I think the biggest problem this season management wise, are the quality of the imports that were hired and that one of the retained imports was a dead man walking from the beginning.
The ball situation should have been handled by Dome and Chief in the longest off season in football. They had the time and it may have been the best thing for Ball if he really wanted to keep playing.
The keeper situation was a joke. We let Duncan go and he looked more than useful for half a season with a rival club. Then when the import keeper showed his true colours the young understudy has stood up. These were players we had a dam hard look at last season but obviously Chief didn’t think they were up to standard. He needs to own that. Then after two flipin games they extend the import keeper when they realised at that time how stupid it was having a dead duck wasting an import spot. That defies belief and after 15 games I don’t think AFc have extended their 3 off contract imports.
A lot rested on Chiefy getting it right with the Japanese imports. Unfortunately it looks after a good sample size he got that badly wrong.
If the Nix had AFC’s four midfielder and attacking imports plus Wooten it is a different season.
And those four are not likely to have cost mega bucks. No stars, no marquee’s but just good quality and no doubt well researched signings
