end of last season and we are pretty much having to gel a new team together. Since the season bagan we have brought in Cooke, Kirmond, Gledhill etc, none of which were involved in the preseason and they therefore have to get used to our systems.
It will take time for JK and the team to figure out the right formula for the rest of the season and to incorporte the new players and their styles of play. I don't think any coach would have done any better when you consider all of the changes we have had.
I think that they will get there in the end, but it may take a few more games yet!
JK has done a sterling job in keeping us in SL. That will never be forgotten. But that is all now in the past.
Last season we blew it when we needed to step up to have a go at the Playoffs and this season we have gone from bad to worse.
JK must go. Enough is enough. He wanted out when the Catalans came knocking and in hindsight that would have been perfect for both clubs.
We need to freshen things up. Things have gone stale. Time for a change, a new man at the helm, new ideas, new coaching and fitness staff and someone who can get the best out of what they have, NL experience and someone who knows the NL and who can pick up some bargains to test themselves in SL.
