Joking aside, I was actually hoping to see something different in terms of personnel. Like maybe one of the players who couldn’t win over Ralph, has impressed the new manager and we’d see something, well, as I say - different. Mara being the one who springs to mind. Could be a bit of a wildcard, maybe? Nah, I didn’t really think so either but every now and again I like to prove to myself that I can be optimistic.
I hope he can get a tune out of them because we’ve seen these players and this system before and it ain’t been pretty.
