They weren't 4 goals better than us in general play but had the quality to punish us when we made mistakes. We could and should have had at least 2 goals and on a good day could have had 4 ourselves. Frustratingly we could be only a couple of players short of having a good team but because of the current policy we are likely to remain a couple of players short because when we fill one gap another gets created by a sale.
That's the frustrating bit. If we could be sure of the team growing together as a group, I'd be highly confident of us being around the top six in the next couple of seasons with a couple of additions. I think we'll get there eventually, but it's going to be a very slow process due to the constraints we're working under. On the upside of things, despite the obvious weaknesses in the team, we're absolutely light years ahead of where we were a year ago.
