Good post.Back in the summer, did people seriously expect us to be challenging for promotion? I didn’t. I thought we were all but finished.
If I’d have been offered top six in February back then, I’d have taken your hand off.
That said, I’m now in a position where I’m surprised at the decent squad we have, but disappointed by our performances. We really should be doing better with what we have.
I’m not sure about Ross, but I think he’ll rightly be given another crack next season if he fails this time around.
I just keep hoping that one day all the players will click, Ross will find a better system and we’ll look like a formidable side.
I don’t think we’re ready for promotion, mad as that may sound. We’d be destroyed in the Championship. Something isn’t quite right, but sacking Ross after a few months would be mental. When we have a disappointing result, I just think about where we were last summer and it somehow feels better.
Just one more point. While I disagree with those calling for Ross’s head, the childish ad hominem responses are pathetic. They have every right to question the manager, it doesn’t mean they support SAFC any less than Ross’s advocates. Is it too difficult to discuss the subject, instead of hurling playground insults?
I like Ross and want him to do well but this negative football with 1 striker and no support from midfield is baffling.
We have the players to be doing way better than we are which is the frustrating thing. We have two of the best strikers in the league yet only play 1. If we have to play 3 midfileders we leave our best attacking midfielder on the bench. Its madness.
