I was happy when we brought Tata back, only because it was going to bring the fans back into the stadium.
However, I was afraid that the result on the field wouldn’t change.
Unfortunately – that’s exactly what is happening.
I think it’s time for a total overhaul.
Let Tata move on and fire him.
We need someone who will be brave enough to try something new.

Change the style of play and go for long balls, faster transition, high pressure with your trio up top playing defense as soon as the opponent gets possession.
The practice should change to more strength and conditioning and a lot more shots from outside the box!
Please post the results this time. No results were posted for the last two matches.
Definitely will. Last week was a busy week for the whole team for various reasons!
