Thank you D6 and Anchor for your takes. Hopefully the team won't have to face an 0-4 situation. I believe the tide is turning in spite of last Thursday's output which I didn't consider nearly as alarming given the quality of opponent. A team is going to have down days, it's the overall body of work that counts in December.


Now, one thing I am a bit leery about is Coach Bradley's language when assessing players. He seems too positive in my view which could lead to comfortability in the players. Perhaps he is firmer to them in person, but hearing him laud Joeckel today was questionable to me, considering his spotty play. I get that he may have improved, but as a coach, you should strive for perfection. In that way, even when things go badly, they don't fall apart.


That's the issue some fans have with him; settling for mediocrity, reducing accountability on each individual's output. A recipe for inconsistent lackadaisical play. Still, with the talent on hand, I expect a drastic upturn for the franchise beginning this year. No predictions from me, I just like to watch and support the squad with fervor.
