Crazy to expect a team that's been together for less than a month, with multiple injuries, to have the same levels of understanding and awareness. Give it time. What, like about 2 years? Which league would we be in by then? Edited August 14, 2018 by ChaddySmoker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGR have a group of below average players for L2, playing together as a team in a system they understand, and are hence overacheiving. We have (in theory!) a collection of players that should (!) be up the top end of L2, without any cohesion or togetherness yet, hence we're likely to underacheive for a while. It shouldn't take anywhere near 2 years to get up the curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You believe (see i...e) that we have a collection of players that should be up the top end of L2!!!!! Where are they? Is your definition of obtuse where someone disagrees with you-My point was that we are signing shite players.

philsalt Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Bailey Whalley, youth striker released at the end of last season has turned up in Sweden’s fourth division for Ytterhogdals FC and scored on his debut.
