When you cook a casserole, you get the ingredients, you chop them up and put them in a pot together, that's where we are. Now we have to wait 45 mins to and hour to get the finished product. This is the next 2-3 seasons.
I guess the problem is we've put the ingredients in and started to heat them up...we're just not getting any of those sweet cooking smells.
The rebuild hasn't 'failed' but what folks are waiting to see is some signs of progress.
We're not seeing that, and yes injuries and the loss of experienced players is a big contributor to that situation.
When we are in the doldrums, as we are now, it's only natural that people start to focus on the 'little' picture (team selections, match tactics, player skills and development) because that "big picture, golden age" is a long way in the future...and there are many rivers to cross.
