Got to trust them to do so. It is painfully obvious that we need to create and take more chances, be better at set pieces and learn to close out games far more effectively.

He's had half a season & it's not yet his team.

Is it not KMc that is coaching this style of play though?! Seems only capable of scoring 1 type of goal... load the right hand side, hit the byline, pull it back for a tap in... we need to score different types of goals.. what's wrong with having a crack from 25 yards?!

He can hardly go out there & do it himself can he - needs to get his own (better) players in. Tho I'd hoped for better from Celina.

I’m unsure about him although he started well but we do fail to have any killer instinct in front of goal he picks the side and said the strikers he had were good enough but they haven’t been.

Better players? We’re still pushing this despite the players we gave on our books already?

Which is exactly what we said this time last year.
Good conversation earlier on 5 live about Utd. Not looking like they had been properly coached in 10 years and not being able to improve players. McKenna has been a part of that setup. We currently have a defensive 6 or 7 players and expect the front 4 to create something special every week which is the same as utd have been for the past few years. It amazes me that doesn't concern people, I'm not writing him off but I'm also not blindly following thinking we're guaranteed to be a force next season.

We need a team and not a group of talented but disparate individuals.

As for Celina, people seem to forget he has only just returned this season from serious illness. He has performed around the standard I would have expected.

That is true. The concern is we haven’t looked like a team that often.

I've felt all season that there's something lacking. We just don't have enough players who can score or create goals, and if you don't have that natural instinct, I think it's difficult to coach it. Even in the early Cook days, when Bonne was scoring for fun, we didn't create that much. I'm sure McKenna realises this, and will want to acquire more incisive players.

Not many people were calling Cook clueless then - they were criticising the squad. Much like now. They were saying an overhaul will see us perform much better and he was the man to do it. Much like now. Those who dared to raise concerns were shouted down. Much like now.

Yes exactly that, we were expecting him to run away with the league with new players and we overlooked the worrying signs. There are plenty of worrying signs for me with the new manager too.

He is certainly being found out in the past run of games. The coaching staff needs strengthening in the summer I think

What is the most worrying sign with the new manager?

Is he throwing his players and squad under the bus? Is he talking about changing the whole squad?

I think you're overlooking the fact that we have a new & completely different set-up now, who inherited the end result of 13 years of stagnation at best & slow rot from within at worst.

i think the squad's being found out more than the manager. would only expect 5 of today's starters to be in our first 11 next season

We had a new and different set up to the Lambert era for the start of this season too.

I wasn’t expecting Cooks team to run away with anything. Cooks team was dysfunctional, with too many problems to sort at one time. KM’s team & tactics seem to need tinkering rather than wholesale change. I don’t see dysfunction now. We aren’t a million miles way, whereas I didn’t know where we were with cook.

I would have thought that being called "a budgie" by some is tantamount to being shouted down if anyone disagrees with the perceived consensus. If that makes sense.
