This is very similar to the new Cook era with so many new players and building a new team. I fully expect McKenna to get them telling quicker but it will take a few weeks for absolute sure. Hang in there everyone. We might be gunning for the playoffs this year though.
This team will come together though! |  |

Whilst I do tend to agree, it is frustrating that other teams seem to be able to completely refresh their squads and are able to “gel” straight away. Didn’t Derby have 8 new summer signings in their team today? |  | | |

I don’t know, he’s got a lot to think about now tbh. Especially with some of our big money signings from last year that seem to be limiting some of our other key strengths.
A win was really really needed today and contextually I’d actually say this is one of the worst results we’ve had in a long time. |  |

There's a massive difference between us with with the way we play and Derby. Our play is complex whereas Derby just lump it, waste time and spoil everything they can. Some of our new players haven't had any pre-season at all.
But Cajuste... what a joy to watch at times. |  |

I get that.
This international break has come at a good time. So much work to do on the training ground. | | | |

That was the excuse used last season but we got progressively worse. Then the narrative changed again. |  | | |

Might be too complex at times for this level. | |

Agree some of Cajuste's touches were sublime but he is still yet to have any actual impact on a game. Flatters to deceive but i'm sure that will improve, eventually. | | | |

Would you like to elaborate as to why Hunty? |  |

Every team has player turnover.
Most of our starting XI were familiar with each other
Cajuste isn't new, and has played with Matusiwa 40+ times |  |

I'm soooooo fed up with the excuses.

I thought the Matusiwa/Cajuste pairing looked really good in the first half. A lot of promise there.
To be honest, Derby got to us by going over them. | |

There were some really nice little patches in the first half, signs that when we do get it flowing consistently - which we will - we'll be very hard to stop.
Such a turnover of players will take a few more weeks to really 'gel' (as much as that word seems to trigger the hard of thinking.)
I'm getting really sick of the lack of understanding on here. |  |

Too true Mullers.
I would counter that having all of those advantages doesn't equate to success.
Football isn't that straightforward. | |

No, but they should equate to better than we are seeing.
Onwards and upwards. | |

It is ok to play anti football.
With the huge mismatch in resource, you can't always expect teams to go toe to toe. | |

Idgaf about the gelling excuses.
Derby had as many new players as us on the pitch, they almost stole all 3.
Sunderland in the PL has what 6? 7? new players in their starting XI they aren't doing too poorly are they?
Also, I'd rather play ugly and steal the points rather than trying to play total football and lose / draw. You get the idea. | | | |

Yes, and Sunderland have already won twice as many home games as SKMc won all last season. | |

Let's be honest with ourselves, when you take into account the state of the other recently relegated sides and the financial status of the rest of the league, the aim still has to be top two, not merely the playoffs. | | | |

This is exactly how I feel, can we all calm down. We've signed players to improve the team, they've not even played, that'll be the 4 signed this week. Once they're integrated we'll be a different proposition. There are still more than 120 points to play for. |  | | |

Yes but reality doesn't care whether you are fed up or not. That's the problem. [Post edited 30 Aug 22:49]
