Is it time to start looking for reasons rather than excuses for our catastrophic season ?
I'm consistently reading posts complaining about Mibs, MSM, Scottish police, The Scottish Government. ! REALLY ? We've finished an embarrassing country mile behind what for me is a very average sevco team; we really only needed to be better than one team, especially this season, and we failed.
The reasons for our failure ( and there are many reasons ) can only be addressed if we acknowledge them.
The manager and CEO will be different next season, so we live in hope that we get replacements of a more than decent calibre. Time will tell.
Our scouting department, again in my opinion, has been a complete failure. This more than anything has contributed to our demise. Even a manager with limited ability can get results if his players are of a good standard.
Coaching ? We always ask questions about the quality of coaching, we ask if better coaching could've got more from the present squad ? I think that's a reasonable question given the evidence of our eyes. Is it also fair to ask if any coach can produce silk from a sows' ear ?
I think we can get back to where we should be only if we're honest with ourselves and stop looking to blame outside influences. Excuses never sorted anything. Acknowledge the real cause (s) of our collapse and we're going in the right direction. Look to blame others and we go nowhere.
