Hit me point by point with this rambling post everybody. The following are genuine concerns or opinions of mine.
1. It can be argued that we did not spend wisely but the board DID back NL by retaining all our big hitters and investing 17 million in the squad = Agreed ?
2 .Are Biton, Eddy and El Hamed still struggling for fitness ( post Covid ) ? Are Ajeti and Griff still not up to speed ? on top of Jamesy, Julienne, Johnstone and Ajer ?. Then the worst ( for me ) are we missing the discarded mental strength of Lustig, Hayes and Gordon ? or is it simply our ( Brendans ) regime of fitness and discipline that's been allowed to slide ?
3. Its unbelievable that a side depleted by the virus and a four week suspension of their season so far completely ran us off the park - Is the answer in 2 or 4 or 5 of this post ?
4. I think we all feel that the whole squad is underperforming ( Laxalt excepted ) Is it the psychological burden of the ten that's dragging the whole club backwards ? ( if that's the answer the season is already lost )
5. I love NFL but is he too easily outfoxed tactically - He goes 3-5-2 and Sparta adjust their formation within 5 minutes to negate it. In the main NFL waits till 70 minutes then has a shot at something else ? Too predictable ?
6. But here is my greatest concern fellow Celts. The boards commendable financial commitment to the ten in conjunction with the massive corona driven decline in revenue plus the disastrous loss of meaningful european revenue and the rapidly declining ( corona driven ) value of players could drag us back to the same level of financial impotence as the noisy neighbours and far too close to the pre Fergus days.
7. Too pessimistic ? too Negative ? or far too possible ?
