One win from our last 10. Not sure if I have any confidence in Chief for next season. Disappointing he doesn't seem to be able to turn the team around now with a full squad.
I don't think we'll be signing many players, if any, who'll be better than what we've currently got. So where's the change/improvements going to be coming from?

i think you're right
the big thing for me is that the standard and organisation of the better teams in the league are streets ahead of us. this is the gap we have to make up.
if you only watch phoenix games, you'd be forgiven for thinking we're doing ok right now, but we're not. we're miles off. just look at auckland v sydney right now. 1st v 6th. it's fast and high quality. as well as the squads being strong, it comes from two teams having established tactics where the emphasis has moved beyond tactical thinking to getting a result in the game. cohesion is high for both sides, so they are just going at each other. we're still sorting out tactics.
we obviously have recruitment issues. on top of this we have selection issues and also tactical issues. most concerning is the small organisational things that are not properly catered for, like the long throw in to kosta with only two others in the box. this sort of thing is on repeat. it wreaks of disorganisation and that reflects mainly on the coaching. these things are inhibters that make it hard for what is already a poor roster to perform at peak.
