Agree. The funny thing is (and this is why I think Ernie has a potential problem as opposed to a real one) is that had we beaten both CCM and Adelaide as the table suggests, we would be in 4th on 21 points and this forum would be a happy place. The reality is is that we have injuries and suspensions at the moment affecting that. I think a full strength team would have won both of them, which is why I believe our issue is depth. We lose a couple of players and we fall apart, akin to the Riera injury of 2 years ago. This is why Ernie is going to be tested cause now he needs to produce the results with a less than full team until those injuries and suspensions have passed.
I think he will regret the Sarpong signing if he is not already and the 'not a striker' comment is not really a bad joke anymore but more a recurring nightmare. He'll probably also consider his fullback options too and if I were Fenton, I might be inclined to be a wee bit worried going forward about his next contract unless he regains confidence and gets a grip on the FB role. Doyle too and it feels like his discipline both off and on the field seem like a cloud over him. Danaskos seems ok and Gulley needs work but seems more natural than Fenton.
It would not surprise me if the theme this week at training is discipline cause we have no Roly for the next one and Riera and A-Rod are still a card away from suspension...
