@baggers and GIC.....
I 'm not sure that what you're saying and what I'm saying are necessarily mutually exclusive.
My argument is that we are still to gel as a unit in comparison with other sides due to the turnover of personnel.
Again.... 'No other club has had the changes of personnel ours has had in the last five years'
It's a strategy few clubs have ever attempted.
I suspect it's a model few clubs will ever repeat.
Now part of that understanding that needs to develop is the ability to combine together to apply pressure for longer periods of time.
Passion for club and teammates is another aspect that develops over time.
For a Jack Silvagni that's something he was born with...if you come through another club or two (the passage of a good number of our players) it takes a little longer.
We've had slow starts, but at least there's a belief there that even 6 or 7 goals down they're still not out of the game.
I posted in another thread that the resumption would cause some problems for some clubs. The successful ones were always going to be the ones who could get their 'combination' back together the quickest.
Successful ones like the Port, Cheats and Norf who are 2-0
