I was thinking the same after watching us the last few matches.
Don’t create enough chances and giving away far too many penalties. In my opinion, that’s just poor defending. Just stand up and jockey the player not dive in every time.

Last season we finished 14th under harriman, if we finish below that is it seen as going backwards? I'm not so sure as it's been a really competitive season and everybody seems to be able to beat everybody. Also, the football has been better to watch. I'd imagine the plan for next season is to achieve play offs, going to be difficult with some of the other teams budgets, but standards have to be set high. No point in trying to compete otherwise

Last seasons team would be rooted with 10 points right now in this seasons league. We’d be very similar to Rugby town right now, but from the start. Rugby look so poor
