Anyone happy with how this year finished and patting themselves on the back need to take a good hard look at themselves. Accepting that result is accepting mediocrity, great the team made the finals. .
I don't think anyone is thrilled with the way the year ended but you cannot judge the whole season on the last result.
We improved a lot. Our young players have looked exceptional at times, Vlastuin, Ellis, Conca, Dusty, and morris. Our mid tier players like Jackson, White, S.Edwards and Rance have become very good footballers (most weeks).
We've won 15 games and the majority of our list and primary players are 23 and below. We've smashed Membership, we are going to make a huge profit which can be put back into the football department. Next year we will also have a bigger membership which will result in more money again to go back into the football department. We are now in a cycle of success which is brilliant, and its come from solid reason decisions each year not by making reactionary decisions based of bad games.
If after a well thought out discussion players and or coaches are thought to not be taking us forward then we move them on. Tigerbob said in the other thread he heard we are not completely happy with our fitness department and are looking to make improvements in that area. That's a far better way to look at it, lets improve where we are weak not just go removing people because we are unhappy with a performance in a particular week. Also don't forget people in football often get better from experience, that goes for Hardwick and his assistants, FJ and his recruiting team, Blair and list analysis team and Dan Richardson who has just stepped into his role as Football Manager.
