While I was always in favour of considering Ernie as a prospective new coach once Ricki quit, I thought changes would come swiftly. I was feeling truly anxious when better results were not coming our way for a loooong time (last season, anybody?).

So instead of feeling like a wise sage I also feel like I've learned a lesson this season: a complete change in playing style takes a long time with old personnel, and that the new personnel takes a long time to bed in.

For me, it shows that a change in style takes a long time with old personnel, and that new personnel takes time to bed in.

While I was always in favour of considering Ernie, even then I was anxious that results were not coming our way for a loooong time.
