regardless of who they announce today as the new coach - we still don't have the players with the skill set to play posession football. Attacking maybe, controlled I doubt, the new coach is going to have a  tough ride getting the current players to change from journey men to touch based footballers


I disagree with that. We need a few additions, no doubt, but guys like Hernandez, Sanchez, Ifill, Brockie and Stein should be able to pass the ball. I'm actually feeling really good about our squad under the right system and coach.


It will be interesting to see our transformation from a team who _always_ goes to their wide players and crosses in to one that plays super narrow (if that is what Merrick does again)
