From the Dept of Broken Record: this is pretty much a new team, with Rufer, Cacace, Fenton and Taylor the only ones left over from last season. A new coach, untested at this level as a head coach. We would not expect us to win the league this year with such a change.
Whichever way we look at it, Talay will work with the players he has by now. Apart from Cacace returning, and hopefully nobody picking up an injury or a card, we will see his mettle tested by how he manages this team .
There will be a lot of issues to sort out, and problem areas to fix. But, for all the doom and gloom, I am pleased to see that now we are creating opportunities and scoring goals.
