Group chat asked the same question. Seriously the scars are very deep.
Monty set such a high bar MJ won't get long to put this right
Shit start and the knives will come out.
Hopefully he isn't a dud

Oops.
He did but let’s remember who put this team together too. Some of the players copping the most flak are Monty’s recruits.

Yeah.
Looks at Wilson

Wilson actually had a few really good moments. It's consistency that's the problem at the moment, sticking passes and whatnot. Get that consistency in and I see why we signed him. I'm prepared to be patient but completely agree it should be Theo starting - who has earned his chance - and Wilson off the bench to take some pressure off and build that consistency.
But that inconsistency is true of the majority of our player to some degree at the moment including from Tulio, Torres et al. It's a matter of getting to know each other as a team, knowing where players will be, what runs they like to make, what passes they are likely to try.
I'd love to say it's only one game and that with 2 injuries, a reshuffle and a red card that there's not enough game time to call inconsistency in passes etc. but it was the same pattern in the AFC Cup games. Still think it's short term only.
We played positively. Every time the option was play back sideways, out or in, it was nearly always forwards and usually a confident ball in. There is talent and speed in the players and when the flow kicks in we'll be slick. This will be a scoring team.

After Brian went off we had 4 of last years Grand Final starting 11 on the field. Danny (a good game), Max and Nizz (both played well - especially Nizz) and Marco.
We had a young completely new backline (average age less than 21) made up of 3 left-side players and Doka and it showed. Faz at 20 until his cards had stepped up and was leading the backline. at the other end Tulio was basically playing with strangers.
The team needs time. Jacko needs time. There were many mistakes made - but there is also plenty to like in the abilities this squad has, if not the performance that was shown last night in the face of a couple of early injuries.

I had a similar thought today. All the rough diamonds that the Monty /Serg duo were so good at unearthing, recruiting and polishing to finesse, many of whom looked garbage in the beginning. We started the exact same way last year and it took time. We were shitting ourselves. (Some more composed than others ?) Just hoping Jacko sees what they were seeing and has that same ability to transform, otherwise a team of eclectic, neglected and potentially broken characters brought in, has the potential for a very scary season.
No panic yet!!! Time will tell..
In the presser I liked how MJ said he wanted to teach Torres more than just cutting back in. That’s a good sign and that he has a plan to improve all the players in the squad. Making the right noises but we have been there before but I’m definitely giving him plenty of time before judging.

Same every year for most clubs. Montys skill was that he is a ruthless bastard. Hopefully MJ is the same
